reflected the origin OF their inhRbit-

neighborhoods displayed northern
traits. Gradually these two elements
have merged. The cotton field began
to creep north TO Guthrie, then passed
Guthrie to Perry, and now it is almost
TO the Kansas State line. Northern
methods Of farming and economy have
crept down past Oklahoma City to the
southernmost limits OF the territory.
The Oklahoma character has been

1t does not seem to be IN the southener

that Oklahoma has raised the most
