You can contact this "Wizard of Frog Hollow" by writing to Leonard Slabaugh, Route 3, Box 59, Poplar Bluff, Missouri 63901. Or call him by dialing (314) 785-7517. Or just drive on down to Poplar Bluff and visit the farm (parts of it are open to the public). You won't have any trouble finding the place, especially at night: It'll be the one that's filling the air with more croaks and groans than The Great Dismal Swamp.

Doesn't all that noise bother Leonard Slabaugh? Would it bother you . . . if you knew that each one of the 20,000 or so bullfrogs you own was worth up to $25 apiece?

EDITOR'S NOTE: Additional in formation about frog farming can be obtained from Vol Brashears, P .O. Box 126, Berryville, Arkansas 72616 and NU-TEX Frog Farms, P.O. Box 4029, Corpus Christi, Texas 78408. Please bear in mind, however, that the editors of this publication have not checked out either one of these sources nor have they had direct experience with Mr. Slabaugh. Exercise normal business caution when dealing with any of these frog farming operations.

    Very cool article. I am looking at my very wide and long backyard
    in a different way. If only the neighbors would all go deaf. As it
    is, I couldn't raise earthworms without someone complaining of the
    sound of earthworm digestion. Thanx! Great Article!
