Henry Ford Believes
Better Times Ahead
New York, Fob. 1.?The New York
Times published today lender a Detroit
dateline a copyrighted interview
with Henry Ford in which the
famous automobile manufacturer declared
that these ate not bad times
but good ones, and that we are on
the threshold of an inconceivably
bright future.
While the Ford plants still lay idle
because of the strike in the ltriggs
Company's factories, Ford gave a
leisurely interview at Detroit Oto The
Times representative, Harold N.
Denny.
He said that it is the development
of machines which will bring the
bright new era and he smilingly dismissed
technocracy.
"Technocracy seems, to mo misnamed,"
he said. "I see little evidence
of technical experience in it.
Its diagnosis of present conditions is
partly correct, but when it assumes
that present conditions are permanent,
when it forgets the fluid and
progressive elements in life, it simply
goes on the rocks.
"Life has a funny way of pushing
out when wo least expect it. It
breaks up^all our diagrams. All that
has happened now, as I see it, is that
life has broken out. Wc had thought
it nicely stabilised in certain financial
and industrial patterns. People
say something has broken down. I
say that life has simply broken out.
It always does.
"There will never be a technocracy
in the sense of a ruling mechanical
oligarchy, because life will not stand
for it."
An almost boyish smile lighted
Ford's face as he said:
"The machine age is barely started
now. In the real machine age which
is to come the dirt and ugliness and
confusion and noiso and disregard of
human rights which are all about us
today will be done away with." This
is only the ox cart stage of the machine
age. I wish I might live to see
the real thing when it coraes."
Although he declared no one knows
just when industry will pick up, he
said:
"This period that we are going
through right now is the recovery.
The bad times were back in 1929 and
before. That was the real panic?
that so-called prosperous period.
Business, at bottonri, never was so
bad as it was in what we called boom
times. The managers were off the
job. People weren't really working
or really thinking. Now they are.
We are seeing now the passing of an
old era and the beginning of a new
one better than anything the world
has known before." vv /

Repair and Overhaul
Farming Implements
. ... ?.?
Clemson College, Feb. 6.?That
farmers take pains to overhaul and
repair their old farm implements and
make them serve the purpose in more
economic production of crops is suggested
by extension fai^p management
and engineering specialists. The
prevailing differential between the,
price of farm products and the price |
of farm implements f? too great, they,
advise, to justify purchase of new
J machinery, except where it becomes
a real necessity.
Explaining the present status of
farm, machinery prices, O. M. Clark,
extension economist, says:
"The wholesale price of farm machinery
declined about 14 per cent
from September, 1929, to September,)
1932. Hut in December, 1932, the,
! wholesale price of most 'farm implc- *
ments was still ab^ve the pre-war;
: price. There has been some reduc
; tion in the retail price of farm mar- j
j chincry during this time, thought
I somewhat less than the change in the
: wholesale price, in September, 1932,1
j the index of retail prices of farm ma- ,
, chinery was 149 as against 151 in;
September, 1931, an3Tl02 in September,
1929.
"No material changes in the whole- j
sale prices of farm machinery were, i
announced last fall. However, since J
1 Qhristmas at least one manufacturer
j has announced a general reduction in
wholesale prices of farm implements.
"In 1932 some manufacturers sold j
machinery upon the condition that
I certain discounts would be. made in
j the price if the prices of particular
j farm commodities were not above certain
figures. Whether n similar pro- ,
! position will be made this year is not j
now known."
Seed Loans Before
The First of March
? |
Washington, Feb. 6.?The depart-)
meht of agriculture announced today.
that disbursements of money to
ers under the $90,000,000 crop^-pTa-]
duction loan bill signed 'Saturday by j
President Hoover will begin before |
March 1.
Secretary Hyde expects to approve
regulations to govern the loans before
the end af this week and instructions
will then be issued for executives
in the regional offices ai=Dallas,
St. Louis, Memphis, Minneapolis,
Salt Lake City and Washington.
A reduction of the maximum loans
to individual farmers from $400 as
was allowed in 1032 to $300 this year
is being considered because of the
increase in applications expected. The
bill authorizing the secretary to require
acreage reduction up to 30 per
cent as a loan condition and the department
expects to require the full
reduction except in the case of minor
acreages.
An increase of about a third in the
number of loans over last year is
looked for. The department is having
30 per. cent more application
forms printed than were used in 1932
when $64,000,000 was disbursed.
Requests for changes in legislation
in some states to muke farmers
within their borders eligible for
loans are being made by the department
through members of congress.
The law requires that the loan shall
be the first lien on the crop produced
this year. <>
In the case of Pennsylvania, a law
was enacted a year ago effective for
one year legalizing crop mortgages.
A similar law is considered necessary
to cover loans this year. Some
changes in Connecticut laws also are
believed necessary.
Whether the department shall make
loans to farmers who have not repaid
their borrowings under similar
loan acts in past years has not yet
been decided.

There will be services at the Mt.
Pisgah Baptist church next Sunday
as follows: JO a. m.f Bible school;

B. Y. P. U.
No true disciple can sneer at the
church for which Christ shed his
precious blood. lie bids us speed its
progress among men. In Matthew
16:18 wo find that Christ built it and
j entrusts great power to it. Wo
should revere her great mission and
commission and realize her constant
fight against Satnn?who schemes to
minimize her might and ridicules her
rights.
We should be proud of our church
and ^encourage others to attend.
' If the good society, songs, supplica^ons
and sermons help you, pass the
good word on. i
Tho greatest asset to any place is
a good wide-awake church. The com- j
munity owes a great debt to it. No j
self-respecting, God-fearing m a n j
would enjoy rearing his family where
there is no church -
We most cordially invite the public
to, worship with us next Lord's
Day. Luther Knight, Pastor.
