Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Soil Drainage
Exercise - Fill two cans with moist soil and plant in each four grains of corn. Place the cans in a warm room and water the soil occasionally until the corn is three or four inches high. Then add suflicient water to one can to saturate the soil completely. Observe the effect upon the corn plants. Finally, punch some holes in the bottom of the can and allow the excess of water to drain away. From time to time compare the plants growing in the two cans. It will be observed that the complete saturation of the soil causes the plants to turn yellow and show lack of vigor. The restoration of good drainage conditions will bring the plants back to normal appearance. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
