u. s. DEPARTMENT
AGRICULTURE SAYS
IS LIME SHORTAGE

Washington, July 23.-Unless the
farmers Of the country are forehand-
ed in ordering needed supplies of lime,
says the United States Department of
agriculture, they may be unable to
get it when they want it.
The companies supplying agricul-
tural lime recognize two periods of de-
mand for lime--early spring and late
summer. Ordinarily farmers, 10 con-
serve labor and to make the hauling
and application of the lime all one
Operation, order their supply at the
time they wish to apply it.
In ordinary years the lime manufac-
turers can adjust their business to
this practice Now, however, with
transportation difficulties, shortage Of
labor in their own plants and diff
culties in obtaining fuel for lime burn
ing, the companies cannot mack last
minutes deliveries.
For these reasons the department
urges that the fall lime be ordered as
soon as possible.
