Extract of letter from an officer of the ar
my to his friend in WINCHESTER, dated
New Orleans, March II, 1921.
The officers here are all 10 ho; water. We
are expecting TO hear of the reduction Of The
army 10 5000. Should that event take
place, il will displace more than half Of The
officers of the line. Many Of the staff will
be retained as captains.
New Orleans is much reduced. Property
has deprecated about fifty per cent. within
two years, and is still on The decline. The
produce OF this country is unusually low,
excepting the article Of cotton. Sugar Dc,
molasses 1a cts. tobacco 81 cts. The
sugar planters have poor prospect. Cot
ton. is by far the best article. being much
more certain crop, and not requiring more
than half the capital to any given number OF
acres. Tobacco is but an Indifferent arti-
Gle, requiring much labor in the cultivation
and preservation, and commanding but an
Indifferent price. All those who emigrste
to this country will do well 10 turn their
whole attention to the cultivation of cotton.
