(ADV) Perforated plastic tubing has been used . experimentally for sub surface drainage in Iowa. Most of the experiments were conducted in the field and therefore give infor- mation on the behavior under field conditions. One, IV2, 2, 3 and 4 inch tubes were used in these experi- ments. These tubes had twelve quarter-inch holes per foot to re- ceive the water. The cost of this tubing is less than the cost of tile and the 'jost of installation is less. This method of draining is par- ticularly adapted to cranberry bogs as the plastic tubes may be pulled through the sand layer behind a mole plow with relatively little damage to the vines. Two-inch diameter tubing should give both drainage and sub surface irrii^a- tion when used across the section. Tn bogs with shallow peat the mole plow could be gulled with a tractor. In bogs with deep peat or on b;gs which the owner did not want a tractor, the mole nlow would be vul'ed with a winch. Dr. Chandler at the Massachu- retts Cranberry Station has been studying the investigations made in T-wa and ho"es to have experi- r-'^nts at the State Bog and at oth'^r b'lgs this Snring. In the ex- perirrents conducted in Iowa the land had a sloo of 1 to 3 percent. As theie is no slope in cranberry bogs the d
