Caterpillars Damage Cotton.
Reports of damage to young cotton
by swarms of caterpillars, or army
worms, are being received here from
various sections of Barnwell County.
According to these reports, field's of
flourishing plants are being stripped
of their foliage in a few hours’ time.
It is not believed that old cotton will
suffer to any great extent, as it is
too far advanced, but the damage to
the late crop cannot be estimated at
this time.
