FROM THE SUNNY SOUTH
This is" a letter from the Sun-
ny South written by Gus Screws
the Oklahoma deserter I feel
like it is my duty to tell the
truth to those I have left be-
hind There was quite a few
that I promised to write to and
to save lots of time I will let the
Booster have it There are peo-
" pie here just like there is there
some coming and some going
I am well pleased with the
country for they can raise any
thing in the world here They
will make this year on an aver-
age of one bale of cotton per
acre 30 to 40 bushels of corn
and from 200 to 400 bushels of
potatoes to the acre Work is
plentiful here and these people
dont want to - see lazy jeople
come here so if anyone has any
idea of coming down here it
would be advisable for them to
come and see for themselves and
then they would be satisfied
There are lots of good things
here and lots of bad things
Landis from $40 to $100 per
acre They have land here in
my estimation you cannot pay
what it is worth and if any one
wishes to invest in a good coun-
try this is the garden spot of
the world' The markets here
are better on an average than
they are there and if a man
wants to make money he will
sure have to work I have been
making an effort to get my share
of both since I have been here
-There are are all kinds of
game and wild animals here It
is only fifteen miles to the Gulf
of Mexico If anyone wants to
ask any questions I will answer
all letters I hope that every
one in that country can read
this letter for expect there are
some that are anxious to know
where I am But I will never
forget the kind hearted people
in good old Oklahoma
