♦ Downstream, there’s Ted Scott who.
,cid 17.500 worth of csnteloupes from
HMwHMMMMHMMMRMMi 25 acre* and 15 000 worth of wster-
melons from 15 acre*, while his
neighbor. James W. Jone*, spent the
whole summer dragging and burning
driftwood ao he could farm at all or
even drive a car into hi* front yard.
Never Heeded Before
It is stories like these which make
it *0 impoesible to generalise about
“flood damage.” or “recovery.” be-
cause when old man river start* roll-
ing the stupenduou* power of water
does strange trick* with th* work*
of tiny men.
Clark i* a tenant. But he’* lived for
about 30 yean on the same farm, a
SOO-acre tract with 357 acre* in cul-
tivation owned by Dr. M. K. Thomp-
son. The land is to the “Gooseneck
bend” bottom, which Dever to Clark’*
experience overflowed “until they let
all that water out of Grand river dam
with the other stream* up.”
Gooseneck bend i* a long, narrow
bottom, five mile* long, perhap* a
mil* wide at th* widest, aqueexing
dbwn to about a quarter mile to other
places, and bounded by high moun-
tain*. It wa* thl* squeezing down of
th* torrent which damaged Clark.
The water wa* running fast all up
and down th* bottom, ripping off the
rich topsoil he had been building with
careful cultivation for 20 year*. e
G**d Crop* Wariwd Oat
Before the flood Clark raised po-
tato**, sweet corn, sptoach, alfalfa
and corn. Hi* alfalfa looked like it
would make two tons to the acre the
first cutting when flood* struck last
Mpy. His corn normally made M to
00 bushel* to th* acre.
It’s silly to try potatoes now. Most
of the ground had to be leveled to
fill the pot holes, some of them six
feet deep. But he did plant cowpea*
and corn. Th* corn made 20 bushel*
to th* acre. He pactured the pea*,
then plowed them under. A crop of
autumn spinach made 50 ton* off 25
acre*, which wa* a fair return, but
about half normal. •
He planted part of the bottom to
small grain* and managed to take a
herd of cattle through the winter on
pasture, on land which usually is too
valuable to use for such a purpose.
A Five-Tear Jeb
“I guess, with the right kind of
management—and without another
flood—we ought to be back about
where we were in about five years,"
said Clark. “You see. the soil here
is about 20 feet deep before you hit
the sand. But there’s nothing left in
the surface.”
The next flood is a very real danger,
both in Gooseneck and down in Mc-
— ~ h banks have
.won’t take so
y. Nature had
built levee* out of drift, than held the
bank* with willow* and cottonwood*.
Flood*, when they came, were back-
water—water which flowed back up
little feeder creeks, ruined a crop,
but left more fertility.
Now those natural levees are gone,
washed out by swift water1, and Clark
ha* a crew on his land building bank*
which he hopes win bold back normal
floods.
Thi* construction, leveling and re-
placing of fence* took a year, limit-
ing crop production for Clark. Yet it
is right up the river where Villines
raised his highly profitable cante-
loupe crop.
