The Fords Tell Their Plans
krI030

IF WE KNEW anything better we could do for
i the country than make good motor cars, we
would do II.
thinks most useful, this country is going to regain
its momentum. We have tried to do our best in
our job.
When business was suddenly halted in its recov.
cry more than q year ago. we determined that we
should keep going anyway, if not at fuli-volume
motor car production, then at getting ready for
greater motor car values that would help fut,,re
production.
EXPANDING FOR THE FUTURE
We began to build 81 million dollars worth Of
new plants and equipment. We felt that if we
could not employ all our men building motor cars,
we would employ as many - we could building
better production facilities.
We were told, Of course, that this was no time
for expansion, that a wiser business policy would
be to 'hold everything"-which means, stop
everything. But no one ever got anywhere
standing still.
Besides, we are not defeatists. We do not believe
this country has seen its best days. We believe this
country is yet in the infancy Of its growth. We be-
lieve that every atom Of faith invested in our
Country and our People will be amply justified by
the future. We believe America is just beginning.
Never yet have our People seen real Prosperity.
Never yet have we seen adequate Production.
But we shall see it! That Is the assurance in
which we have built.
Business is not just coming back. It will have
to be brought back. That is now becoming we'll
understood in this country; for that reason 1889
will be a cooperative year. Manufacturers, sellers
and buyers will cooperate to bring back the bust
ness that Is waiting to be brought back.
This construction program Is almost completed.
It has increased activity and payrolls in a number
of related industries. 1t has given US better facil-
ities for building better cars and trucks, and
eventually our new tractor which is being perfected.

State Famers Are Urged
To Use Corn Crop
Corn Con Be Converted
To High Priced Pork.
Commissioner Soys

An opportunity to make profitable
use of the good corr crop, 10 mate
rally advance the hve-at-home pro-
gram, and to convert low priced corn
into high priced pork products, is
available through a combined hog
feeding and m~eat-curing program,
thinks ]. c. Holton, commissioner OF
agriculture.
reports from All over the state
indicate a good corn crop. Expe-
rience indicates that the entire crop
and more, will be needed before an
other crop natures, but there are
individual and temporary SURPRISES
almost everywhere, and the low price
corn is di~scouraging to farmers.
Not within two decades has Mis-
sissippi produced enough pork for
home needs, agricultural statistics
show, but the price of hogs on the
overweight basis, like the price OF
corn, is none too attractive. Mean
while, farmers of Mississippi buy mul-
tiplied thousands of dollars worth Of
cured pork products annually, and
these are high priced products. To
convert the surplus corn into pork.
and to cure the pork into quality
hams, bacon and lard, is t. develop
the low priced product into the high
priced products.
Difficulties experienced in curing
pork in the past have largely been
overcome. Not many years ago, warm
winter weather. especially in the
southern part of the state. caused
frequent loss by spoilage. Pro
cedure has been developed so that by
the use of ice, pork can be safely
cured on the farm. Most farmers,
however, have access to one or more
of the meat curing plants. and in
such instances, the way is clear. Mil
lions of pounds of. pork have been
cured by these meat curing plants.

THE necessity that Mississippi
farmers produce on their farms the
bulk of their requirements of food
for the farm family and feed for the
farm livestock is emphasized in this
year Of low value cotton says Com
missioner Holton. I'VE have a good
corn crop and its market value *
low. To convert the corn into pork
and the pork into cured meat pro-
ducts is to bring the live-at-home
program into widespread use, and 70
add many, many dollars to the farm
income for the coming year"

that no ones hand touches but ours. OF nearly
everything else we use we build some quantity
ourselves, to find, if possible, better and more
economical ways of doing it. The experience
and knowledge we gain are freely shared with our
s~uppliers, and with other industries.
We take no profit on anything we make for
ourselves and sell to ourselves. Every operation,
from the Ford ships which first bring iron ore to
the Rouge, Is figured at accurate cost. The only
profit is on the finished result the car or truck
as It comes of the line. Some years, there is no
profit for US. But we see to it that our customers
always profit. A basic article Of our business creed
is that no sale Is economically constructive unless it
profits the buyer as much as or more than the seller.
Our new plants have helped us build more
value into all our cars for 1889. That means
more profit ON the purchase to the purchaser.
We have NOT cut quality to reduce costs.
We simply will not build anything inferior.
NEW TESTING EQUIPMENT
While we were putting up new plants to produce
cars, we constructed new equipment to test them.
The first weather tunnel Of its kind ever built for
research went into operation at our
laboratories this year.
