'Moon Garden' Aids Scientists - WASHINGTON (AP) -- Space scientists are using a 'moon gar- den" in their studies of food problems facing future airmen in orbit. The garden in which ordinary vegetables are grown under re- duced air pressure is one of the projects under the direction . of Dr. Norman Lee Barr, chief of space environment and life stiences research for Republic Aviation Corp. The moon garden is part of Republic's Farmingdale, N. Y., space environment laboratory. One of the possibilities under study is whether indigestible plant fibres can be turned into meat substitutes by sudden ex- posure from a warm pressurized space cabin info the cold vacuum of space. Barr said that if a heated weed stem is suddenly exposed to vacuum, tiny explosions in the plant tissue cells rupture the cell walls and liberate the protein so that it may be acted upon by a man's gastric enzymes, He added that there was some indication that plants grown in a partial vacuum produce more fruit. The laboratory also is attempt- ing to measure the influence of gravity on plant growth. Some vegetables have been planted and grown upside down, with their light source below them. Others have been planted upright to get a start, and then inverted. "When a plant is started nor- mally and then inverted, its ' growth stops," Barr said. "Plants like to feel the weight of the stalks on the roots.
