University offering farm for sale
The University has announced it will offer for public sale on
Wednesday, Sept. 13 a 192-acre farm in Spruce Creek Town
ship in Huntingdon County.
. The property, known as Carper Farm, is located 20 miles
south of State College, along Route 45, one mile north of
Spruce Creek. . -
' The University purchased the property in 1964, said Richard
H. Baker, assistant treasurer and director of financial
management for the University. Under agreement, the
present tenants, Mr. and Mrs. George . W. Barr, have
remained to operate the farm and act as guardians of the trout
stream just south of the property.
The stream and surrounding 25 acres will be retained by the
University. They are particularly valuable because the trout
:, are native to the stream and the subject of trout propogation
studies by the University, Baker said.
Baker said the farm is being sold because "there is simply
• no need for it." He could not estimate what the University
would receive for it, only that it would be sold to the highest
bidder. ,
An open inspection of the property will be held on Sunday
Interest-funding groups top labor
WASHINGTON (UPI) Recently
formed conservative groups have been
far more successful raising funds for
this year's congressional campaigns
than traditional business and labor
groups, the Federal Election Com
mission reported Thursday.
The report showed that four of the five
most successful political action com
mittees in the 18-month period ending
last June were identified with con
servative issues. .
The other one was the American
• Medical Society's political arm, a group
with no.political affiliation but which has
a long history of supporting conservative
p i causes and candidates.
The AFL-CIO, traditionally one of the
, leading spenders in political races,
. ranked no better than eighth in the list of
fund-raisers.
"The FEC figures released today
confirm the alarming. trend in the
"growth of special interest group political
', money in general, and corporate related
political money in particular," said Fred
Wertheimer, senior vice president of
Common Cause, a watchdog group.
"We are rapidly heading toward a new
political system of 'PAC democracy'
with Congress representing the political
action committees of America instead of
its citizens,'''he said.

The Barrs could not be reached for comment on their plans.
The property includes 80 acres of tillable land, 54 acres in
pasture, 7 acres in timber and brush and a one acre homesite,
where a colonial brick house, built in the mid-1880s, stands.
Other structure's include a barn, a corn crib, a horse stable,
hog-pen and shop building. Mineral rights are included with
the sale.
• An interesting feature of the surrounding area is an old
stone toll house on a two-acre tract which stands in testament
to a thruway that once passed through the land, Baker said.
The colonial house faces opposite the current road, in the
direction of the former route.
