Alleghany County Soil Needs Lime The application of lime shown above is greatly need ed in Alleghany if a favorable balance is to be restored to the soil, says Herbert Osborne, AAA chairman. Alleghany County Farmers Urged To Use More Lime A recent order from AAA pro vided for an unlimited use of lime in Alleghany county, as long as it may be used where needed and according to good farming practice, it was announced this week. “This is the greatest opportun ity the farmers of this county have ever had to lime their farms. In other words if a farm has one hundred acres of land which has not been treated with lime it would be eligible to apply a ton to one and a half tons to an acre on all of it, and get credit for the full amount,” a member of the AAA committee declared. “He may either apply at the AAA office for farm delivery and pay ninety cents per ton or he can purchase the lime himself and will receive $3.30 per ton, pro vided it is applied in a practical way on or before January 1,1947,” he added. It is also pointed out by AAA officials that phosphate will not be available to fill all orders; therefore, I would like to urge all farmers to use every bit of lime that he can possibly apply, as far as it is needed, and in the event a farmer has already re ceived his allotment of phosphate he is still eligible for all the lime I he needs and can use.
