LIME PULVER AS

Bank of Hardinsburg & Trust
Co., Will Advance Necessary
Funds to Secure Shipment.

The Bank of Hardinsburg has again
demonstrated its interest in the well
fare of the farmers of the county by
offering to advance the necessary
funds to pay the freight on the state
lime pulver that will arrive in the
near future The pulver will be loaned
free to the farmers of the county, the
state only asking that the farmers pay
the freight A small fee will be collect
ed from each farmer using the pulver
to reimburse the bank for the freight
BY careful records Breckenridge
county farmers have found that they
can get out rock and pulverize it for
less than 81 per ton. Considering that
in some parts of the country farmers
are spending as high as SIS per ton to
get lime on their farms, this is a
remarkable proposition. Few farmers
can afford to turn down the State s
proposition.
Any farmer interested in the pulvei
should get in touch with the County
Agent or the Bank of Hardinsburg.
