Voskuil and G. N. Oliver INTRODUCTION The Illinois industrial area. — The strategic location of Illinois with respect to population, coal and petroleum deposits, water resources, and rail and water transportation facilities, influenced the development of an industrial economy at an early date. Of equal importance in the location of this industrial area is the large contiguous area of fertile agricultural land. Within this area also are inexhaustible deposits of coal and ample supplies of petroleum, and iron ores are close at hand — the basic mineral raw materials of industry. Illinois is exceeded in industrial production only by New York and Pennsylvania, and it is significant that industrial production in Illinois declined less in propor- tion from the 1929 levels of industrial output than that of two leading industrial states. The wealthy agricultural hinterland to the Illinois industrial area, in- cluding all or portions of the states of Indiana, Michigan, Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, and Missouri, is a nearby market for a large industrial output. Agriculturists, geologists, and industrialists agree that the agricultural in- terests of the area will be aided by the development of new industries and the expansion of old industries. The future of agriculture in many respects depends upon a better balance between industry and agriculture. In achieving this balance, the mineral resources of the State play an im- portant role far out of proportion to their annual value of output. Low-cost fuel and power from coal, oil and gas, and materials for industrial housing and con- struction, are available in large amounts in the State. The low cost of lake trans- portation provides a cheap means of assembling important raw materials not found within the boundaries of the State. Upon this natural resource base, a diversified array of industries can be built that are limited in extent and output only by the consuming power of the area. The mineral industry in Illinois exceeded all previous years in value of out- put with a total of $282,499,941 as compared with $211,050,411 in 1939. In rank of output among the states, Illinois also rose from a previous position of seventh place in 1939 and several preceding years, to fifth place in 1940. Petroleum production in 1940 reached the highest level in the history of the State, with an output of 146,788,000 barrels. The peak of production for the year was reached in the month of June, when daily average production was 506,500 barrels as compared with a daily average production of 401,000 for the year. Coal production responded to the stimulus of increased industrial activity with an output again around 50 million tons. [5] MINERAL INDUSTRY IN 1940 Fig. 1. — County location map of Illinois.

Clay products increased substantially in response to a substantial increase in building activity. Agricultural limestone consumption exceeded all previous records, passed the 2-million ton mark, and was the greatest of any state in the Union. The fluorspar industry has been stimulated to unusual activity because of the combined effects of unusually high production in the steel industry and the decline of foreign imports, during the present world war. Acknowledgments This report is made possible through the cooperation of both the Bureau of Mines and the Bituminous Coal Division of the United States Department of the Interior, the Illinois State Department of Mines and Minerals, and the generous cooperation of producers in Illinois in responding to requests for information. PRODUCTION AND VALUE OF ILLINOIS MINERALS Production and value of Illinois minerals in 1940 with comparative data for 1939 are presented in table 1. COAL IN 1940 Production An increase in coal production occurred in Illinois as well as in the nation as a whole. Coal production for the coal-producing states of the Union during the last four years is shown in table 2, and a comparative table of production during the last five years for the nation, for Illinois, and for adjacent states, is shown in table 3. Production by counties. — The production of coal in Illinois by shipping mines, by counties, and by months, is shown in table 4. This does not represent the entire output of Illinois coal because approximately 12 per cent, not included in table 4, is produced by local mines and shipped by truck. This table is useful primarily in showing regional concentration of the coal industry in Illinois, and seasonal trends, by counties.

