Reads Bible to tomatoes
— and they grow 8 feet tall
Mount Joy optometrist
John H. Stauffer grew a
tomato plant that is so
high, he needs a step-
ladder to reach the top
of it.
The secret of his gar-
dening success has no-
thing to do with ordinary
horticultural science.
‘‘l1 read the Bible to my
plants,” Dr. Stauffer
says.
There was a time when
John Stauffer was allergic
to tomatoes. ‘If 1 ate
tomatoes or tomatoe juice
I broke out in hives,”” he
recalls. The allergy dis-
appeared when John and
his wife became involved
in the full-gospel, or
charismatic movement.
‘‘1 was at a meeting.
and a man read to us
from 1 Timothy, chapter
4, Dr. Stauffer says.
Verse 4 reads, ‘‘For
every creature of God is
good, and nothing is to
be refused, if it be re-
ceived with Thanks-
giving;
For it is sanctified by
the word of God and
prayer.’

The kids will be judged
on various skills, and

who wants it.
