Fruits trees are abundant & there are good looking farm houses. Bales of cotton are piled up at most of the stations along the road.
Live oaks & mesquit trees grow along the streams, many of the oaks are loaded with Spanish Moss. In places some kind of cedar tree forms dense groves. 
Since sunrise the weather has been about perfect, not too warm, but so it was pleasant with the car doors & windows open.

Feb. 11. Came into Ft. Worth at daylight. This is a nice city - seems more like Minneapolis. The country around is all rolling prairie & covered with good big farms. The prairie grass, where not pastured down, is high & thick & yields a good crop of hay that seems to be of good quality. Wheat fields are green. Fields of standard cotton & corn stalks are abundant & large.
