Dor in the South is eagerly looking
forward to a new outlet that will soon
be opened here with the beginning of
work on Henry Ford's recently pur-
chased 9,000-acre plantation, which
he will use in various agricultural
pursuits. The investment represents
an outlay of over $15O,OOO.

ing on using Negro labor to develop
his vast acreage in Georgia, as he
did with large rubber plantation he
bought last year in Liberia, through
its colored U. S. Minister, Solomon
p. Hood. The U. S. venture is ex-
pected to employ hundreds of Ne
groes at something like the lucrative
wages that Ford is accustomed to
paying his workers.
