LETTER FROM OKLAHOMA.

To THE EDITOR OF THE JOURNAL: We are
all WELL We had a fine shower today. 1t has
been splendid season, with no bad storms,
no thunder to speak of, and no wind to do any
damage. 1t has been clear and hot, but cool at
night. AS thousands eat sweet potatoes will
tell you how they are grown. In the spring
the sprouts grow long and they are pulled off
and planted, and when they come up the vines
run all over the ground. The leaf looks like
that of pond lily leaf and the potatoes grow
like carrots, straight down. They grow finely
here and SO does every thing. How l would
like to see you all. My best wishes to all.
