FORD producing
4,000 CARS A DAY
Present Production Greater
Than for Same Period
Last Year.
Ford is building cars at full
speed. And, acording to an
official statement from the
factory at Detroit, the demand
for Ford cars and trucks still
exceeds the output, despite
the fact that a new high level
of production has been
reached.
By the first of May the
figures representing daily pro
duction were in the neighbor
hood of 4,000 a day, so the
May schedule was set at 101,
125 cars and truck s, not in
cluding the output of the Ford
Canadian plant or any of the
foreign assembling plants^
The output mounted daily;
May 12th. brought forth 4,
092, the greatest number that
have been produced in one
day so far this year. Since
the month has 25 working
davs, present indications
point to a new high record.
A comparison of Ford pro
duction figures for 1920 and
1921 discloses the fact that
for April, 1921 the output was
greater by 34,514 than for the
corresponding month of a
year ago. The output for
May 1921 will probably over
shadow May, 1920 by be
tween fifteen and twenty
thousand cars and trucks.
Approximately 43,000 men
are at work in the Detroit
plant of the Ford Motor Com
pany. The factory is operat
ing on full time, six days a
week and three shifts a day.

condition than we are right
now,” said Henry Ford recent

PLANT LOW GROUNDS
' We are not a pessimist,
but with the continuance of
dry weather which we have
been having, we realize that
the early corn will be cut
short, and to those of our cus
tomers and friends who have
low grounds not already
planted, we urge that you use
every effort to plant late corn
or hay crops. We can not af
ford to let this low ground re
main uncultivated when we
need every ear of corn and
ton of hay that can be raised
in this country. If you have
any low ground you owe it to
yourself and to your neighbor
to make something on it. Do
not delay, but plant it as soon
as possible. PLANTERS
