Truck Farm

The farm Of f. L. Pope, truck
farmer Of jefferson County, about two
miles west of Watson's Chapel in the
hill lands consists of approximately
twenty acres, not all of which is plant
ed to truck crops. In fact, Mr. Pope
usually has 100 laying hens and from
six to eleven dairy cows, in addition
to the various truck crops.
II believe" said Mr.. Pope, in in
terview, that one of our troubles here
in the hill lands is that we don't plan
our work so that we have something
to do every day in the year. l work
hard but / am happy in doing it and
| save about 500 Il month on the
average Some years are worse than
others, but on the whole, where we
do most of the work on the place our
selves, except at harvest time, we can
generally keep up with all conditions" :"
The Pope Farm this fail showed
some of the results of careful plan
ming and care. The crops planned this
season consisted of two to three acres
Of bunch beans, two acres of sweet
potatoes and three acres of sweet DO
tatoeS and three acres of fan turnips,
one acre of poll beans, three acres
backberries.
Mr.. Pope has received as high as
S1,110 from an acre of early Irish DO
tatoes and gets on the average of $500
an acre for his late turnips. His sweet
potato yield this year on the early
crop was 450 bushels to the acre.
Naturally, to get these high yields and
corresponding profits. Mr.. Pope used
plenty Of banyard manure. That is
where the dairy cows came in. He
also used plenty Of acid Phosphate.
He used 20 tons of manure and 1.20O
pounds of acid phosphate GIG per
cent? TO the acre on his fall turnips.
In the winter time when there are
no vegetables to sell, there are milk
and eggs.

poet envision the wonders yet to be.
The possibilities are limitless, the pros
pcct amazing in its extent.
The Remmel Dam, first unit in the
Arkansas Light and Power Co. sys-
TEN, is the first completed project of
the kind in Arkansas. But there will
be many more. Hydro-electric power
for domestic and industrial purposes
in Arkansas has been a theory but now
II is Il fact. Two other units are to
be constructed above the Remmel, the
three with an ultimate development
of 125,000 horsepower and costing the
staggering sum of $1S,000,000 Even
the first unit with only 24,000 horse
power, has cost $1,6O0,000 The lakes
or reservoirs created by these dams
will cover a total area of 1888 square
miles and have a total length of 40
miles,
Here are some interesting figures
about the project;
Remmel Dam-Cost 81 600, 600; capa-
city $4,000 h. p.; length, 900 feet;
height, 40 feet; area flooded, 5000
acres; height above sea level, 250 feet
drainage area 1888 square miles.
Carpenter Dam-Length 1910 feet
height, 100 feet, drainage area 149S
square miles.
Blanco Springs Dam-Length, 1000
feet height 100 feet lake area, 46
square miles drainage area 1l27
square miles; heighth of surface above
sen level 565 feet,
SO much for the physical features
The company's high transmission lines
are already tied up with SO cities and
towns of Arkansas. 1t is develop
ment that has come almost overnight.
The Remmel Dam project is sufficient
to supply power for these stations al
most at their peak-load, When this
is multiplied by six, and the auxiliary
steam plants considered, it can readily
he seen that the era If cheap super
power for the development Of industry
is already here, Twenty years ago,
North Carolina was a bankrupt state,
now it is the third industrial state of
the Union because il has developed its
hydro-elcctric facilities and encouraged
outside capital to come into the state.
The Ouachita project is only one
link in the great chain of super-power
plants Harvey Couch contemplates. He
would harness the White and Red
rivers as well, erect great 100000
hp generating plant in the natural gas
fields near Monroe. La, develop the un-
used power of the Mississippi and
finally connect up with Muscle Shoals
in Alabama It too fulsome to hail
him as the Master Builder? Already
he is serving one third the population
of Arkansas in SO towns i'm Is counties,
10y 500 miles of transmission lines.
And it is only on the threshold.
