FARM PRACTICE IN THE CULTIVATION OP COTTON. 



47 



SURVEY IN JOHNSTON COUNTY, OKLA. 



Jolmston County is located in the south-central part of Oklahoma 

 and is a part of the area which comprised the Indian Territory. 

 The tillage records for this area (Table XXIII) were taken near 

 Tishomingo. 



The prevailing soil is a sand or clay loam with a heavier loam 

 subsoil. The topography of this area is irregular. Some parts are 

 very rolling or hilly and are drained by surface ditches. In other 

 parts of the county there are broad, gently rolling prairie areas 

 which require no drainage.

 farms; as, l=first working or cultivation, 2=second working or cultivation, etc.]
