L. B. Josserand Writes About Conditions in Oklahoma.

L. B. Josserand writes as follows from Durant, Okla., to which plate he removed a year ago: “I herewith enclose money order for the Semi-Weekly Republican for the ensuing year. We are all enjoying good health and our share of prosperity in Bryan county, Oklahoma. We have been having an*abundance of rain and we feel assured of a bumper crop of everything. The past week wound up the strawberry harvest. The acreage hereabouts was about 200, of which we had a part. About 300 berry pickers were required every day for four weeks. “Oats will do to harvest the first week in June and wheat the last of this week. Corn is being laid by, most of it being waist high. Cotton is usually a good stand and looks well. Fruit, surch as peaches, pears, apples and plums, of which there are numerous large orchards, are loaded with the choisest kinds of fruit and the early peaches are juiJt now getting ripe. Dewberries and blackberries are also ripe. We are well pleased with this part'of Oklahoma and think we have come to stay.”
