Maintaining Ditches is a Big Problem of Irrigation and 



Land Reclamation 



Take a ditch dug by the Austin Drainage Excavator. Hard, smooth, firm slopes 

 of absolute uniformity. A good berm with properly placed banks. 



No chance of caving banks 

 or accumulations of debris. 



Or take a dipper dredge 

 product. Banks gouged out 

 to irregular line and left in 

 prime condition to cave; 

 bottom irregular, so capacity 

 is reduced and accumulation 

 of silt and debris made certain. 



Your interests make it worth 

 while to know the proper method 

 of constructing ditches. 



Catalog "S" will give you many 

 reliab'e ideas of what others have 

 done in this direction.