The severe seasonal drop in coal production in Illinois as compared with the less drastic seasonal decline in the national output, is a problem which Illinois producers have not solved. Mining districts in Pennsylvania, West Virginia, and eastern Kentucky, are supported by the lake cargo trade in an otherwise normally quiet summer market. The mines in Illinois, Indiana, and western Kentucky have no similar outlet. Four possibilities for developing a summer market present themselves, all of which should be examined carefully. ( 1 ) Development of traffic on the Illinois and Mississippi waterways for entering the markets of St. Paul and Minneapolis and other points along the waterway. In view of the fact that water-borne coal supplies destined for Upper Mississippi Valley points must be moved during the navigation season in the sum- mer months, any traffic from Illinois to Minnesota markets, either by all-rail haul or in conjunction with river transportation, will increase mining activity in the summer months. (2) Development of a market among Lake Michigan ports in eastern Wis- consin. Possibility of developing such a market depends upon the granting of freight rate reductions from Illinois mines to Chicago on coal destined for lake cargo movements and, subsequently, the ability of coal operators to enter this market in the face of competition of lake cargo coal. (3) A study of storage problems of Illinois coals for the purpose of devel- oping methods by which coal can be stored satisfactorily for several months. (4) The development of a fuel, either through treatment of Illinois coal, or processing, or development of domestic fuel-burning, that will improve the posi- tion of Illinois coal for domestic use, in competition with lake cargo coal from the Appalachian field. COAL 13 Mechanization of coal mining in Illinois. — Expansion in mechanization of coal mining in Illinois is shown both in the increase in coal recovery by strip mine methods and the increased quantities of coal loaded by machine. The history of this development in Illinois from 1928 to 1939 is shown in table 6. Distribution of Coal in the Illinois Coal Market Area in 1940 Origin and distribution of all-rail coal. — Coal consumed in the Illinois coal market area is received principally by rail. The principal producing districts con- tributing to the coal supply in this market are districts Nos. 7 and 8 (Bituminous Coal Division classification) in the Appalachian region and districts 9, 10, and 11 in the Interior coal basin. A detailed distribution report of the origin and destination of all-rail coal for 1939 and 1940 is given in table 7. Distribution of lake cargo coal. — A total of 46,548,000 tons of cargo coal and 1,563,000 tons of vessel fuel was loaded on vessels at Lake Erie ports, of which 11,427,000 tons arrived at commercial docks on Lake Michigan and Lake Superior. The origin of lake cargo coal for both cargo and vessel fuel is shown in table 8.

Engineer Office, Chicago. COAL 17 St. Louis coal supply. — The enactment of an ordinance in the city of St. Louis for the elimination of smoke has had the effect of shifting the sources of coal supply. A certain portion of Illinois coal has been displaced by coal received from Appalachian fields and from Arkansas. The principal fields in the Appalachian district that were drawn upon were New River field of West Virginia, which increased its shipments from 10,000 tons per month to approximately 60,000 tons per month, and the producing fields in Virginia which for the first time entered this market in a substantial way. St. Louis receives coal in varying quantities from 10 producing districts, of which data for all but Arkansas-Oklahoma are available. Changes in sources of coal, so far as they can be ascertained, are shown in tables 11 and 12.

S. Bur. Mines, Monthly Coal Distribution Reports Nos. 100 to 111. The summary table shows that two Appalachian districts — New River (W. Va. low-volatile district) and Virginia — increased shipments into St. Louis in 1940 over shipments in 1939 by about 450,000 tons. This table also shows that Illinois supplied 89.0 per cent of the known shipments to St. Louis in 1939, and 81.0 per cent in 1940. Had the 1939 ratio been maintained in 1940, shipments to St. Louis from Illinois should have been 4,128,592 tons instead of the 3,748,905 tons actually shipped. This difference approximates the gains made by the two eastern fields. Arkansas coal. — With regard to Arkansas coal, data of shipments from this field to St. Louis are not published but for the heating season of 1940-41 have been estimated at 200,000 tons. Cost of Production of Coal in 1940 A preliminary summary report of costs and production tonnage for the year 1940 has been issued by the Bituminous Coal Division. Portions of the report which are of particular interest in Illinois are reproduced (Table 13). Cost of production in summary form for all producing districts and price areas is given in the first part of the table followed by detailed breakdown of production costs for mines in Illinois, Indiana, and western Kentuckv.

