FEAR CATERPILLAR PEST.
Cotton Crop May Be Materially Re
duced by RaVaqes.

duced by RaVaqes.
Albany, Ga, Sept 12-There is not
the least doubt that caterpillar raw
ages in this whole section of the state
are going to be responsible for ma
erlal reduction of the cotton yield for
the season of 1904
Careful inquiry throughout this and
adjoining counties, coupled with adj
vices from all over southwest Geor-
gia, indicate that the pest is steadily
multiplying.
During the last few days farmers
have brought to Albany stalks of cot
ton that had been entirely denuded of
foliage, leaving the unmatured bolls
fully exposed to the sun. The chief
damage Is expected to result little
later when, after having stripped the
plants of leaves, the caterpillars will
attack the tender husk which forms
at the base of the young bolls and
without which the bolls never mature
One Of the largest planters of Lee
county, who was in Albany today,
stated that in the neighborhood in
which his farms are located not a
field has escaped the pest, and that
within a month the cotton fields in
which foliage remained would be rare.
This does not, of course, tame into ac.
count those fields where the caterpiI.
lars have been fought with poisonous
compounds.
Cotton is now opening rapidly. The
wagon receipts of this market are
expected to reach 1000 bales tomor.
row More than 500 were received
last Saturday.

Philippine Customs Revenue.

Washington, Sept. 1.-THE bureau
of insular affairs Of the war depart.
ment has prepared Tor publication a
comparative statement showing the
customs revenues in the Philippine
archipelago, for the first FIVE months
of 1903, as compared with the same
period In previous years. For the
fve months ended May 13, 1903, the
customs revenue were $3,759,8 For
the same period In 1902, $3,539, 1865. A
steady increase In the customs collec.
tioas is noted and successive year of
American occupation has brought forth
a corresponding growth of these rev.
enues
