Shallow, SmallBore Mole Drains
To determine the efficiency of shallow (12 to 13in.), small-bore (lfin.) mole drains'the Department of Agriculture has been conducting a trial in the North Island for the past four years. Present indications are that the drains will give effective drainage— as good as that given by 3in moles at the usual depth on this country. low, small-bore moles are put in the work may require to be done more frequently than where the usual deeper 3in moles are installed, but the work would be very much cheaper with the former type of drain. The small-bore mole plough can be pulled with a light or medium-sized wheeled farm tractor ' fitted with extension rims.
