ANNUAL FIELD DAY
APRIL 2Oth.
Senator RanSdeIl Will Be
On The Program.

Coming as it does right after the
recent attempt on the part of the
Government to remove the Iberia
Live Stock Experiment Farm has
been definitely defeated, the Annual
Field Day for 1922, may be regard
ed in The nature Of a celebration Of
Of the victory
This yea the Field Day will b,
held on Thursday April 20.
Elaborate preparations are being
made for the entertainment of the
hundreds Of visitors who will take
advantage Of the field day to in
spect the various interesting fea-
lures Of the demonstration farm.
In letter from Baton Rouge
concerning this field day, Prof. W
X. Dodson. Dean and Director Of this
work writes:
we want the cane planters and
the rice growers TO go over the
work there and have a social meet
lng on that day. Eight different lots
Of beef cattle that have been fed for
more than a hundred days on eight
different rations of food products,
and a carload of hogs fed on six
different rations, including rice by
products, molasses, etc, will be on
exhibition. The breeding herd of
dairy cattle and the dairy cattle,
horses and mules raised on the farm
will also be on exhibition
As usual a substantial lunch will
be served to all visitors, free of
charge.
Probably the principle feature Of
the days program will be an ad-
dress by Senator Ransdell. Senator
Ransdell has not spoken publicly in
Iberia Parish for some time, which
fact should make his appearance
here on the field day program an ev-
ent of much Importance.
1t is hoped that this farmers meet
ing will be of exceptional value, and
the cooperation of all farmers and
business men is urged
By displaying proper interest in
he work of this farm the citizens of
j IBERIA Parish can assure the Farm
Icing retained here indefinitely.
Lack of such interest would CON
stitute sufficient and just cause for
it's removal.

PUBLIC MISLED ON
MUSCLES SHOALS
Engineer Says 1T Is Run-ef- River Prop
ositiOn and amount of Power Has
Wide Variation.


ATLANTA, Ca, Nay l2-The public
has been mislede on fhe Muscle Shoals
g. G. Adsit, director and
executive engineer. of the Georgia Rail
way and Power Gpmuany. told the
gineers in its spring meeting here to-
day. The Southeast. Mr.. Adsit said,
hats MANY undeSeloped water-power
sites wlicn can be developed on a com
mercial basis to a much better adj
vantage than the DEVELOPMENT at Muscle
Shoals.
'tIt is distinctly a run-of-riyer propo-
sition, as no storage is created by the
dam except that required to control the
daily flow of the river continued Mr..
Adsit.
The greatest fuetuation in any
stream in the Southeast probably occurs
in the Tennessee River The United
States government in planning a de-
velopment at Muscle Shoals recognized
this fact and contemplated an instaiia
ton of 400, 600. kilowatts only a portion
of which can be depended upon for con
tinuous power. According TO hydro
graphs of the river at this point, the
amount of strictly primary power at
Muscle Shoals averages about 100000
horsepower. and even this figure is based
on the assistance of some steam capacity
which must be maintained.
- 1t is a source of considerable rn0~"t
to engineers who are familiar with the
Tennessee river to read in the press of
the enormous amount of power allotted
to Muscle Shoals development, usually
stated as 100000 horse power. and the
consequent misleading OF the general
public on this much discussed project.
'"Thp development has distinctly a
steam flow characteristic. the discharge
of the river varying selidely from month
to month and more markedly fsum' vsnr
to year The contemplated capacity of
400 000 kiiowatts at Muscle Shoals could
be operated under full load only at
widely separated intervals. since the
river flow does not equal this amount of
mower eXceDt on an average of less than
30 consecutive days per year.
