SOUTH CAROLINA
t
It would take quite a stretch of the imagi
nation to conceive of South Carolina
without its rich, farmlands. 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.
