This is a high level of participation, and an average of almost 41 per cent of all farmers did participate. (See Appejidix, Table A-3.) Parti- cipation averaged highest in Carroll county and lowest in Strafford coun- ty. (See Figure 3.) In 1943, Grafton county used the most super- phosphate (1364 tons or per cent of the state total); Strafford coun- ty used the least (309 tons or per cent of the state total). Lime Used In New Hampshire The amount of lime reported as used in New Hampshire amounted to 27,320 tons, in 1942, or more than six times that used 10 years earlier. Complete figures are not yet available for 1943 and 1944, but the es- timated amount purchased under the Soil Conservation program alone, in 1944, is estimated at almost 35,000 tons. It is quite evident that use of lime has been greatly stimulated by the Soil Conservation program. (See Figure 4 and Appendix, Table A-4-.).
