LAST YEARS DEMAND

Figures obtained by the United States
geological survey from the producers OF
lime throughout the country show that
In 1912 the demand for lime was greater
than ever before and that the resulting
production was the largest In the history
OF the industry. The total production of
lime in 1912 was $500. f62 short tons.

The total number OF plants operting
in 1912 was l0lS, as compared with 1889
In 1911. This decrease in the number OF
producers was due In large part TO the
inactivity OF small kilns operated by
farmers for burning lime for local use as
a soil sweetener, and IN part 10 the ten
dencv OF the industry toward concentrat-
Ing plants into fewer and larger units.
