TERRITORIAL
PRODUCTIONS


1t would be well for those who think
OF the Indian Territory as an uncul
tivated country to study the report o.
the Agricultural Department on the
production Of the principal crops Of
the United States for the calendar
gear ending December 81, 1904, says
the Muskogee Phoenix. The people
Of the two territories could also profit
by an examination Of the figures con-
tanned in the report and a comparison
OF the crops raised here with those
raised in Oklahoma. The Indian Ter
ritory does not suffer in the least in
such comparison.
