The south land is a wonderful land. but the roads are poor Cotton growing there is great indus try. The cotton plant looks like miniature maple tree. growing any where from to 20 feet high, and a bale of cotton, weighing 500 pounds, is a good load for a pair of mules over their roads. If the roads were good 10 bales could be taken. The southern people are very hospitable Fried chick en three times a day for nine weeks was Mir. Ladd's experience while he remained there. The southernrs don't do anything that they can put off for a year or two. Roads are poor in the west and far west, but in California
