A Passion Flower, one of
the most complex and beau-
tiful flowering plants in the
world is growing in the liv-
ing room of William F. Bar-

A small plant when Mr.
Barto started it afew months
ago, it now goes almost
half-way around his living
room. He has had to tape
it to the walls.
Interestingly, this flower

LEGISLATION TO
PROTECT THE FARMER
Rep. Kenneth E. Brandt,
R-Lancaster, said that legis-
lation to protect the farmer
from mismanagement of
their Cooperatives and in-
sure a stronger voice in col-
lective bargaining in the
marketplace, is under con-
sideration in the House.
“According to the U. S.
Department of Agriculture,
average farm prices have
dropped 17 percent nation-
wide during the past year.
In the past three years Penn-
sylvania has lost about 4,500
dairy farmers alone because
of unfavorable economic
conditions,” Brandt said.
“Mismanagement of some
farmers’ cooperatives has
added to the problem. Last
year some 940 members of
the Lehigh Valley Farmers
Cooperative were assessed
$3.8 million to pay a debt
about which most of them
were unaware.”
