UNDERDRAINAGE

The hot weather prevailing during the past month o

more has had disastrous effects in some sections in the Western part of the Province. Low and level lands have been practically flooded and made unfit for cultivation. Many of the farmers have been unable to get their seed sown and as a result a large proportion of farm land will lie idle during the year. This is a serious loss to the Province but especially serious to those whose farms are involved. These farmers are naturally discouraged and some of them are already talking of selling out and leaving the Province.

iii view of this condition and of the possibility of its

recurrence, the time is opportune for a. thorough study of

ossibilltles of underdraiuage There is no doubt that

the p - ia proper system of underdraluage would reclaim many farms that, under present conditions, are liable to total or partial failure. '

The subject of underdrainage has been discussed, and

the need of it fully realized for many years. but it all ended in discussion. One of the great difliculties in the way has been the cost of tile and the unwillingness of our people to risk the expense of installing a manufacturing plant.

i

Now, however, with a Government keenly alive to the pos- sibilities and the requirements of the Province, with tie 1910 _ _ _ _ , _ _ _ , 24,962,371 buoyancy, optimism and faith of our people keyed up to a. healthy working pitch, it is not too much to hope that in the forward movement already well underway, underdrain- nge and tile manufacture may figure in the near future. We understand the Government has been enqulriiig into the niatter and that means that if the project is at al

feasible it will be undertaken. The benefits resulting
