In efFect, then, the drained soil not only serves as a storage reservoir for the rainfall, but it retards its descent to the drains, S9 that the maximum discharge from the tiles takes place some time after the rain has fallen, and it soon diminishes to a moderate flow, that continues several day?. The amount of wat6r soils may absorb is very much in excess of any probable rainfall. The' water held by the drained wheat sojl, in January more than in July (table 16, p. 84:)j would represent seven ...or eight inches of rainfall ; and the difference in the water contained in the fallow and barley land (table 18, p. 87), was equivalent to from seven to nine inches of rainfall. It was shown, iri other experiments, that but a small proportion of the rainfall, in the summer months, was disposed of as drainage water, even in wet seasons ; and that in the winter half of the year the drainage from a bare soil was, in no case, equal^ to the rainfall, and from a soil on which crops were growing it was very much less.