This is mainly the result of an attempt to use the slack coal produced in the handling of eastern coal over lake docks, or, in the case of North Dakota, to utilize lignite. Production of fuel briquets in 1940 amounted to 1,050,870 net tons, valued at $6,438,952, according to reports submitted by operators of briquetting plants to the Bureau of Mines, U. S. Department of the Interior. The 1940 produc- tion represents an increase of 17.8 per cent in tonnage and 11 per cent in value over that of 1939. The sharp increase in 1940 is probably due to heavier demand occasioned by the unusually severe winter in the north-central States in 1940. Briquets were produced in 17 states, and 13 of these showed increases over 1939 production. The bulk of the production continues to be concentrated in Wisconsin, but the greatest gain was shown in the eastern States, and Wisconsin and Pennsylvania also showed considerable increases. Other states that produced more than 20,000 tons, in relative order of importance, were Oregon, Missouri, North Dakota, Minnesota, and Washington. The distribution of briquets as COAL 25 indicated by reports from the manufacturers is penetrating new markets ; their use increased 17.3 per cent over that of 1939, in the country as a whole. Shipments of fuel briquets of domestic manufacture, into states in the Illi- nois coal market area, are shown in table 15.

COAL 27 4,500 4,000 Fig. 2. — A degree-day map of the Illinois coal market are; (Illinois Geol. Survey Rept. Inv. 46, fig. 4, 1937.) A degree-day is a day in which the average inside temperature is one degree higher than the average outside temperature. Heating requirements are almost di- rectly proportional to number of degree-days and hence degree-days can be used in calculating fuel requirements. Degree-days are calculated with 65° Fahrenheit as the base. The table shows (M) average degree-days for each month and (C) average cumulative degree-days during the heating season. In figure 2 is shown a degree-day map of the Illinois coal market area. 28 MINERAL INDUSTRY IN 1940 Table 17. — Average Number of Degree-Days for Cities and Villages in Illinois and in Principal Cities in the Illinois Coal Market Area, computed for the period over which such records have been kept in each city up to and including 1930 a M=Monthly Average C=Cumulative Average Illinois Month Aledo (30 yrs.)

Supply and Demand The annual supply of liquid fuels is obtained from domestic crude oil pro- duction, imports, gasoline recovered from natural gas, polymerized gasoline and benzol from coke-oven plants. The major source of supply is from domestic crude oil production. The principal demand for oil products is first for motor fuel, then for heat- ing oils, industrial fuel oil, railroad fuel, and bunker fuel. The relation between supply and demand of oils each year is shown in the increase or decrease in stocks of crude oil and principal refined products. The supply of oil from all sources in 1939 and 1940 is shown in table 20.

Since the opening of the new fields in the Illinois basin, discoveries have exceeded annual production. Estimated proven reserves on January 1 of each year since 1935 are as shown in table 24. Frequently there is a misunderstanding of the term "petroleum reserves" or "proven reserves" as used in the industry. Estimated reserves as reported merely take into account the amount of oil that can be recovered from existing wells with current methods of production. Estimates do not include reserves in fields or pools that are indicated but not yet proven, neither do the estimates take into account improved production methods, or secondary recovery methods until such practices are actually employed. A reserve figure for a given area will, therefore, change each year as current discoveries are added, as further drilling in proven fields permits more accurate measurement of a pool, or as new wells are drilled. 38 MINERAL INDUSTRY IN 1940 Table 24. — Estimate of Proven Reserves of Petroleum in Illinois, as of Jan. 1, 1935-1941 a (In bbls.)

The figure for January 1, 1941, is estimated by the Oil Weekly. b The figures for reserves discovered each year are calculated by adding production during the year to estimated reserves at the beginning of the ensuing year and subtracting esti- mated reserves at the beginning of the year. The actual reserves in the fields discovered during any one year may vary widely from the figures arrived at by the above method. Oil Markets and Prices The rise of Illinois to the rank of an important oil producer among the states and its strategic position near a large oil-refining center have raised the question of its effect upon the oil market and upon oil prices. Shifts in the sources of oil by refinery districts have occurred as a result of the new production in Illinois. The effect upon competing producing districts has been restricted mainly to a displacement of a portion of the oil hitherto obtained from Oklahoma and Kansas. The disturbing effect upon the market resulting from increased output in Illinois has been overrated. In order to obtain a better perspective of the position of Illinois oil in the national oil market, a series of tables and charts is presented herewith showing the principal movements of oil in the United States east of the Rocky Mountains. The principal producing districts of the United States and their contribution to the national output in 1940 are shown in table 25.

