| Question: | "The turf at one place on our course is very poor. Investigation of the subsoil conditions indicates that at a depth of two to three feet beneath the surface is a hard-pan of impervious clay and gravel. The standing level of the ground water at the present time (January) is 9 to 12 inches beneath the surface. A proposal has been made to us to correct this condition of the subsoil by dynamiting. Would you advise us to accept this proposal?" |

| Answer/Response: | "It is evident that the trouble with your piece of land is lack of drainage. Dynamiting would not give you permanent relief. We would advise you to install a system of tile drains not over 20 feet apart. The services of an experienced drainage engineer would be of value to you in this connection." |
