Draining Through Wells in Groundwater Drainage
Draining through wells or vertical drainage digs a channel to a natural reservoir to carry surface water away. The well must be lined to keep sediment out, using rock or tile, with screens to allow water while excluding solids. Used mainly in Indiana and nearby states, its usefulness is limited by locating suitable underground reservoirs and capacity. High costs mean it is not advised unless ordinary outlets fail.

Hints for Liming Soils and Lime Application
Ground limestone may be spread on fields anytime without harming seeds or manure ammonia. Do not mix with superphosphate or apply burned lime with seeds. avoid contact with young plants and manure for ammonia loss. Drilling with a seed drill or spreading with a manure spreader yields best distribution. avoid field slaking and hand spreading for uniformity.
