Grain Cotton, Grasses, Fruits and Vegetables.
 All the grains and grasses that grow in Illinois and Iowa grow here. Cotton has been the main crop in this country, as it has been all over the south, and for that reason the other
 interests have been neglected. Clover, timothy, blue grass, millet, red top and similar grasses grow excellently, from two to three crops being har- vested during some seasons It is des tined to become a land of meadows, and to prove as fine stock country as Tennessee and Kentucky.
 Where trees do not grow naturally, there is something lacking in the soil and climate necessary to their growth, and no artificial means will succeed in their successful production. They are natural productions and Polk county and all this region of country is natural garden and orchard wild fruits growing in great variety and profusion everywhere
 The elevation, soil and climate are such as to permanently establish it as peach and grape country. Each grow to large size, possessing fine form and delicious flavor.
 Wild grapes grow everywhere in the woods and one variety of wild grape is found here that is not known any where else. It. is of a white color, and is peculiar to this region, being known as the mountain grape, It IS about the size of the Concord and is of most rich and delicious character. Wine is extensively produced here and the time is coming when it will become as famous for it's vineyards and the quality of it's wines as Southern France.
 Straw berries, raspberries, dewber- ries, gooseberries, black kberries and huckleberries grow wild and literally line the roadsides and fence corners. Persimmons, sarvice berries, mulber ries, wild plums, wild cherries, also bear regularly and bountifully.

 On the extreme north side of the county there runs from west to east in almost straight course the Fourche mountains, high regular chain which walls the county in as securely as If it were builded like the ancients walled in their cities There are however, gaps and passes through which course streams.
 The Kiamish mountains in the southwestern part of the county are a rugged, jutting, protruding range which hang over the edge of the coun- ty from the Indian Territory.
 In the southeastern part of the coun- ty is the Cossatot range which is said to be fabulonsly rich in minerals. In this range there are many tall distinct peaks which tower above the plains
