Many a good civil engineer with years of successful railroad work behind him has made costly mistakes on his first irrigation or drainage work.” “Yes, 1 believe the State Agricul tural and Mechanical College should offer a special course in 'agricultural engineering,’ and not only teach the students how to get water on and off the lands, hut also bow much dif ferent crops require and when it should be applied.” "Well, we do need a new breed of engineers,” the other agreed. ”1 am manager for a canal company, and our engineer, a man of ten years' exper ience in railway work, made the mis take of supposing that a scant growth of tall grass would not affect the flow In a Linal!” j _ “But donT you overestimate the amount of wt>rk to be done when yoq talk of needing ‘a score or more of hydraulic engineers each yearr” ques tioned the Knglflihman.
