Progress and Development
OF AGRICULTURE
In Oklahoma. 81

Oklahoma's agricultural history
dates from the settlement Of the coun-
Try in April, 1889 though the squaw
patches and the farms which had
opened up in connection with the In
dian agencies and mission stations had
Thoroughly demonstrated the fact that
the region was one Of great agricul-
tural possibilities. But, notwithstand-
ing the success Of such Insignificant
and sporadic efforts, the agriculture
of Oklahoma was largely in the nature
Of an experiment not only to the pi-
oneers Of 'S9 but also to those who
carle in at the successive openings by
which other portions of Oklahoma
were settled. The character and va
ration of the soil the variety and
economic value of the native plants
and grasses, the climate, especially
with regard to the amount and season
able distribution OF raiufall-all of
these presente1 conditions that We're
new and not understood by the men
who came to turn the first burrows in
the virgin soil of oklahoma.
Pioneers Are PROSPEROUS.
Il has sometimes been asserted that
the FIRST comers were ne'er do wells,
who. haviag failed elsewhere, were un-
equal to the task Of coping with con.
ditions even in Oklahoma and that.
having ayailed themselves of the spec
ulatiye opportunity presented in the
opening of new lands, they hung on fol
a few years and then dr!fted away
while their places we're eventually
taken by the immigration Of more
aggressive and progressive class o.
farmers. While In many instances
this may be true yet the fact remain
that many Of the original homesteader
are numbered among the territory
most progressive and prosperous farm
ers today
Early day agricultural operations 81
