is about the only thing raised here.
Fruit and vegetables do not essm to
want to grow here. We get most of
our fruit and vegetables either from
California or Sc. Louis. The apple and
peach which grow here are very small.
and do not taste like the California
peach or apple. We have TO pay i've

one good to see q wood hauler eating an
apple, he does % much enjoy Il.
A great many people who have not
lived here and don't know the country
think Texas is a paradise. but they
would think different IL they we're here
q few years, as have been. Texas is Q
black mans country, and they seem to
enjoy living in it. In summer time they
live on vatermelons and a little cora
bread. They will have watermelon
morning, noon and night, and live and
vsrk on il. On the hottest day they
can work in the sun when Q white mAn

idea. is not for a white man to live In.
