fruit and other farm products as
Smith had intended, he raised
mushrooms, rhubarb, celery and
bull frogs.
Last year he cleared nearly
$4,000 on his cave farm.
The rhubarb is started out
doors and is transplanted in the
cave, where it grows an inch a
day. He sells it at Is cents a
pound long before his surface
farming neighbors can get theirs
out of the ground. : Three crops
of mushrooms are raised each
year. A square foot f ground
produces more than a pound of
mushrooms, and Smith sells
them to st. Louis hotels and res
taurants at so cents a pound.
Outside the cave door he built
lake, using the rocks taken
from the cave for embankments.
A stream running into the cave
from the lake outside-which is
the playground for the bull frogs
Smith raises with his other cave
crops-also serves as a road or,
rather, canal.
Smith goes to his cave farm in
a flat-bottomed boat and hauls
out his produce in the same way.
He can work in his farm day
or night He has to carry a Ian
tern at either time.

ROBERT SMITH.

ROBEItI SMITH.
(EDITOR'S NOTE.-The
story of Robert Smiths
farming venture is interest
ing-and 1t is helpful in
that it shows what a man
can do on a farm by merely
taking advantage of his OPP
portunities. There are more
ways than one to make a
farm pay. Smith found a
unique way; another back
to-the-sOiler might look
around him when he gets on
the land and find another
way equally as profitable.)

All Bids the Same.

Secretary Daniels several weeks
ago noted the similarity of bids for
some armor plate for battleship No.
SO and rejected all the bids. He
issued a statement advocating the
erection OF a government plant, hav-
ing ascertained that it could be run
profitably. He did not advocate the
building of a plant big enough to put
the private plants out of business,
but one big enough to force the 9th
ers to compete with the government
one in supplying part of the armor
for the big battleships.
When three big steel companies,
the Midvale, Carnegie and Bethle-
hem, submitted identical bids for
equipment on battleship No. SO there
was further proof of collision. Fol
lowing this incident Representative
Britton introduced his bill. The lat
ter bids were the same as those last
year, $454 a ton. In 1907 the price
was $420; in 1906 it was $346.
Would Be Big Saving.
Investigation on which Secretary
Daniels based his recommendation to
congress that a government plant be
built showed that in a government
plant, capable of turning out 10000
tons a year, which is about half of
the armor plate needed on a two
battleship programme, the cost of
the armor will not exceed 1914 a
ton. On this basis, saving of S140
a ton, the government would save
$1,400,O00 a year. Deducting the
interest on the plant the government
would still make over $1,0O0,000 a
year.
The same problem came up sever
al years ago in the manufacture of
powder. A government powder plant
was built, large enough to make on
~ a part of the amount used, and
now Uncle Sam is saving $26S.S0 a
ton on powder. The government
manufactures its own guns, without
having been forced to do so by com
petition, and it is predicted now that
the greediness of the armOr plate
people will soon kill off the SNAP"
they have been enjoying for some
years.