Distribution Refineries in the Pacific and Rocky Mountain districts obtain practically all of their crude requirements locally. A portion of California production is ex- ported in foreign markets. The Mid Continent and Gulf refining districts refine about 70 per cent of the oil produced in these districts. The remainder of the crude production is shipped by tanker to the Atlantic Seaboard and by pipe line to the Central Re- fining district. The Central Refining district receives 55 per cent of its crude locally (Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky, and Michigan) ; the remainder is received by pipe line from the Mid Continent fields (fig. 3). Oklahoma, Kansas, and Texas are the principal contributors in order of importance. Before the revival of the Illinois producing industry, this refinery area was supplied mainly by Oklahoma and Kansas. The Atlantic Seaboard is supplied almost exclusively by tankers from Gulf ports and from South America (fig."4). During 1940, a small contribution was received by pipe line from Illinois. The Appalachian refining district, in addition to local supplies, receives a substantial portion of its requirements from Illinois (fig. 4). Contributions from other sources are minor. See table 27 for movements of crude oil to refining districts in 1940. Within this production-consumption pattern of the nation there are two major areas of surplus production — the Mid Continent— Gulf area and California. The surpluses of the Mid Continent-Gulf area are disposed of by the tanker route from Gulf ports to the Atlantic Seaboard and through the pipe line route to the refineries in the Central Refining district. Disturbances in the crude oil market do occur as a result of changes in tanker rates, availability of tankers, local changes in quantity of supply, or local changes in price. In order to present a perspective of principal movements of oil in the United States, a series of flow charts is presented showing sources of oil for re* fining districts and principal destinations of Illinois oil (figs. 3, 4 and 5). 40 MINERAL INDUSTRY IN 1940 HO 105 100 95 Fig. 3. — Sources of oil in the Central Refining district, 1940 (in millions of barrels).

Output in California above that needed for consumption in western states and Canada is exported mainly to the Orient although small quantities also move to the Atlantic Seaboard, and previous to the outbreak of the war there was also a movement to European ports. East of the Rocky Mountains, the most important movement is the tanker shipments from Gulf ports to the Atlantic Seaboard (fig. 4). In addition to this, there is an important movement of oil from the Oklahoma and Kansas portions of the Mid Continent by pipe line to refineries in the Central refining district (fig. 3). Between the Atlantic Seaboard group of refineries and those comprising the Central refining district is a small group of refineries comprising the Appalachian district. Refineries in this district previous to the recurrence of large production depended mainly upon local supplies of crude from Pennsylvania, New York, Ohio, and West Virginia, supplemented to some extent by crude from the Mid Continent. Nature of Illinois Competition in the Petroleum Market Illinois production in 1940 was marketed mainly in three refining districts in the United States (table 28). In addition to domestic shipments, certain quanti- ties were also shipped to Canada. The effect of increased Illinois production upon the oil markets of the east and central west is shown in tables 29, 30, and 31. The movement of Illinois oil to Atlantic Seaboard refineries shows a close cor- relation to changes in tanker rates, so far as they are ascertainable. Monthly shipments and monthly average market freight rates for 1940, U. S. Gulf ports to New York, are shown in table 32. Consumption of crude petroleum by refineries in the Appalachian district shows almost a complete displacement of Oklahoma oil by oil from Illinois. The effect of increased production in Illinois upon conditions in the Central Refining district in 1940 was to increase refining capacity in this district to a greater extent than to curtail shipments from other districts. A comparison of receipts by refineries in 1937 and 1940, as shown in table 31, shows substantial losses in shipments from Oklahoma and Kansas. The addition of 100 million barrels of oil from Illinois more than offset decreased shipments from Mid Con- tinent fields so that total runs-to-stills rose from 164 million in 1937 to 226 million in 1940.

