No. 600.-DRAINAGE ON FARMS AND DRAINAGE ENTERPRISES-SUMMARY: 1920 AND 1930 NOTE. The statistics for drainage on farms in the first part of this table were collected from the individual farmers while those for drainage enterprises were obtained from a special canvass of organized drainage enterprises. A farm may have artificial drainage without being connected with any general enterprise; conversely, a general enterprise may facilitate the ultimate removal of water from a farm which has itself no artificial drainage. Drainage enterprises comprise public corporations and local improvement districts established under State laws relating to drainage, commercial enterprises draining land for sale, other organizations engaged in extensive land drainage work, and tracts of 500 acres or more drained by individ ual farm owners. The enterprises may include timbered and other unimproved land not yet in farms. The canvass of drainage enterprises did not include any of the northeastern States, and no enterprises were found in Alabama or West Virginia, and in 1919 none also in Virginia No. 601.-DRAINAGE ENTERPRISES-AREA AND INVESTMENT, BY YEAR OF ORGANIZATION AND BY CHARACTER: 1930 1 Before tabulation the area in each enterprise was reduced by the amount of overlapping with enterprises organized previously.
