Lime application expands as Linn County farmers order car lots
In Linn County several farmers place lime orders this fall with three cars set aside. Laclede Farmers Exchange offers a car in their bin for farmers to haul. Cloud Schoch near Brookfield adds 100 tons ahead of wheat for clover. Calvin Kling buys a car for fall oats and spring sweet cover. Dr John Rusk buys half a car for red clover with Fon Harvey. Tom Wade and Roger McLain take the other half car arriving in Linneus this week. W J VanHorn buys the remaining stock at Purdin. Fred Miller of Sumner hauls his balance from Forker stock and George Brenner seeks Forker stock for use. Lime pays well in Linn County, with farmers using it when weather allows.