GAS 45 Illinois Oil in the Atlantic Seaboard Market The heavy demand upon the tanker fleet of the world occasioned both by the increased demand for tanker service by Great Britain, the replacement of losses in sea warfare, and the delays in shipping incident to transportation under war conditions, places before the American oil industry as a major problem that of supplying the large east coast market. This market is normally supplied by tanker from Gulf ports and only to a small degree by pipe line. Tanker shipments of crude petroleum and refined oils to east coast refineries from Gulf ports have shown a decidedly upward trend in recent years as shown in table 33. Table 33. — Tanker Movements of Petroleum Products from Gulf Ports to East Coast Refineries, 1935-1940 a (In thousands of barrels) Year Crude petroleum Refined oils Total 1935... 1936.. 1937 1938 1939 1940 141,193 153,026 170,766 150,716 157,819 161,987 154,933 189,888 210,259 216,070 244,224 266,334 296,126 342,914 381,025 366,786 402,043 428,321 Shipments of crude oil to the Atlantic Seaboard by pipe line during 1940 have been mainly from Illinois and totaled 5,431,000 barrels. Shipments were highest in May and June during the period of high tanker rates, and dropped when tanker tonnage again became available. With the tanker situation again becoming critical, the question of oil supply for the Atlantic Seaboard pipe line from Illinois and Mid Continent fields may become important. It is possible that by using all available lines, five to six times as much crude could be transported to the east coast by pipe line as is now being moved. NATURAL AND MANUFACTURED GAS Gas is supplied by utilities in Illinois as natural, mixed, or manufactured gas. Natural gas is obtained mainly from Mid Continent gas fields although small quantities are also obtained from natural gas sources in Illinois and Indiana. Manufactured gas may be one, or a mixture, of several kinds of such gas, such as coal-gas, coke-oven gas, and water gas. Most of the communities in the State are supplied with a combination of natural and manufactured gas. The heating value of the gas supplied to customers in Illinois ranges from 480 B. t. u. per cubic foot for manufactured gas to as high as 1030 B. t. u. for natural gas. Gas is sold on a basis of fuel value, and this is stated in therms, a therm being equal to 100,000 B. t. u.'s. One ton of coal with an average heat value of 12,500 B. t. u.'s per pound is therefore equal to 250 therms of gas. 46 MINERAL INDUSTRY IN 1940 The sale of gas by years, by principal uses, is shown in table 34. The sale of gas by uses by months during 1940 is shown in table 35. This table shows par- ticularly how the gas industry has been able to maintain a reasonably uniform load from month to month in spite of a large sale of gas for residential heating requirements with its'accompanying seasonal fluctuations.

BUILDING CONSTRUCTION AND BUILDING MATERIALS Building permits in 161 cities in Illinois showed an increase of 5.3 per cent in 1940 over 1939. The value of building permits by type of construction is shown in table 37. Table 37. -Summary of Total Value of Building Permits in Illinois Cities, 1939 and 1940 a Type 1939 1940 Change in per cent Non-residential $ 36,960,665 58,621,104 15,636,820 $ 44,545,776 62,782,515 9,829,942 + 20 5 Residential + 7 1 Repairs —43.5 Total $111,218,589 $117,158,233 + 5.3 a U. S. Dept. of Labor, Monthly Bulletins, "Building- Construction." The large increase in non-residential construction is due principally to heavy construction activities in Chicago and Evanston. This may also foreshadow the type of construction that may be anticipated in 1941. Due to a heavy rearma- ment program, building materials and skilled labor are being directed into con- struction for military and industrial use. Residential construction, although it showed an average increase of only 7.1 per cent for the State, was nevertheless remarkable in that, with the excep- tion of Chicago, Evanston, and Peoria, every city in the State showed an in- crease in residential construction, and the average increase in these three cities was 52.6 per cent. Notably active building centers were Bloomington, Danville, Elgin, Granite City, and Springfield.

