Make Your Ditches 

 Permanent 

 Structures 



is the cry of every drainat:<- and 

 irrigation expert. You are not 

 putting in a system for this year 

 only, out for all the scores of 

 years to come. 



There is but one way to make 

 a permanent ditch, and that way 

 is to carve it with sloping banks 

 from the natural soil. A ditch 

 dug in any other way will cave 

 and fill up. 



There is only one machinethe AUSTIN DRAINAGE EXCAVATOR that will dig a 'ditch 

 with sloping sides in one operation. There is no other machine that will produce a finished ditch 

 so cheaply. Send for Catalog "S"
