The second pic ture on the right shows ? bulldozer spreading the soil dug from the ditch over the field adjacent to the ditch. Both pictures were taken last spring on the EdgarWood farm at Andrews.

The ditch if actually located on t^e property line between the Wood farm and the Solo mon (arm, and each land owner shared the expense of the digging of the ditch. The question often arises whether spreading the dirt from a canal Is not harmful to the area over which the dirt Is spread. However, due to the fact that the ditch Is rruch wider at the top than at the bottom, no ill effects are suffered from the amount of subsoil which is spread. The majority of the soil re moved Is top soil, and the amount of sub soil, when thor oughly mixed in the spreading has no harmful effect on the fertility of thefleldoverwhich the soil is spread. In this instance, the canal did not completely drain the field, but more than one thou sand feet of tile was laid by U>? IWV t?IM-VWI(V> -? Ml eral ditches which run into the canal, or Into a near by stream. All of the land on the Wood farm affected by this canal was planted to com this year. There was no place in the field which failed ts come up to a stand because of wet ness, and It will be possible to harvest the crop without any delay due to the land being too wet to cross with harvesting equipment. More open ditch and tile drainage has been completed on the Wood farm than on any other farm in Cherokee County. Edgar Wood has said on several occasions that the money spent on drainage was the best Investment that had ever been made on the pro perty. He has gotten the farm in condition now where wet weather doesn't bother him any more than it does a farmer on a hillside farm. Area /Hm In Service - CAPE CANAVERAL, Fl?. Navy Lt.
