Ter. dated the 9th, they say that. except In q
portion of the State; forty miles above Selma,
through which the" Selma, Rome and Dalton
Railroad passes, the caterpillars lave spread
over all that section during the past ten days
to an alarming extent, stripping the leaves
entirely.trom the stalk and destroying the
forms or sqnares, that is-the inaipient bolls.

says that the crop reports are less favorable
on account of the rust and drought. It has

The weather during the above mentioned
period was very wet during the first halt, aid
excessively hot and dry In the latler part, ana
as compared with same period last year was
less favorable In the middle and western por-
tons of the Slate, and more favorable In the
eastern and northern. The army worm has
done considerable damage In all the middle
and western counties; some injury, but not
excessive, in tina eastern, and tut little dam
age, If any, In the northern. The bottom crop |
on the early cotton Is stair to good" on the
late the frultage Is p0or, and ia maturing rap

The production per acre, taking the average |
of the Stare, Is estimated at about the same |
as last year; probably a slight increase. Some
c~ounties will make leas, and others much
more.
The caterplllars have stripped the Alabama
cotton as bare as frost. Sons cotton fields
said. to be 30 oyerrun that the worm could be
lRdled up In burrows by handfuls. Such null
utades caused terrible alarm at first. because
they were eating the halE-grown bolls; but
more hopeful. They stiil insist that Without
high prices the crop will not pay the cost Of
producing. It Ia estimated that the crop Is
about ten per cent. below the yield of last
year.
