cial. although Scquoyah county can
not boast Of a phenomenal industrial
growth during the past year. there have
been a number OF DEVELOPMENTS which
will be of much benefit to the -soanty.,-
There has been an increased area of
land put under cultivation which with
the more careful methods Of agricul-
ture. has already assured an increase
of at least 50 pr-cent in farm products
for this year Noticeable also is the
importing OF considerable livestock OF
standard grades. especially in cattle and
hogs The familiar razor-back has
given way to the 500 to W0-pound
porker: the $40 COW has been super
sedcd by the $50 animal, and where a
few years ago the small ranger was to
be seen the farmers now have the heav-
Ter Shorthorn and Durham feeders.
