Drainage Research Simplifies System Research by P. W. Manson, Uni versity of Minnesota agricultural engineer, may prove helpful in simplifying field drainage with tile systems. He says it isn’t nec essary to connect lateral dram lines to the mam dram pipe at a 45-degree angle. Instead,_the lat eral can be connected at .a right angle (90 degrees) without inter rupting the water flow. Before, it was thought neces sary to have lateral lines connect ed to the main line at 30- or 45- degree angles to insure rapid drainage. Making a 45-degre© junction meant the lateral lines had to be curved to make that angle. Gaps between the short sec tions of tile on the outside of the curve made installation more complicated and expensive be cause of the necessity of filling the gap or trimming the tile With the junctions at right angles, the troublesome curve has been elim inated. “If you want to produce temporary feeblemindedness in an intelligent adult, sys anesthetize his nervous sys tem with alcohol. With the first drink he begins to react less quickly. . . . “Since our judgement and ethical habits are based on a reasonable degree of active intelligence, as soon as we an aesthetize the brain with liquor the victim may indulge m immmorality, vice, and gambling. He may in grand lously style squander his pay checque when a wife and children are anxiously wait ing at home, hungry and des olate. . “This is no sob. story or overdrawn picture.

Infestation ranged from. 138 maggots per 100 plants on the un treated check plots to only 33 per 100 in the plot treated at the rate of 1,600 grams of Thimet an acre. Forage yield gams were also significant On the control plot, there were only 504.4 grams of forage a square yard The next low figure was 680 grams on a plot treated with 400 grams of Thimet and the high yield figure was 775 grams on the 1,600 gram treated plot. The residual effect of the insec ticide is shown in the fact that the plot receiving the lightest treatment, 200 grams an acre, still carried DO9 parts per million of the insecticide on Oct 19, which is normally 13 days after the fly free date Fly emergence in this heavily infested field began on Oct. 1 and lasted only until Oct 12 In other words, the systemic immunity of the plant began several days be fore the fly season and outlasted it by a similarly safe margin. Increased plant growth was noted early in the experiment It was especially significant on Nov. 2 when the wheat reached ex cellent condition for grazing or silage making. On that date the forage yields on untreated plots< averaged 5,373 pounds an acre, as compared to 8,373 pounds an acre on the treated plots which had received 1,600 grams of Thi-* met, a net gain of 2,750 pounds an acre. In contrast, it is estimated that wheat seeded without insecticide on the fly-free date, Oct. 6, would have yielded no more than 2,750 pounds an acre by Nov. 2. Experiment station director, Dr. John H. Longwell, says that though the potential savings of the new method now appear fairly well assured, at least one more year of experimentation on a wid er scale will be necessary before specific recommendations for gen eral adoption of the practice can be made More than 4 million people are expected to visit the 96 county and community agricultural fairs scheduled in Pennsylvania this summei and fall.
