Sent to the President by unani- mous vote of both Houses of Con- gress, the bill seeks only to patent the individual plant. However a question rises whether any organi- zation acquiring patent rights to a newly originated plant might be in a position to sell its seeds or other reproductive units at a price pro- CONTRACT FOR Farm crops today are the result | of constant improvements and de- velopments, which for lack of plant patents have come into the hands of the farmer at slight increase in seed costs.
