N. /. BOWMAN PROPOSES TO
MAKE FACTORY EMPLoYe
FOOD PRODUCER ALSO.
EVERY WORKERS HOME
SHOULD HAVE LAND
Former Arss Professor Believes
Scheme 10 Practicable in Smaller
' cities-Preposes to Try Out His
Idea by Erecting Number Of Homes
On One.Aere Tracts.

Waterloo, Feb. 26,-"rhe WORKING;
man should become IA producer instead
OF only consumer such is the
statement of VI. l., Bowman, local
rsaltor and former Amos College pro.
lessor, Mr.. Bowman mas made the
study OF farms and farm crops his life
work and he knows what can be done
with large farm and a small tract
OF land. This has led him to say the
place for the workingman lis on al,
acre tract near his work in order tina,
he may produce the major portion OF
his living and at the sane time hold
down his factory or othev job
Mr.. Bowman says it can be done
Il do not discourage the plans beins
formulated for placing the laoorinS
man on lot and making it so tina,
he can own mis- own home. am
heartily in favor of the plan to CO.
operate with the laboring man and
to aid him IN purchasing his own
home. But contend that the man on
the acre is ny far the best situated.
Mr.. Bowman has worked out a plan
wherein he shows that the hboring
man can do with an acre of ground.
He can, with proper tillage and care.
produce the major portion if not all
Of the food for the table. He can at
the same time earn his regular wage
at the factory or other place of en-
ployment. He can have the comforts
of life and live better and happier on
his acre than any other way and save
money doing It.
1T is the cost of provisions that
causes the average lsboring man
worry. He cannot save SO much I'M
less he can cut the cost of food
stuffs. He can do this by becoming a
producer. That is the whole secret TO
save.
THE laboring man is in a better
position ITO save today than ever We
fore if he will be a producer also and
thus cut down the cost of living. Why
Because he is getting better wages
than ever before. Prices of provis-
ions are not liable to go to pre-war
prices for some time and when they
do wages are bound to drop. The la
boring man will then be no better off
than now.
The sensible and economic act for
any laboring man to perform is to ac-
quire an acre tract of land and become
producer" SO. Mr.. Bowman sum-
marizes his plan. He ayers that the
man on the acre can produce the maj
or portion of his living by means OF
chickens, vegetables, meat. etc.
Mr.. Bowman states that while all
his plans are not perfected, he fully
expects to start the erection of few
houses as soon as weather conditions
permit. These houses will be erected
on acre tracts, which will be taken
from his farm, Meadowdale. They will
be located near the Waterloo Gas En- =
CINE plant, Iowa Dairy and the factory
districts.
