During the period of rapid growth, the agricultural progress of the county was remarkable, and an almost marvelous increase was seen in stock raising in the county. Up to the late eighties and early nineties, there were many large herds of steers in the county, some numbering as high as a thousand head. But about that time dairying began to assume more important aspects, and gradually the herds of steers became smaller and the herds of dairy cows larger. This was brought about by the taking up of all the land, and the cultivation of tracts that had hitherto been wild and open.
Johnsonville and Westline first appear on the assessment rolls in 1879. In that year 30 people were assessed for personal taxes in Johnsonville and 24 in Westline. Honner, Kintire, Morgan, Paxton, Vail, Vesta, and Granite Rock (unorganized) first appear on the assesment rolls in 1880. In that year 51 people were assessed for personal taxes in Honner, 17 in Kintire, 18 in Morgan, 56 in Paxton, 16 in Vail, 19 in Vesta, and 12 in Granite Rock (unorganized).

CHAPTER XXIV.
DITCHING.
Artificial drainage through the medium of ditching is one of the means by which the presence of mankind in Redwood county has produced a marked change in the county's physical char- acteristics.
The surface of the county, for the most part, consists of level or gently rolling prairie. The depressions are often filled with water, and in wet seasons these sloughs and swamps increase to the size and aspect of small lakes. The natural drainage is inade- quate and will continue so until the progress of the years has eroded deeper valleys for the streams. Artificial drainage is therefore the only solution of the problem.
Even in this regard, the solution is often difficult, as the slope of the land is sometimes insufficient to provide a suitable "drop" for the water gathered in the outlets.
Until 1906 there were no public ditches in Redwood county. A few trenches had been built for short distances beside some of the country roads, and here and there a farmer had dug a small ditch to drain a pool, or had laid a few tile in an effort to provide drainage for his barnyard.
In 1904, the county commissioners were asked to provide for the draining of the vicinity of Willow Lake. The petition was de- nied, on the ground that the cost would be greater than the benefits.
Then came 1905, with its excessive rains which continued for several years thereafter, during which many hitherto productive farms were given over to the muskrats and wild ducks. The need for artificial drainage being thus made imperative, a petition for a ditch in Sundown and Three Lakes township was granted in 1905, and the work started in 1906.
Since then the ditching has continued on an extensive scale. Johnsonville, which is drained by the Cottonwood and by Sleepy Eye creek, has no ditches. A petition for one is pending. Lam- berton, drained by the Cottonwood, has no ditches. Springdale, drained by numerous branches of the Cottonwood, has no ditches, but a petition is pending. Honner, a small township on the Minne- sota, has no ditches. Charlestown, drained by the Cottonwood, is touched by the artificial drainage system. Swedes Forest, lying along the Minnesota, is also touched slightly by the system. The other townships are well provided with ditches, though in some of them a still further development of the system is desirable.
Some of the ditches of Redwood county are open dredge
275
HISTORY OF REDWOOD COUNTY
ditches. Some are entirely of tile. Others are a combination of tile and open ditches. One ditch, County Ditch No. 5, is a plow ditch, the only one of the kind in the county. It was made with a ditch plow to which were attached from eight to twenty horses.
The amount thus far expended in Redwood county for ditch- ing is $665,089.77. This has been paid out through the years as follows: 1906, $332.28; 1907, $15,649.10; 1908, $85,788.71; 1909, $93,585.37; 1910, $80,583.00; 1911, $68,380.93; 1912, $31,555.95; 1913, $51,909.35; 1914, $63,692.06; 1915, $84,605.32; half year end- ing July 31, 1916, $89,007.70.
The ditches of the county have been inaugurated by two plans, the county ditches under the supervision of the county commis- sioners, and the judicial ditches under the supervision of the District count. The latter ditches are for the most part those ex- tending into two or more counties, though some of them are en- tirely in one county. Owing to the fact that the judicial ditches are numbered in the counties in which the petition is presented to the court there is some duplication of numbers in the judicial ditches of Redwood county, this duplication sometimes resulting in more or less confusion.
So extensive has the ditching project in Redwood county be- come that the county commissioners in the summer of 1916 appointed an engineer to take the matter in hand.
