18 Lancaster Farming, Saturday, September 15, 1962 Best* Food Buys Meat Supplies Meat supplier and prices are foremost in the news this week-end as foodshoppers note adjustments in retail puce structures A reduction in the number of livestock com ing to market coupled with the short holiday work-week are factors largely responsible lor these conditions, reveals Tom Piper, Penn State Exten sion Marketing Agent The current meat price in crease is expected to be a tem porary one. Reports of cattle on feed indicate that meat output for the balance of 19 62 is expected to be slightly lar ger than a year ago. A sea sonal increase in the supplies of both beef and pork is ex pected within the next few weeks; this increase should mean some downturn in aver age prices at retail. Very few retailers will be featuring red meats this week end. Promotional emphasis will center around poultry, AYRSHIRE AUCTION 41 st Allegany-Livingston-Steuben Club Sale Sat, Sept. 22, at 12:30 P.

What Is Agricultural Limestone? “Agricultural Limestone” is the descriptive term applied to two types of lime used for soil improvement: (1) Carbonate type, such as limestone marl or oyster shells. (2) Oxide type, such as burned lime or hy drated lime. “Martin’s Agricultural Limestone” belongs to the first type (carbonate). This kind, after years of continued use, has proved itself prefer able to burned or hydrated lime (oxide type), which is unsatisfactory because it has a distinct tendency to injure young and tender plants. Moreover, the oxide type has a definite in clination to return to the carbonate type after application. Why then should the oxide type be used when it tends to turn into the carbonate type, and furthermore costs two or three times more. This is why the carbonate type in it original form is much more practical and economical to use. Pennsylvania State College has been conduct ing fertilizer tests for over a period of 50 years. During that time it has been demonstrated that the ground limestone (carbonate type, like Mar tin’s Limestone) produced greater average gains than did the oxide, burnt lime. But most impor tant of all was the evidence that the lack of any kind of lime so often seriously limited the yields in most crops. MARTIN'S LIMESTONE IVAX M. AIARTIX, Inc.
