Murphy told rural devel opment advisors to Secretary of Agucu'lture Freeman that the nation’s rural develop ment and urban congestion pioblcnfs “ought to be solved by decentralization of indua tiy.” He said it would be a “self-serving proposition.’’ Murphy said his company had found that in most com munities “you will find a large number ot skilled work ers, and many others that can be trained.” He called training the “cntical thing.” “We have discovered that as soon' as our new plants get well established in a community, the impact of employment and the business we do is reflected by develop ment of the town to the ex tent that it is an ideal place to live,” Murphy said. “It isn’t long before we have a rea'l difficult time transfer ring our executives from the countiy. One big advantage is that it only takes about 10 minutes to get to work.” ■Murphy said the farmers who move to jobs in industry leave their farms to others who have a larger, more prosperous operation, and a result is an upgrading of the agricultural economy.
