Underdraining helps one about getting along with his work. 

 He can plow earlier, thus making it easier for his horses, as he

 indeed, when a man on a drained farm cannot get in a reasonable 

 amount of crops in good time. This year comes the nearest to 

 cornering a drained farmer of any I have experienced. Tile 

 draining helps one to keep weeds down cheaply by harrowing corn 

 or potatoes ; it makes the land dry enough by spells even in a 

 pretty wet season. But haven't I said enough to show that it 

 is the very foundation of good farming on land that needs it ?
