Drainage and soil notes from a field trial in 40 acres

The report details forty acres drained using a thorong method with clay and gravel loam soil. It describes undulating surface, lower sections, spring crops previously impracticable, and a dry, cracked summer with varying subsoil. Main drains use four and six inch horseshoe tile, jointing, stone guarding, and labor costs totaling about thirty-three cents per rod.
