Book excerpt: Excerpt from Tile Drainage: An Explanation of How and Why Tile Will Benefit a Large Percentage of Our Lands and Increase Our Incomes; Together With Instructions for the Proper Installation of an Efficient Tile Drain Age System For several years we have realized the need for placing in the hands of land-owners a "Plain English" book on the subject of drainage - a book from which the technicalities of the usual text book would be eliminated. We discovered Prof. Jas. A. King on the point of publishing the manuscript of this book. The first reading of the text revealed the fact that Prof. King's ideas and principles agreed with those we had held for years. We purchased the copyright rights to the manuscript and have published it in order to do our part in making known the great material benefits which the average farmer or landowner may expect from properly tiling his farm. Prof. King was born and raised on an Iowa farm. He spent two years in the Extension Department of the Iowa State College, at Ames. For tour years he managed large farms in the wet areas of Iowa. For the past ten years he has been identified with drainage work and the Iowa State Drainage Association. He has been assistant editor of "Farm Engineering." and managing editor of the "Farming Business." At present he is managing his own farm in Mitchell County, Iowa, and writing for the leading farm papers of Iowa and Minnesota. With such a wealth of practical experience in drainage and an unusual facility for telling others what he has personally experienced, no one is better qualified to state the real facts regarding drainage and to give reliable advice upon this important subject. Prof. King's ideas upon the proper methods of drainage, its benefits and what is the proper tile, match up so perfectly with our own that we have taken the liberty of inserting a chapter at the end of this book to bring to your attention the merits of our product.
