manuscripts the full points appear

signs (commata and cola) in his trans.

English and Irish manuscripts the com.

by one and sometimes two or more fpn

To the Fruit Growers of the Innian
Territory.

No more important question to-
day for those establishing homes in
the Indian Territory to decide is the
fruit question. Horticulture has not
been a very interesting subject to
many people, and now they are at tt
loss to know how to buy, or what 10
buy, or who to buy from. 1t is of
vital Importance to buy good trees,
stock that is propogated to bear
fruit, and not merely to sell. 1t is
not possible to detect all the defects
In worthless trees until they either
bear fruit, or refuse to bear at all
then it is a costly experiment if
failure. and it takes so long to cor
rect it. You can be morally GER
tain of the quality of your fruit if
you buy them from men who have
established areputation in the hor-
tlcultural world, for he must suffer
only in greater degree if you suffer
if he sells you worthless trees.
The time is past when scientific
horticulturist remain in obscurity
Obscure nursery men and tree deal
ers have imposed upon the credulity
Of the people, and sold them worth
ess stuff at exorbitant prices, until
many thlnE there are no honest nur-
erymen or salesmen. The well in.
ormed do not think so and are bet
er prepared 20 protect themselves.
t is not the fact that you have |
fought your trees or paid high
'rices for them. or what was told l
ou by the man who sold them to 0
GU, nor how many times he prom s.
'ed to replace them for you if they 81
id not prove the value of the tree. II
ut it is the fruit they bear. Good
'uit can only be grown on good IL
ees. 1t is a laudahle ambition ex- IL
ressed by every buyer of trees, u
lat he wants the best for his own Ii
mily use. 81
Now, if he wants the best he can c'
It the best. How? Buy from men al
at you know to be reliable and M
mpetent to select such varieties ns
are adapted to your soil and cli- 10
ite and purposes. If you want a Ia
lrket orchard you need a differ &c
t variety of fruits from what you Ii
'uld want for family use. If ycu pI
buying from competent parties Isl
10 are honest and have reputation
fair dealings, then ask them TO
ist in the selection, or send your
ler through the statesmen to the 6ri

The Express is constantly get
ting letters of inquiry about this
country, and asking all kinds Of
questions, as "Will you kindly
inform me if there is any Indiar
lands to be leased cheap for stocl
raising, or any other land"
Another asks about mining.
Another wants to know about
town property, titles, etc. The
questions are pretty tough, and
we were unable to answer, but we
answered SO far as able.
Grazing lands may be had here
D. easonable terms. The grasses
are the finest that grow, being
mostly mesquite and gramma, ur-
on which stock subsist the year
round,withont other feed, although
it is always proyident to supply
feed for extraordinary weather,
and extreme cases.
Land can not be bought here at
any price, but can be leased for
farming at about the same rates
demanded in the states, one-third
of the crop, or case rent 81 to
So per acre. The reason no land |
can be bought is that the whole of
the Chickasaw nation land belongs
to the tribeof Indians in common,
and cannot be sold at any price.
This condition will be overcome in
a few years. The land will be
divided among the Indians and