LUMBER 51 Competition of Wood and Structural Clay Products The most significant rival of brick in the building of moderate priced houses is lumber. On the farm, lumber is still the dominant building material. In these two markets, structural clay products have been far less important than lumber. Nevertheless, in evaluating the position of lumber as a building material com- petitive to structural clay products, it is not sufficient to consider only the present price structure, because there are certain conditions in the forest industries which may tend to raise costs of production that will be reflected in increased prices for lumber. These conditions are (1) a practical absence of local supply of timber in Illinois, (2) an approaching exhaustion of timber supply in the Lake States region, (3) a substantial decrease in lumber supply available in the Gulf Coast forest belt, and (4) an increasing dependence upon the Pacific Coast for lumber requirements. Lumber Production and Consumption in Illinois Although Illinois is generally regarded as a prairie state, it has had and still has a lumber-producing industry, although from the point of view of meeting the annual requirements of the State, this production is negligible. The ratio of production to consumption for those years for which the data are available is shown in table 42. This includes both hardwoods and softwoods. According to this table, production in the State is about one per cent of consumption. Table 42. — Production and Consumption of Lumber in Illinois, 1904-1936 2 (In thousands of ft. b. m.)

From 1^22 to 1936, the lake states region continued to decline as a contributor to Illinois' lumber require- ments until its percentage of the marketed supply in 1936 was only halt that ot 1922. Supplies of softwood lumber from the South, although exceeding all other districts, have declined continuously since 1^22, and sharp decreases in available lumber supply from this district are anticipated in a few years. Shipments from the Pacific and Mountain districts, on the other hand, have taken a constantly in- creasing portion of the Illinois market, rising from 27 per cent to 43 per cent in the period from 1922 to 1936. This increase from the coast has occurred in spite of the fact that total softwood lumber consumption in Illinois had fallen from 2,413,295 thousand board feet in 1923 to a low of 437,003 thousand board feet in 1932. This increasing dependence upon the Pacific Coast for lumber supply, together with the downward cycle of construction, presages a difficult situation confronting the building industry in the future when the cycle of construction again turns upward. A depleted timber supply in the lake states and the South will force upon the Pacific source of supply a dependence that is more than pro- portional to the increase in demand. Prices for lumber will certainly be high because the minimum is determined by the cost of production plus transportation costs; but it may rise above this on account of the unusually heavy demand from all consuming areas that derive their supply from the Pacific region. What the rate of building will be in the immediate future is difficult to forecast. During the period of rearmament, when the nation will be, for all prac- tical purposes, on a war economy, there is likely to be a curtailment of residential and other construction for non-military purposes. After the period of rearmament and emergency has passed, there will be a housing shortage similar to that in 1921 following the World War. Rate of construction will increase and the demand for building materials will be heavy. An anticipation of these conditions and the op- portunity to supply alternative materials for lumber should be given careful con- sideration by the manufacturers of structural clay products. 54 MINERAL INDUSTRY IN 1940 With respect to supply of hardwoods, the source of supply for Illinois is limited practically to the lake states and Central regions and the South. Sup- plies appear to be adequate for present annual requirements, and questions of sup- ply and price do not appear to be as critical as in the case of softwood lumber.

