Sorry to chime in so late but I was in the field and did not have access to
my library.  

Tile Drainage: or Why, Where, When, and How To Drain Land With Tiles, A
Practical Book For Practical Farmers by W.I. Chamberlain, A.M.,LL.D 1892.
He was the former Secretary of the Ohio State Board of Agriculture,
President of the Iowa State Agricultural College and Editor of the Ohio
Farmer.  This small format book has some great graphics  

At that same time there was The Drainage Journal a 48 page monthly journal
devoted to farm drainage.  I believe it started around 1879.

Subject: Agricultural Drainage Tiles

Has anyone done any research on agricultural drainage tiles? How much of an
agricultural field is disturbed from the installation of drainage tile?
Are/were the tiles installed at an average depth? Does anyone know of any
reference material on this topic?

Thank you,
Sandra.
