No doubt about it, it’s
tough when you have to
stand up to ride. But don’t
think you’re gettin’ a true
picture of bus travel now.
I’ve been drivin’ many

really enjoy a bus ride
under normal conditions.
And after we give the ax
to the Axis, I’ll show you
real travel pleasure, with
finer equipment, more com
fort and service than ever

That’s no pipe dream, and

Conservation News
(By Benj. W. Crouch)
The month of November marks
the beginning of the 1944 Food
Fights for Freedom program. The
slogan for this program is “Pro
duce and Conserve, Share and
Play Square.” In the program as
well as in the slogan, production
comes first. Before we can con
serve or share we must first pro
duce.
Numerous examples through
out the country indicate that
such practices as terraces, con
tour farming, strip cropping, the
establishment of crop rotations,
and the development of pasture
land, 'Will contribute greatly to
the meeting of production goals.
Of equal importance is the
utilization and management of
idle or abandoned land. Nearly
every farm in the county has
some idle land on it. Often th’«?
land has fairly good soil and
i could be returned to cultivation.
I provided soil conservation prac
tices are established.
1 Land not suited for cultiva
tion will often grow grass, or hay
crops, such as kudzn or sericea,
two crops vitally needed in the
production of dairy and livestock
products.