Shipments of portland cement into the State and consumption per capita, as shown by producers reports, is an approximation since the figures do not make allowance for stocks of cement in transit, in warehouses at distributing points, and awaiting use at jobs. Production, shipments, and consumption of portland cement in 1939 and 1940 are shown in table 46. FLUORSPAR 3 Stimulated by defense activities and by a sharp curtailment in imports, the fluorspar industry in the United States increased production substantially in 1940 to meet the demand of American consumers (table 47). Greatly expanded op- erations at steel mills and aluminum plants in 1940 have so prompted the demand for fluorspar that total shipments of that mineral from domestic mines during the year were the second highest on record. Domestic mine production was 41 per cent higher and shipments 28 per cent greater in 1940 than in 1939. Steel mills are the principal consumers of fluorspar, and large quantities also are used in glass and enamel manufacture, and in the production of hydrofluoric acid which is essential in the manufacture of artificial cryolite, an aluminum raw material. It is interesting to note that the market for fluorspar in the chemical in- dustry is absorbing an increasing percentage of the annual output. Of the domestic production, the chemical industries absorbed 11.9 per cent in 1939 and 14.4 per cent in 1940. This compares with an absorption of 9.3 per cent of the total do- mestic output for the ten-year period ending 1940. This recent increase is due to a number of factors such as an expanding use of fluorine compounds and the in- creasing demand for synthetic cryolite. It must also be borne in mind that the fluorspar for the chemical industry is the "acid grade" which represents one of the a This section is based on U. S. Bur. Mines, Mineral Market Reports, M. M. S. 903, April 18, 1941. FLUORSPAR 55 purest grades of CaF 2 produced. In total value of fluorspar shipped from mines, the chemical industries' bill has almost 18 per cent of the entire value of fluorspar. Tables 48 to 52 show, for 1939 and 1940, details of the shipments of fluorspar by states and uses, imports by countries and uses, and consumption by industries.

