Constellation of Plans by Deere

Workers Here.

Sale OF the Davenport wagon plant
of Deere & Co, to French & Hecht of
that city, as announced the first of the
week, will necessitate preparations for
the manufacture of metal wagons in
the Moline plant, formerly the Moline
Wagon company's shops. Only metal
wagons were made in the Davenport
factory. the wooden ones being made
here. From now on both kinds will be
turned out in Moline. The change win
necessitate employment of a large
number of additional men here, while
Davenport will not be the losers, mas
much as French d Hecht propose to
use the plant they have bought for an
extension Of their big metal wheel
business.
1t had been reported that certain
other Deere industries were to be con-
solidated with the plant here. but no
further changes have been announced
up to date. though the tendency is to
bring more and more of the branches
together at this point as a means of
cheapening production.

BIC DEMAND FOR
FARM MACHINERY
Moline Man Predicts Unprece.
dened Activity Here as
Result of War.
HAND LABOR SUPERSEDED
Effect Abroad Similar to That of Strife
of the COS in This Country,
He Says.

Great expansion of the implement
industry and a consequent growth OF
Moline during the next few years at a
rate which only the most optimistic
has ever dreamed of were predicted
today by a Moline man who had just
read an article in the Review of Re-
views on the food supply of the world
written by Professor T. n. Carver of
Harvard university. This article holds
out great hopes for such a center of
agricultural implement making as Mo
line is.
Professor Carver predicts a great
demand for foodstuffs all over the
world which will stimulate the imple-
ment making industry here, and he
also declares that the loss of men and
TIE engagement of millions of them in
the business of war will quickly bring
an unprecedented demand for farm ma
chinery in other lands.
Effect of Civil War.
To back up this assertion the writer
points to the effect of the Civil war
which was directly responsible for the
invention or the perfection of nearly
all kinds of machinery for the plant
ing and harvesting of crops and the
threShing of grains. In spite of the
fact that nearly all the able bodied
men of the country were at wIs ma
chinery enabled those left at home, to-
gether with the women and childrn,
to actually increase the production of
wheat in this country.
Foreign nations now at war, like the
United States before the Civil war,
depend largely upon hard labor for
planting and harvesting their crops
Scarcity of labor and the pressing
need for food, in the opinion of the
writer. should speedily bring about a
change in the methods of farming, and
this change is one that the American
of implements, with his
plant and materials ready and his ma
chinery already perfected to a high
degree, will be called upon to fill
