Comm it toe.
“Hut both are myths,’*
said Murphy, whose com*
patuy lias built 20 of its 26
plaints in rural arras.
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.
