grant-of-aid. If they wait too
late It will be almost impossible
to get the lime hauled and spread
before October 31, 1940, which is
the dead line. It is very likely
that no orders for ground lime
stone can be accepted after Octo
ber 1, 1940. Orders are being
taken at the county agent's office
in Dobson.
Each 1,500 pounds of ground
limestone spread counts one unit
toward meeting the soil-building
goal. Each ton of lime received
as a grant-of-aid takes $2.00 out
of the 1940 payment, and the
farmer pays the hauler an addi
tional 50c. per ton when the lime
is delivered. This makes one ton
of lime cost the farmer $2.50.
