ter Than in Years.
HoGANsvILLE, GA, Aug. 19.-Cater-
pillars are reported in most of the farms
around here. This is only the second
crop of them, but the third is the most
destructive. The worms of the third
estate Will be here in two to four weeks,
and will do great damage to cotton.
This is a month earlier than we
have ever had them before, and
the damage will be greater to the cotton
crops. We never had better outlook for
cotton crop than now, but the cater
pillar will cut 1t off 20 to 80 per cent. The
weed is very thrifty and tender, and the
worms feed on it readily. Corn
crops are the best that we have had
since the war. Upland corn is
said by old planters to be better than has
been made before in forty years. With a
good corn crop and tolerably good crop
of cotton. which is now beyond danger
from caterpillars, Troup county will be
able to weather the storm and come out on
top yet.
Prohibition went into effect yesterday
and Troup county people are now dry.
