EARNINGS FUTURE
Great Falls Tribune

The trend toward industrialiZinj
agriculture with l~abor-saving ma
chinery and mass production is un
mistakable. The tractor and com
bine is already revolutionizing the
wheat growing industry in Mon
tana, and similar changes are be-
ing made in powerizing the pro-
duction of other crops in several
states.
What does this portend? One
thing is sure, we are going to pro
duce more and more each year with
less and less man power, which
in turn means that fewer people
will be living on the farms and
more people in the cities.
But is there a deeper signifi-
canoe? There are pessimists who
think that the ownership and man
agement of farms will pass into the
hands of wealthy individuals and
big corporations, organized for the
purpose, and that there will de-
velop, as the only residents on the
farms, a class of farm labor that
will be akin to the peasantry of
Europe, and the unskilled laboring
class of American cities.
On the other hand, there are OPP
timists who believe that, even if
the general and extensive adop-
ton of power and labor saving
machinery on farms does ultimate
ly concentrate the ownership of
farm lands in the hands of a few.
it will call for skilled labor in
the operation of mechanically
equipped farms who will receive
a much higher wage than indi-
vidual farmers have been able to
wrest from the soil themselves. l
Henry Ford is undoubtedly Civ s
ing considerable thought to what I
the future holds in this respect. {
for he gave out an interview on the
subject recently. Naturally, as an c
inventor and manufacturer. he a
looks at the proposition from the o
industrial angle. He says the time t
is coming when men will work GER v
tain months of the year in fac P
.ories and the remainder of the
year on farms. Both farming and
manufacturing are seasonal indus h
tries, he claims, and by rearrang- II
ing our industrial system we can IS
eliminate the waste of seasonal n
unemployment. +,
There are factors which enter n,
nto Mr.. Ford's proposal that are
lot satisfactorily explained by him. 10
For instance, will the farms be fo
BILE to absorb during their busiest al
eason all of the labor that could nj
nd would be released from the tb
actories? Will this labor be eff ia
lent in operating farm machines? ha
You'd factory labor care to be m,
