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.
