Feed crops boost livestock in St. Louis trade area
The Producers Live Stock Commission Association cites removal of stock and meat controls and a record corn harvest as fueling a strong rise in livestock production. They report a million and a quarter dollars of cattle and lamb replacements in three months, and many plan a 17 to 22 percent rise in spring pig crops. Local experts say rich soils and favorable topography support sheep and beef cattle, with a state goal to farrow 525,000 litters next spring, up from 432,000.

Sandoval coal prospects praised by longtime miner
F. W. Davidson of Sandoval, after 30 years in local mines, reports two 620 foot shafts still open and argues Sandoval offers favorable mining conditions and a viable path to profit for a new coal operation. He cites prior mine closure in 1922 due to management, not coal shortages, and notes nearby coal vein depth and available air shaft potential.
