To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In all such cases the normal circulation of water through the soil and sub- soil is disturbed and the soil is wet and cold during the early part of the season, becoming baked and hard during the later months of summer. It would be difficult to remedy this condition without the improvement in the conditions of underdrainage which may best be accomplished by the use of tile. The surface configuration of the type is such as to afford sufficient grade for the tile systems and outlets are not diffic...ult of location. The chief difficulties to be encountered lie in the high initial cost of the tile and of the labor for ditch digging and covering. The uni- versal presence of a large amount of stone in the subsoil, the presence of rock ledges at shallow depths and the distance of the farms from points where tile may be obtained cheaply, all tend to make drainage operations expensive. Yet, upon the majority of farms, this im- provement is the first essential step toward increased profits. Tile drainage should be undertaken, at least upon a small scale, upon three-fourths of the farms containing areas of this soil.
