In 1939 when lime was first of fered under the PMA purchase or der plan, only 75 tons were request ed for delivery to farms that year. It is evident that these few farm ers receiving lime that year spread tha good news of the results obtain ed through its use, for the follow ing year farmers of Laurens county requested and received 2,969 tons of lime. Mr. Workman stated that the av erage tonnage of lime received in the county each year, beginning with 1939 has been 5,040 tons. Ac cording to this, he commented, it would make a train load of lime a mile long to fill all orders for lime received in a year on the average, if the lime had been shipped at one time on the same train. Laurens county is one of the largest users of agricultural lime stone in the state. To keep the land in good condition farmers should use several times as much lime as they do. Some farmers have not yet tried out lime for con ditioning land, but mbre and more farmers are being convinced of the importance of lime in increasing farm yields. Many farmers have reported their fields have doubled » ing him that his farm needs lime. As a matter of fact, some farms do notr need lime. It is estimated that approximately 65 per cent of Laurens county farms do need lime. In all cases it would be advisable, he said, to have soils tested through the county agent’s office or through other dependable channels before purchasing lime or ordering lime through the PMA. Farmers Using Large Quantity Lime On Crops Laurens county farmers have re ceived the equivalent of a train load of lime through the PMA, contain ing 65,529 tons, since the beginning of 1939 and up through 1951, ac cording to Hugh Bonds Workman, Chairman of the PMA county com mittee. He said that this load of lime would reach from Laurens to a point beyond Gray Court, or from ’yields after the proper use of lime Laurens to a point in the neighbor hood of the State Training School below Clinton. on the land. Mr. Workman said that he didn’t want to mislead any farmer by tell- frtattd effectively In hundreds ef coses, with saving of time ood money by the FAMOUS AB-DKTOX 7-DAY METHOD Steps the wonting and ernving for drinhl Whit for fra mformsttom in envt in pUi Abt Sanitarium 60 4 f NO»TM ST GRifNVIUI S C • > ' Celebrates Birthday Miss Fredna Ross was hostess to 32 friends at a party in honor of her 9th birthday last Friday night at Joanna chib.
