 Stone.—Owing to the cyclic trend of highway construction, output of
stone in Kansas decreased for the second year. 
 Limestone, sandstone, and chat were quarried in 54 counties. Crushed lime-

stone was produced in 50 counties at 144 commercial and 35 Government-and-contractor
operations. Dimension limestone was quarried and prepared at eight operations
in five counties.
