FORD'S FARM FACTORY PLAN IS ADVOCATED
In a probability Henry Ford has advanced the most practical idea yet or keeping young men on the farms, Henry suggests that we build factories throughout the farming sections, give these young men steady employment during the winter months when there is no farm work to be done, and shut them down in the summer when the men are needed on the farms. It is a sane, sensible, and eminently practical suggestion, it is one easy of attainment. It could be done in this community as well as any other place. We have the brains necessary to organize, operate, and market the products of such factory. We have the capital required for such a purpose. What more can we ask? Nothing—except for our enterprising farmers and townsmen to get together, take the bit in their teeth, and go ahead. Are we equal to the occasion?—Nezperce Herald.
