Strange to say, few farmers in this section have taken advantage of the water power opportunities they possess, and there are some who have abandoned old water wheels for gasoline engines and steam boilers. Locations where theer is suffi cient water and sufficient fall for operating grist or saw mills are not numerous. . But there are many places where enough power can more efficient than the overshot generating plant because of the sav ing in friction from belts or-gears.

Home-Mado Plants ''Except for generators, small plants can be built from lumber and fittings from discarded farm ma chinery, saw mills, and automobiles. There are probably fifty such home-nnade plants in Western North Carolina. Most of them are giving the owners fairly good ser vice, with occasional breakdowns. "The builders had to be jacks-of-all-trades to build them, and must be so against to' fix break-downs. These . plants seldom give all the nnwer that thp stri'nm ic r:mur rif Hivinir with factorv-mnde ennin- not be more tban half to two-thirds mcnt.

Care must, be taken to get a board wide enough to dam the water to a dead level before it begins to flow over the notch, and that the water has A a fall, enough to. clear itself be lowsay a depth of six inches, or more in a large stream. Figuring The Horsepower "With thp wfir mpasurements at lpw water we can figure the horse power from the table below ' and thus choose a water : wheel and generator ,of the proper size. This" . is done as follows:' "Down the left side of the table ; find the number nearest under the 1 depth of water at the stake. From this number run across the table to the column headed by the- frac tion of an, inch which gives the exact depth of the water "at-"the stake. - ' f . "For example, say the depth o? water above the stake was ' inches. We run down the left side of the table to 13, then across to the column headed by , and find the number 19.29. "Now take the number thus found (19.29) and . multiply it by the width of the weir notch in inches. Suppose this width is 44 inches. We multiply 19.29 by 44, , which equals 848.76, and this is the number of cubic feet of water ; per minute flowing over the weir at this measurement of depth. "A week later the water might ' measure only 11 J4' inches deep, and by using the table with this figure we would find that only 685.96 cubic feet of water per minute flowed over the weir at this 'meas- -urement. "To get the horsepower at low water, take the cubic feet per min ute as found from the taL' and multiply it by the number of feet the water can fall at the p posed water power, plant, and div ide bv 528. This fall will generally be " the distance from the water level at the wheel end of the flume to the. water in the tail race directly Deiow tne wneet. "In working out the example stat ed above, suppose the fall is 10 feet. We take the 685.96 cubic feet per minute and multiply it by 10 feet fall, giving 6959.6. When we divide this by 528, as directed above, we get a horsepower of 13, "If, instead of figuring the horse power, we would like' to know the kilowatts or KW (1,000 watts), take the cubic feet per minute (685 06), mulytiply by the fall in feet (10), and divide by 708, giving 9.7 kil owatts. To change, hc-sepower into "3. If you have a storage pond how many cubic feet of water will it hold? "4. What amount of power is needed m watts for: a. Lamps. b.

If the stream is not too large, take a board or, if required, join and nail together with cleats more than one, wide and long enough to form a dam across the stream.
