Ford to Build Farm Tractor Lightening Farm Labor
Henry Ford and son Edsel plan a factory driven tractor to cut farm labor in half. The machine would plow, thresh, pump water, run home appliances, stack hay, harvest, and even milk a cow. Workers would spend four months in factory and eight on the farm with profits shared. First tractor to Luther Burbank, world premier on Dearborn estate. It will not reach market for nearly a year. IT'S RATHER UNUSUAL for an American youth to face death on a spy in a foreign country. Kenneth W. Triest, a Princeton student, is safe at home after imprisonment in England. Leper runs free Oswendo Toledo, 12, Philippine boy, is seen as a health risk by San Francisco authorities.
