Cedar Lake Farm Is Bulging Up 15 Feel Experts Explain Farm Phenomenon Cedar Lake, Ind., Nov. 18—(UP) —Henry Huppenthal’s farmland is bulging up 15 feet in what soil experts described today as an “agricultural phenomenon.” About 25,000 square yards of earth has bulged 15 feet higher i than the surrounding land. Huppenthal, himself, described it as “an eruption of the earth’s ' core.” He said he was puzzled, but not annoyed, because the erupting soil is richer and produces bumper crops. Huppenthal said the land began to swell 10 years ago. Rich, black earth has been thrown atop the clay by the phenomenon, and Huppenthal has been able to produce mqre than 110 bushels of corn to ! the acre. The soil texture was described by experts as “excellent” to a depth of six feet. Chemical analysis showed that the raised earth is silt loam with an excellent content of organic matter, nitrogen, phosphorous and hydrogen. Huppenthal said the richness of the loam was shown when he tried

to grow oats. The experiment was a failure, because the stem of the plant could not support the heavy yield. A “baby eruption” occurred about 100 yards northwest of the large, bulged section, with the same type of soil coming to the top. Huppenthal said geologists told him that the ground is being pushed upward by an underground stream, or spring. The area continues to swell actively, and large cracks appear frequently along the earth’s surface. The underground stream theory is, supported by the fact that snails, usually found near bodies of water, populate the Huppenthal farm, although the nearest lake is four miles away. “What a farm,” Huppenthal said.
