Has Farm" In Cave,

A cave in the heart of the Ozark
mountains is the unusual spot chosen
for a farm by a retired citizen of St
Louis. While looking about for a
farm in the western part of his home
state. Robert Smith found an attrac-
tive 26-acre stretch, beneath part OF
which lay a large cave. Remember
ing the profitable use made of caves
by the mushroom growers of southern
France, he determined to test the pro-
ductiveness OF his acquisition. He first
constructed a 25-foot fat-bottomed
boat for his only practicable access
was by a small river running through
the cave. Then he had TO uproot and
haul away the stalagmites and sta
lactites-the lime deposits left by the
incessant dripping of water during
many centuries. Except for a clayey
substance, ochre, which covered part
of the walls, the cavern floor was bare
limestone, so that the final preliminary
activity was to spread soil and manure
over the ground Mushrooms are Pc
culiarly suited for such a project as
the cave farm.
