To Sell Lime Plant

At the instance Of the State Agricul-
tural Lime Board, a Bill has been
introduced in the Legislature which
provides that the Southern Maryland
lime plants be sold and the proceeds
turned over to the State Treasury.
State authorities feel that the dem
onstration of the value of oyster shell
lime and the process Of its manufacture
have reached the point where private
enterprise will carry the work forward
when the State quits the field.
A report of the Lime Board to the
State .Comptroller shows that during
three years operation 1900 tons OF
waste oyster shells have been made in
to lime and sold to Maryland farmers
at an average price Of about $3.50 per
ton. This lime was produced IN lsolat-
ed parts of the State, and most OF 1t
was sold to farmers who had not pre-
viously used it.
The cost of buildings and machinery
for operating the two portable an 70
stationary plants was about $500.
The State appropriation made for me
purpose was $4,000 most of which 1t
is expected will be returned to the
State.
