LIME PULVER AS
SURED FARMERS
Bank of Hardinsburg & Trust
Co., Will Advance Necessary
Funds to Secure Shipment.
The Bank of Hardinsburg lias again
demonstrated its interest in the wel
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 'rom each farmer using the pulver
to reimburse the bank lor the freight
By careful records Breckinridge
county farmers have found that they
can get out rock and pulverize it for
less than $1 per ton. Considering that
in some parts of the country farmers
arc spending as high as $8 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 pulver
should get in touch with the County
Agent cr the Bank of Hardinsburg.
