We found the roads in a very good condition, considering the nature of the country we had to go over. When we reached the place we found a new girl baby, weighing thirteen pounds. The doctor made the mother as comfortable as possible and after partaking of a good dinner started on our return trip, reaching home at 5 o'clock p.m. While there he gave me a bunch of alfalfa for exhibition, measuring over five feet in length and a bunch of native grass that measures seven feet which were raised on his place, on Elk creek. There is not much farming land in that immediate neighborhood, but what little there is is remarkably productive.
