Earliest recollection in the Dutch Fork carries me back to the Dutch oven. In the early days, all of our folks had them. But when I came along they were going out. It served our needs before stoves came. It was of rock, mud and brick, looking like pictures of the an cient beehive. As I remember them, they were about five feet square, built up from the solid ground about 2 feet. A dome of brick topped it off, hollow inside, with a small door at the front and hole for smoke to go out of the back. ^ On bake day, which was about three times a week, a roaring fire would be built in it with dry hic kory wood. That burned down in to a large bed of coals that really heated that brick interior. At the right stage, the remaining hot coals and ashes were taken out and put in the lye hopper, from which our lye for soap making was dripped. , Pies, cakes, bread, and sweet potatoes were ready. They were then slipped into the hot oven and the heated bricks baked them to a turn that old-timers say has never been equaled. I recall, as a kid, eating that divine stuff that came fpom Aunt Vennie’s Old Dutch oven. And along through the years it still comes to me in memory as tops in eatin*. I inquired of late to see if any of these old relics remained. A kinsman told we he thought he knew where one was, though long out of use. County Agent Evans, of Lexington, showed me one some years ago, across the river from where I was raised. It had the usual hewn-shingle shed over it, with posts of lightwood that defy both time and the ele ments.

Cost estimates range from $1.5 billion to more than $3 billion. It has been pointed out that in some instances it would cost the govern- meat as much as $1,000 per acre to reclaim some af this farm land. Another criticism of this pro ject came from the West Coast far mers who argued the project, which was not fully approved by the, various government agencies charged with the responsibility of investigating the feasibility of such projects, would give addition al water to one area of the country at the expense of another..
