Ford Output Immense
Swinging into its big Spring
production program, the Ford
Motor Company on Wednesdy,
March 12, reached the highest
mark in its history when its do­
mestic assembly plants produced
a total o f 7,456 cars and trucks.
This record-breaking f i g u r e
does not include the daily output
o f 500 cars and trucks for export,
nor the production o f the Man­
chester, England, and Ford of
Canada plants which manufac­
ture most o f their own products.
The new production record is
o f especial significance as it indi­
cates the enormous demand be­
ing made throughout the coun­
try for Ford cars and trucks and
the company’ s endeavor to bring
its output up to the point where
it will attempt to fill all require­
ments so as to avoid repetition of
the shortage which existed last
spring when thousands of per­
sons were disappointed in not
being able to secure delivery
o f cars.

STATE M ARKET A G EN T
DEPARTM ENT
BY C. E. SPENCE, MARKET ACT.
This country raises too much.
The newspapers and periodicals
o f the land proclaim this. We
raise too much wheat, too much
of all dairy products, too much
fruit, tco many vegetables, too
much everything.
We have
“ over-production” and a great
“ surplus” must be marketed
abroad and the inexorable rule
o f supply and demand fixes the
low price of all agricultural pro­
ducts and puts the farmer in his
present plight.
So we should “ diversify” , the
learned economists and editors
tell us.
We should c h a n g e
about and raise more of what
we do not raise, and less o f what
we do raise. And all the other
farmers should do the same. And
then our statesmen at Washing­
ton get busy on legislation that
will permit us to borrow more
money to change our system—
and run a little deeper into debt.
And in the face of this great
deluge o f “ over-production” the
U. S. Department o f Agriculture
broadcasts the facts that we
bought $36,000,000 o f dairy pro­
ducts from other countries in
one year—$9,000,000 more than
we exported; that we bought six
and a half million dollar’s worth
of egga abroad; that in 1923 we
imported a million and a half
dollar’s worth o f hay; over a
million dollars of potatoes, $1,-
700,000 o f tomatoes, almost a
half million dollers of turnips;
$118,000,000 o f hides and skins,
and so on with lists o f imports
of products that we have a “ sur­
plus” that would fill a newspa­
per column.
With the wage scale and living
standards of nearly all countries
far below those o f this nation;
with the market value o f the
currencies of these nations drop­
ping Teach day, and with all na­
tions trying to sell to this coun­
try in order to get money with
value in it, how can the Ameri­
can farmer hope to get produc­
tion costs from his products in
competition? Why shouldn’ t we
have a “ surplus” when we im­
port billions o f dollars worth of
the same goods we raise? And
why shouldn’ t we have European
pi ices when the prices o f these
imported products are used to
fix the home market?