County Ditch No. 1 was first projected in a petition drawn up April 15, 1904, and presented to the board of county commissioners on July 11, 1904, as the result of which an engineer was appointed to make an accurate survey of the line of a main ditch, outlet, and branch lines of a ditch through Willow Lake. June 20, 1905, the petition was denied.
County Ditch No. 2 is located in Sundown and Three Lakes townships. The petition, dated June 27, 1905, and filed on July 14, 1905, was presented to the board of county commissioners on August 21, 1905. It was ordered surveyed and the viewers were appointed on that day. The petition was granted and the order establishing the ditch was issued on January 4, 1906. Open.
County Ditch No. 3 is located in Three Lakes and Paxton townships. The petition, dated June 16, 1906, was presented to the county board on Angust 20, 1906. On June 21, 1907, the report of the engineer and the viewers was accepted, and the petition was granted. This ditch was completed October 8, 1908, approved on November 30, 1909. On May 11, 1916, a petition for repairs was filed. Open and tile.
County Ditch No. 4 is located in the townships of New Avon, Redwood Falls and Paxton, and the village of Redwood Falls. The petition was presented to the board on September 26, 1906. This ditch was completed September 23, 1908. On August 29, 1910, this ditch was inspected and final payments were made, it
276
HISTORY OF REDWOOD COUNTY
being found that the ditch was entirely satisfactory. Applications for repairs on this have been twice dismissed. Open and tile.
County Ditch No. 5 is located in North Hero township. The petition, dated August 31, 1906, was presented to the board on November 2, 1906. On March 15, 1907, the report of the surveyors and viewers was declared void. The route of the ditch was changed a little and then the board proceeded to vote on granting the petition as corrected. The resolution was adopted by unani- mous vote. Open. This is the only "plow" ditch in the county.
County Ditch No. 6 is located in the township of Paxton. The petition dated June 12, 1907, was presented to the board on July 8, 1907. On October 25, 1907, the report of the survey- ors and viewers was accepted and the petition was granted. August 10, 1912, all the open work on County Ditch No. 6 was accepted after it had been inspected by the county board. The tile work was accepted on December 7, 1912. Open and tile.
County Ditch No. 7 is located in Willow Lake township. The petition, dated June 27, 1907, was presented to the county board on July 27, 1907. Viewers were appointed. The petition was granted January 18, 1908, after the reports of the surveyor and viewers had been accepted. On July 20, 1916, a petition for re- pairs was filed. Open.
County Ditch No. 8 was to be in the townships of Willow Lake and Charlestown. The petition was presented to the board on August 9, 1907. A surveyor and viewers were appointed. The petition was rejected but the proposed line of this ditch was made a part of Ditch No. 7.
County Ditch No. 9 is located in Three Lakes, Morgan and Sherman townships. The petition, dated August 10, 1907, and filed on August 12, 1907, was presented on September 10, 1907. Viewers were appointed on September 11, 1907. The reports were accepted and the petition granted June 26, 1908. The order establishing the ditch was issued on June 27, 1908. On July 11, 1910 this ditch was completed. On July 14, 1913, it was ap- proved and accepted. On November 4, 1908, a petition to have the ditch dug deeper was filed and later, on June 22, 1915, a peti- tion to have the ditch repaired was filed. Viewers for the latter were appointed on March 29, 1916. Open and tile.
County Ditch No. 10 is located in New Avon and Three Lakes townships. A petition, dated August 10, 1907, was presented September 16, 1907. The engineer's and viewers' reports were accepted and the petition was granted April 14, 1908. This ditch was finished Nov. 11, 1908. This ditch was approved with its branches on November 4, 1910. A petition for repairs was filed on May 11, 1916. Open and tile.
County Ditch No. 11 is located in Sheridan township. The petition was dated and filed on June 14, 1909, and was presented
277
HISTORY OF REDWOOD COUNTY
to the board on July 8, 1909. Viewers and a surveyor were ap- pointed. The reports were accepted and the petition was granted and the order establishing the ditch was issued on May 3, 1910. This ditch was approved on November 25, 1910. Tile.
County Ditch No. 12 is located in the townships of Delhi and Kintire. The petition, dated and filed June 14, 1909, was presented to the county board on July 9, 1909, and the viewers were ap- pointed on that day. The reports were accepted and the petition was granted on May 3, 1910, the order establishing the ditch being issued on the same date.
