Tile drainage promises bigger crops and faster yields
Drainage tiles let land be worked and sown earlier than undrained soil. They shorten crop maturity times, boost yields in the first year, and raise land value. A bushel of wheat, corn or oats now buys more drain tile than ever, making farm improvements highly profitable and patriotic for the nation’s food effort.
