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

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.

Now, however, with a Government keenly alive to the pos-
sibilities and the requirements of the Province, with tie 1910 _ _ _ _

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.
