Fig. 5—Use of major moles. This is an area where major moles will be used as the outlets instead of tile drains. The double lines denote the major moles, which were pegged in on a fall of 1 ft. in 15ft.; the guide lines have a fall of 1 ft. in 30ft. If the major moles were pegged in to run the same way as the guide lines, they would run too nearly parallel to them to pick up many minor moles. The illustration gives an idea of the large number of outlets required when major moles are used. Only 3 acre should be emptied into them.
