the standing timber In the state is
hardwoods. Itiese hardwoods are lo-
cated largely in the lowlands of the
coastal plain. The finest remaining
stands of virgin timber'are those In
the Upper Santee, the Congaree and
the Wateree river swamps. The most
valuable species* Is the red gum. The
United States supply of red ‘gum is
all in the South and one-tenth of the
nation’s red gum .grows in South
Carolina. The growth rate of the red
gum Is very rapid. This tree baa a
beautiful wood, the grain Is fine and
takes a high finish. It is especially
adaptable for furniture, veneers, idy-
woods and plastic.
^'Necessarily, onr greatest Industry
is agriculture, next are our textile
mills, located principally in the Pied
mont section, and third are our lum
ber and woodwork plants. Thede
woodworking Industries represent
many millions of dollars in plant in
vestment and provide profitable and
year-round employment to large num
bers of our people.
“If our state Is to progress Indus
trially, this last category offers the
greatest opportunities. Tears ago the
textile industry was almost entirely
located in the New England> states.
Now they are all In the South—be
cause the raw material—cotton—is
here. So with the wood wortclng
plants—they locate close to the
source 'of supply—the forests. Thus
abundant natural resources and with
it the Ihdustrlas whichr utilise the
forest products are now being threat
ened with destruction.
"There is now pending In th9 Con
gress a bill, known as the omglbus
Rivers and Harbors bill which con
tains 290 projects ..icattereh oif^ 32
states, AiaBka, Hawaii nd Porto wco.
Some of these are doubtless Meri
torious projects. Also included by a
and for six hydro-electric power de
velopments estimated to. produce L-
500,000,000 KWH. The qveraU co«t
is estimated at 1163,260,000 for con
struction and $926,04)0 annually for
maintenance and opemlon.
’One of these proposed power d»-
yelopments is the building of what is
called the Buckingham Landing dam
which would be located just north of
Rimini and a short di^nce below
the concluence of the Gangaree and
Wateree rivers. This dam would be
80 feet high and almost five miles
long. The top elevation of the dam
would be 142 feet and. the full pool
elevation 130 feet. ’The reservoir area
would be 186,000 acres. It would floo^
the entire Ckmgaree and Wateree val
leys to Columbia and to Camden.
'"There ere several sound reasons
why this project should not be under
taken. Among them might be men
tioned: 1. Government competitltiin,
on a tax-free basis, should be curbed
rather than extended. 2. A federal
policy of governmental economy
should be practiced rather than con
tinually increasing the taxpayers bur
dens. 3, 'The project is impractical,
the topography is totally unsuitable
because these river swamps are too
wide and flat. 4. It is unnecessary.
Water transportation is not needed.
The whole section‘is adequately serv
ed by improved highways and rail
roads. A farmer or business estab
lishment would much prefer to pay a
higher rate and get prompt and satis-

There’s a crisis in the maldngt
lf,stocks~pttEXip in fertnixer plants a^ agents’ ware
houses. the stream of supply will choke up. They must
move fast or the lack of num-power wilt cause a para-
lyzing shortage.
Take the Chilean Nitrate situation for example. To
aupply the quantity needed for 1945 crops, many car
goes must be unloaded each month at each port, then
moved out by train and truck for immediate allocation.
Itsnust move out of agents’ hands as fast as it moves
in. If not, the choke-up starts and works back to thf
ports, even back to the ships.
Already there’s a threatened shortage of nitrogen,
due to sharply increased war needs. Unless you help
smash the bottle-neck by
taking your nitrate as soon
as it is offered, the shoi^age
will become acute. Thous
ands of tons will pile up at
U.S. ports or on the docks
in Chile. The only place Chil

good is on your crops. Get
