times the money necessary to accom

prudent enough to have the work laid
out beforehand by a competent engin

I was glad to hear you say,” said
the man who had alluded to the drain
age law, "that your engineer, to be of
use to the farmer, must be skilled in
drainage work We need specialists.
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
