Diversified Resources
of Indian Territory
MueKogee I. T. May 14. If tb
fUnltod Staties wer raked with a (no
tooth COmb It Is douljtful If Minn-
Cotfld bo found 33.non eq-iare miles of
land with such dlverstflpd resource
8 the Indian territory has. It Is fh
proud boast of tb- people here ha'
they can raise anything that can h-
raised anywhere else In the country.
And what is more they rati mAke good
the iiOast. It "stays put. ' This is a
remarkable country. It is not in the
flood belt of the Mississippi nor thf
emlarld or drouth bet ot the w's
lit has no blizzards or nil hot wn.'i-
Poojjjs do not freeze or tneJt here n
fceoifts to be the mooting point of itu
broetOs from the Gulf ntifl tne rnM
blasts from tho north. As a nwiit
the vlnterB are mild. Tho hot winds
of the west oncounter the moist winds
from tho Mississippi valley producing
a balmy atmosphoro In tho summer
The days are not extremely warm and
tho nights are pleasant. This sort of
a cllmato and the richness of the soil
makes It posslblo to produce most
anything. And tho production Is not
confined to things that nri grown
either. Tho country is filled with min-
erals of different kinds.
In Writing Of the Indian terri cry
one must tloal with it by nations for
jtho reason that thero are five differ
ent govornihenta horo and each Is as
i separate from the othor ns ono state
'is from another. Thoro Js not only a
difference In tho soil nnd chnractor or
'he fivo nations but nlso in tho char-
acteristics of ihe different tribes.
There Is as much difference between
a Cherokeo and Creek as thora in ' --
tween an Irishman and a Dutchman.
The same holds true of tho othor na-
tions. And It doesn't take a sfranrer
long to discern the difference. !
Tho lending industry of tho entire1 Governor Ferguson refused to np-
territory -of course. Is agriculture and 1rove tno PnnB for tho' Caddo coun-

barns. They run out all tho time. It
doesn't require any grain' to fatten
hogs. They feed on masv-acorns and
other nuts from tho trees. And they
get fat too.
It is also a great fruit country.
Nenrly ovory variety of fruit can be
found horo In the wihl state except
apples. The peoplo in the rural dis-
tricts do not put in half their time
looking after berry plants nnd bushes.
Thoy simply go out anil gather the
wild fruit when Jt ripens. If fhoy get
tired of beef and bacon which comes
mostly from Kansas City they go out
and kill somo wild gamo ior a change.
