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.

The major issue decided by the
U. S. Senate during the past week
was the question of authorizing

of 58-23. I voted against the
measure.

ject is to reclaim thousands of
acres of western land for cotton
and other farm cultivation, offer
ing increased competition to our
Southern cottori farmers at gov
ernment expense.
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..
