CHICAGO, NOVEMBER, 1909 I 



You Don't Backfill a Drainage or Irrigation Ditch 



If you did a dredge would be 

 one of the finest machines in 

 existence for digging them. A 

 dredge-dug ditch backfills by 

 caving and washing; this cav- 

 ing and washing would close 

 the ditch except for the fact 

 that it is always dug twice as 

 large as necessary to allow for 

 backfilling. 



An Austin Drainage Excavator 

 Ditch doei not backfill, because it 

 is carved with sloping sides in 

 one operation from the solid soil. 

 So perfect is its shape that, when an 

 Austin Drainage Excavator is used on 

 irrigation work, the lining follows the 

 machine without an atom of trim- 

 ming or tamping.
