DRAINING WET LAND WITH AN OPEN DITCH 



Ditching is much inferior to tile draining, where the latter is expedient, being more 



expensive in the long run and not as lasting. But only ditches arc 



practicable on some marsh land. The sides of 



this ditch are too steep 



AX OPEN DITCH WITH GRASSED SIDES ON AN EASY SLOPE, SO 



THEY DO NOT WASH 



All ditches take up much room. They become foul with weeds and 

 must be cleaned out
