Portland Cement.

Another use of limestone or lime Is In the production of Portland cement, and all branches of the United States military service use Portland cement. This cement Is made by mixing lime and clgy artificially, burned and then ground. On account of Its fireproof qualities and Imperviousness to moisture and vermin. Portland cement is used in fireproof buildings, in building fortifications. In lining war vessels, making canal locks, building piers, quays and breakwaters, and for wharfs and embankments. In the United States about 9,000,000 barrels of cement are made annually^jand a large proportion 9f. »* *» exported. Germany makes 18,000.000 barrels a year and uses 15,000,000 barrels of it at home. The principal cement plants in Indiana are at Sellersburg. Clark county; Syracuse, on the shore of Lake Wawasee; Stroh, in Kosciusko county, and Mitchell, In

Lawrence county.

The output of limestone in the Indiana quarry district is estimated at 10.500.000 cubic feet yearly. Last year 1.300.000 tons were used as road material, 89.0R7 tons as railroad ballast, fluxes used In treating steel and Iron 8>,(M7 tons, and In agriculture about 27,4315 tone. “This amount can easily be

doubled,” said Mr. Barrett.

Oolitic Limestone.

Oolitic limestone In a strip of land extending from Greencastle to the Ohio river. There are quarries at Romona, Stlnesvllle, Ellettsville, Bloomington, Banders. Ooolitlc, Dark Hollow, Bedford, Salem and Corydon. The outcrop ha* been traced In detail for 110 miles, through the counties of Owen, Monroe. Lawrence, Washington, Harrison and Crawford. In Crawford and Harrison counties, notably near Millville and Marengo, are extensive deposits of the purest limestone in Indiana. At Harrodsburg the limestone deposits are from seventy feet to ninety feet thick. There are large lenses of limestone at Stevens creek, five miies east of Bloomington, where the maximum thickness is

about thirty-five feet.

There are stone crushers for road purposes at Orleans. Delphi. Farmland. Rldgeville. Wakeland, Elisabethtown Spencer. Lafayette. Greencastle, Wallace, Yeddo, North Vernon, Russellville, Greensburg. New Point. St. Paul, Westport. Waldron, Williams, Mitchell, Bedford, M uncle, Huntington, Boonville. Hanover, Madison. Holton, Sellersburg Portland. Trimmer. Jasper. Kokomo. Mtlltown. Marengo and Shoals. There is a crusher for glass purposes at Terre Haute and crushers for fertilizers at Williams, Mitchell and Osgood. Promote* Crop Production. “Lime has long been recognized as a valuable agent In promoting crop productions." says Edward Barrett, state geologist. “The acidity of the soil is neutralized by the application of lime as the crop Immediately following will be better than the previous ones. Indiana ranks tenth In the United States in the production of lime. In 1915 Indiana produced 99.185 tons of lime.” It Is estimated that It coats about 63 cents a ton to crush limestone for use. The waste of limestone in Indiana is enormous and Mr. Barrett in all his report* urge* strongly the utilization of the waste atone. “A conservative estimate of the ouarry waste." said Mr. J Barrett, "would be 40 per cent, and the same estimate at the mill could be placed at 17 per cent. The part of the stone reaching the building trade is 1 about 50 per cent, of the solid cut." To Take Care of Waste. The present method of disposing of the waste limestone is to dump It into the old quarries or give it to the railroads for hauling it away. Sometimes there Is so much waste that its disposal is a problem. Mr. Barrett s suggestion for taking care of the waste stone is: More careful grading of the stone and the use of a large amount of the r jected blocks In rougher buildingsGreeter protection of gravel limestone for fertilizer and for use in the manu-

facture of glass

A greater production of lime. A greater production of Portland

cement

A greater production of crushed stone for road material, of flux in the steel industry and for crushed rock concrete. Aa the war continues the demand for lime will increase, as the quarrying of limestone and the crushing of it will be a greater Industry then in the states

before.

Farm Implement Shortage is of a Serious Nature

practically no stock on hand and that been less than normal since 1913. Dur-

CHICAGO, May l-Members of the special committee appointed by the National Implement and Vehicle Association to co-operate with the federal government In the movement to increase this country's food production, met here and Issued a statement calling attention to the fact that the success of the campaign will be seriously jeopardized because of a shortage of farm implements. due to the Inability of implement manufacturers to obtain more than 75 per cent, of the sheet steel needed to supply the normal demand of the Attention Is called to the fact that the farm implement manufacturers have

thousands of farmers in recent years have iet their equipment deteriorate to such an extent that many implements can not be used this year without re-

pairs.

The implement manufacturers declare reduced, they were compelled to appeal to the

federal government recently in order to obtain 75 per cent, of their normal annual supply. After a long discussion the committee issued a statement which In part, says: * “Reports show that a great shortage in farm implements prevails. AH factories making tractor plows are unable to meet the requirements of their trade. The corn acreage has been decreased by the shortage of listers. A shortage of corn planters is also imminent. This is occasioned by inability to secure raw material, particularly iron and steel

products.

“The production of implements has

ing this period farmers have not purchased to provide fully for their needs. Tools in the hands of farmers are more nearly worn out than ever before. Dealers and manufacturers’ stocks are

The increased food require-

ments means increased acreage and more than the normal supply of imple. ments is necessary if the situation is met. This condition is accentuated by a shortage of labor on the farms and the necessity for increasing the proportion done with machinery. Implement manufacturers are making every endeavor to increase their production, but are actually faced with a decreased production because of their inability to get

material.

" There are manufactured and sold to farmers in this country yearly approximately 100,000 harvesters and binders. A harvester and binder averages to cut fifty acres of wheat a year. This decrease in supply would result in de-

creasing the farmers’ harvesting ability 1,250,000 acres. Allowing for the acreage production indicated by the government in 1015 crop analysis of 1S.9 bushels an acre, we would have a loss of 21,125,000 bushels. “In addition to this, binders are used for the harvesting of oats, barley and rye, of which there are 50.000.000 acres planted a year and a corresponding loss would be experienced in these crops. “There are 80.000 corn planters a year sold in the United States. A corn plant- 1 er averages to plant forty acres a year. Reducing this output per cent, means a reduction of SOqooo acres planted, which, according to government reports of prwluction for 1915 of 28.2 bushels an acre, would mean a loss of 22,5«>,000 bushels of com. “Steel manufacturers In limiting the supplies of materials for Implement concerns, are proceeding upon the theory that if the farmer will repair his wornout tools and the dealers and manu-

as a war measure was adopted by the

facturers exhaust their stocks, Implement manufacturers can supply the absolutely necessary nee^ of the farmer if they only operate sft&O to 75 per cent, of their normal production. This conclusion is wrong and unless modified will result in a serious food shortage. Farmers' tools are seasonable Implements. In many classes of work it is not possible for the farmer to lend his tools to his neighbor or even to assist

his neighbor in his work.

"It frequently happens that there Is only a week during which corn planting can be done successfully. In seasons of this character every available tool is used. The present season is of this type because of its lateness and the corn acreage this spring wi^ be reduced because of the shortage or tools."
