A incthanical excavator u?e(l in the construction of tile drainage systems. proved by methods of farming which introduce vegetable matter into the soil. The Benefits of Drainage. While the principal purpose of the tile drain is to make wet land productive, it performs additional functions in making the land sweeter by proper aeration, warmer by preventing excessive evaporation, more productive by increasing the depth of soil, and more resistant to drouth by making more moisture available for plant life. Underdrainage is a valuable agent in the development of farm lands, in that the waste areas on the farms are decreased and thereby the value of the entire farm is increased. If underdrainage is employed fields can be made more regular in shape, and therefore can be.
