sis Of thirty-six samples Of limestone

in the county, testing on an average
of 81 per cent calcium carbonate. As
q result OF this work 1850 tons Of
limestone were ordered by the Farm
Bureau from the Hawkeye Quarries
Company, at cost Of freight only
Next year this rock will cost eighty
cents ton plus freight. 1t is hoped
that community crushers can be es-
tablished in the county to utilize our
home product which is superior to
which is being shipped in. The future
of agriculture in Delaware County
will be determined largely by the
amount Of limestone used. manure,
