ILLINOIS STATE GEOLOGICAL SURVEY 3 3051 00004 2246 Digitized by the Internet Archive in 2012 with funding from University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign http://archive.org/details/agriculturallime02illi p$> a Illinois State GeoJ-ogical Survey Urbana, Illinois AGRICULTURAL LIMESTONE IN ILLINOIS IN 1930-1931 In cooperation with Mid-West Agricultural Limestone Institute The following table is a report of agricultural limestone marketed in each county of Illinois in 1930 and 1931. Detailed 1931 statistics for each county were received from producers with- in the State and from those in Indiana, Iowa, Wisconsin, and Mis- souri who ship agricultural limestone into Illinois. A few pro- ducers did not report and their production of agricultural lime- stone as reported on the United States Bureau of Mines cooperative questionnaire was allocated among the counties in which they pro- duce and in neighboring counties. The total amount thus distrib- uted amounted to 20,440 tons or 7.6 per cent. This amount repre- sents part of the production from Adams, Bond, Calhoun, Clark, Johnson, Monroe, Saline, St. Clair, Washington, Whiteside, and Will counties and is allocated to these same counties and to Alexander, Crawford, Cumberland, DuPage, Edgar, Grundy, Jasper, Kendall, Massac, Pulaski, and Williamson counties. Returns for vriiich county reports were received account for 92.4 per cent of the total agricultural limestone marketed.