Not only are the old established areas of limestone consumption maintaining their position, but the use of agricultural limestone in substantial quantities is being extended into areas where, hitherto, the interest in stone was not pronounced. Figures of consumption in 1940 are not strictly comparable with the previous year because, through cooperation with the offices of the Agricultural Adjustment Administration, it has been possible to secure consumption and dis- tribution data in counties where production is furnished entirely by small local producers and roadside quarries and from whom direct replies were not received in 1939. The use of limestone on farms has been substantially stimulated through the agricultural conservation program administered under the Agricultural Adjust- ment Administration. The grant-in-aid program which permits a farmer to re- ceive limestone in lieu of cash payments has also served a useful purpose in encour- aging limestone consumption. Under this arrangement, the farmer is permitted to draw a supply of soil conservation materials — limestone, superphosphate, and other materials — before the cropping season begins, and payment for these mater- ials is deducted from any cash payment due to the grantee for his part in adhering to the soil conservation program. By this sort of an arrangement, he receives part of his allotment at the beginning of the season and is also saved the payment of interest on limestone purchases if he had made such purchases direct from pro- ducers with arrangements to make payments when his allotment was received. Participation in the 1940 agricultural conservation program included 158,239 out of a total of 281,170 participating farms in the State, an average of 56.3 per cent. The grant-in-aid program has been particularly effective in promoting lime- stone utilization in the southern counties of the State where, hitherto, limestone has not been extensively used. The percentage of farms in the southernmost counties 3 participating in the agricultural conservation program varied from 60 to 80 per cent and, with two exceptions, all were above the state average of 56.3 per cent participation. This part of the State is also characterized by a high per- centage of farms operated by owners. Owner-operators in this area average ap- proximately 70 per cent as compared with an average of 51 per cent for the State. An area of high percentage of farm participation also exists across the cen- tral part of the State, embracing the area on both sides of the Illinois Waterway from the mouth of the river as far north as Tazewell and Peoria counties. Unlike the southern group of counties where owner-operator percentage is high, operation of farms by tenants is above the average for the State, especially in Fulton, Taze- well, Mason, Logan, Sangamon, Menard, Cass, and Schuyler counties, in which counties the average tenancy is 57 per cent. In view of the fact that the soil conservation program provides for a division of allotments among landlords, tenants, and sharecroppers in the proportion that 1 In cooperation with the Illinois Limestone Institute. 2 Figures for 1940 subject to revision. 3 Alexander, Union, Pulaski, Massac, Johnson, Pope, Hardin, Saline, Gallatin, and White. 58 MINERAL IND US TRY IN 1 940 they are determined to be entitled, as of the time of harvest, to share in the crops in 1941, there is an incentive for each of the parties concerned to adopt a soil- building program. To this extent, the difficulty of promoting limestone use on tenant-operated farms is being overcome. Limestone in the Soil Conservation Program 4 Among the fundamental purposes of the agricultural conservation program for 1941, the first is stated ''to conserve and improve the soil resources of the na- tion." The program, according to the published instructions to which reference is made in the footnote, provides for payments to farmers to help them pay at least part of the cost of carrying out these purposes by diverting acreage from soil-de- pleting crops and by adopting soil-building practices. "The program provides that a soil-building allowance for carrying out approved soil-building practices will be paid at the rate of (1) 50 cents per acre of cropland in the farm in excess of the total soil-depleting allotment for the farm. (2) $1.80 per acre of commercial orchards on the farm. (3) A county flat rate per acre of noncrop open pasture land in the farm based upon 2 cents per acre of such pasture land in the county, plus 90 cents for each animal unit of grazing capacity. (4) 70 cents for each acre in the commercial vegetable allotment for the farm. (5) Non-general-allotment farms — $1.10 per acre, adjusted for the productivity of the farm, for each acre in the total soil-depleting allotment for the farm in excess of the sum of (a) the special crop allotments for which payments are computed for the farm and (b) the acreage of sugar beets planted on the farm. (6) Special tree-planting allowance. In addition to soil-building allowance, a special allowance of $15 will be computed for each farm for planting trees." Application of limestone and other approved fertilizer materials with seed- ings of perennial or biennial legumes, perennial grasses, winter vetch, lespedeza, or permanent pasture, or the application of approved fertilizers to land on which these legumes or grasses are already growing, will qualify as soil-building prac- tice. "The ground limestone must contain calcium and magnesium carbonates equivalent to not less than 80 per cent of calcium carbonate. It must not be coarser than that ob- tained by grinding calcareous or dolomitic limestone, with all finer particles obtained in the grinding process included, so that (1) not less than 90 per cent will pass through an 8-mesh sieve; or (2) not less than 80 per cent will pass through an 8-mesh sieve and the multiplication of the percentage of calcium carbonate (equivalent) times the percentage of ground limestone that will pass through an 8-mesh sieve equals not less than .7200. "The following quantities of other calcareous substances are equivalent to one ton of ground limestone: 1,400 pounds of hydrated lime; two cubic yards of marl, sugar-beet refuse lime, calcium-carbide refuse lime, or water-softening-process refuse lime ; 14 ton of commercial burnt lime; four cubic yards of calcareous clay; one ton of burnt lime waste; one ton of agricultural limestone meal; 2750 pounds of limestone screenings; 2750 pounds of by-product of lead mines of which 90 per cent will pass through an 8-mesh sieve and which contains at least 80 per cent calcium carbonate equivalent; one ton of by-product of lead mines with the lead separated out by the water table method and the sludge ground so that the product applied contains at least 80 per cent calcium car- bonate and 90 per cent will pass through an 8-mesh sieve; or 2750 pounds of blast fur- nace slag which will pass through an 8-mesh sieve." 4 U. S. Dept. of Agriculture, 1941 Agricultural Conservation Program, Illinois, January 24 1941. AGRICULTURAL LIMESTONE 59 Up to the maximum payments allowed for following an approved soil- building program, the application of ground limestone will earn $2.00 per ton in the following counties: Bond, Brown, Cass, Clay, Clinton, Edwards, Effingham, Fayette, Fulton, Hamilton, Franklin, Jefferson, Mar- ion, Mason, Perry, Richland, Schuyler, Shelby, Wa- bash, Washington, Wayne, White, and Williamson. The application of ground limestone in all other counties will earn $1.50 per ton.

METAL MINING IN ILLINOIS The lead and zinc produced in Illinois in 1940 came from fluorspar-lead-zinc mining and milling operations near Rosiclare and Cave in Rock in southern Illi- nois. The concentrates shipped contained 1,410 tons of recoverable lead and 4,900 tons of zinc, compared with 308 and 334 tons, respectively, in 1939. The large increase was due to expanded operations by the Mahoning Mining Company, which in 1938 and 1939 developed a body of fluorspar-zinc-lead ore near Cave in Rock and constructed a 200-ton all-flotation plant which was run throughout 1940.
