Indeed, if . all the food, textiles, and other basic war materials produced on the farms of our State were suddenly lost to America’s war effort, it would be as disastrous as the loss of many major battles. 137,558 South Carolina farms today are producing the things needed desperately by the fighting men and war workers of the United Nations. Mpre than 900,000 people (over 48% of South Carolina’s population) are “in there pitching”—to set new records for farm output. 1 , > ' The' first of South Carolina’s farm products in value is cotton, followed by corn and tobacco. Our State ranks 9th in the nation in cotton growing, 26th in com and 5th in tobacco. And these are just a few of the crops and products that our farms are yielding — under a far- STROM’S CUT-RATE t sighted policy established by successive legislatures that has given agriculture its rightful place in the State’s economy. Members of the Greyhound organiza tion (a large number of whom grew up on South Carolina farms) have a par ticular interest in our South Carolina neighbors who live and work on farms and in rural communities. Ouf buses are, in many cases, their only means of public transportation. We feel we’re helping them do their big job better—by giving them easy access to nearby towns and cities for market ing crops, buying farm supplies and for seeking relaxation. Our buses have also aided them by bringing farm workers right to their gates. It’s all part of the job in which Greyhound takes the greatest pleasure — making near neighbors and good neighbors of all the communities that our buses serve in South Carolina.
