Corn & cotton are the principal crops, but some grain & considerable Sorgum, milo maize, millet & hay are raised. Cotton is generally small & neglected. Much of the land is not cultivated & much that is is rented from Indians & poorly cultivated. At several stations freight cars were being loaded with watermelons and some young orchards are promising. At Cache we found Mr. Morrissey in town, hired a team & started for his place on the Forest Reserve, 12 miles north of town. Started at 3 P.M. & reached there at 7. Rained most of the way, roads slippery but not bad. Found his place in a beautiful valley on Cache Creek close to Elk Mountain.
