QUANAH,TEXAS
Kind friends of Murray county,
I am located one and one-half
miles ffOIll U tOWIl about the size
11 ,.f n,>lf 1 'uuuu, ( , t , < via. and am well
pleased: and will say ' this is a
tine country.
The soi i ; g a8 r i ck as the most
fertile bottom lands in Murray
and will produce almost anything
we plant. The farmers here
raise cotton‘ corn, milo maize,
kaffir corn, sorghum cane and
millet, and wheat and oats.
Wheat makes from ten to thirty
bushels per acre and oats from
forty to one hundred bushels.
1 here is not any use for me to
tell you how much one man can
cultivate here lor you wouldn’t
believe it. 1 intend to break
and put in two hundred acres
next year, with my own labor
1 made eighteen large hales of
cotton last year without hiring
any work done.
My conclusion, is that if the
renters of that country could
get out here and put forth
honest efforts, the result would
be prosperity. Many of them
would get homes in this new,
rich country.
Now don’t think of this as a
lonely, prairie country, but as a
country where there are lots of
Christian people to neighbor with
and a country where l believe
that God intended that the hon¬
est tiller of the soil should have
prosperity.
Now I know something of the
questions that naturally arise in
the minds of the thinking people
of Murray, but will not try to
answer them now.
