Winston-Salem, Special.
Abun
dance of the "green bug," or grain
.'aphids, in this section, and the disss
troug effect it has on grain fields, ig
well known to' the formers of this vi
cinity. The birds are known to bene
fit the farmer in many other' ways,
but their aphid-eating habits have re-
cently bccntlie..aubjcct of special in
vestigation. A representative of the
Biological Snxyey -jbf .the - United
States Department of Agriculture has
studied- the question on the lands of
O. W, Hinshaw, of this city.. Some
what over 3,000 smallhirds were pres
ent every day on about 100 acres of
wheat and rye, and on some days the
number ran up to from 8,000 to .1,000.
So far as known, abaut nine-tenths of
the birds were ating aphids, and some
had taken 500 or more at single meal J
These ineccts are very soft and easily
digested,' and many meals re requir
ed each day. . It' is claimed that the
birds destroy an incalculable number
of aphids per day, and the fanners
are being urged to encourage and pro
tect them. . ,

Message Asking for a Revision of the Philippine
Tariff to Extend the Principle of a Protective
Tariff for Its Industries Sent to Congress.
t, Washington, Special. The Presi
dent Thursday sent to Congress a
special message regarding-the Philip
pine tariff . This message transmits
recommendations by the Secretary of
War for a revision of the Philip
pine tariff so as to permit as much
oastoms revenue as possible for the
islands and at the same time to ex-
tend to the islands the principle of
a protective tariff for its industries.
Under the conditions which will arise
from the enactment of the tariff bill
pending in Congress, which provides
under certain conditions for free
trade between the Philippines and the
United States,1 the revenues of the
islands will be considerably affected,
and numerous protests have been re
ceived here on this acount.
The message was submitted to both
houses of Congress shortly after they
convened. Generally speaking the bill
submitted by the" President makes a
slight increase in the rates of duty
now provided in the Philippine tariff,
but its framers say its 'tendency is to
insure as far as practicable the bene
fit of the Philippine market for
American manufactures and products.
The President's Message. .
The President's message follows:
"To the Senate and House of Repre
sentatives: -
"I transmit herewith a communica
tion from the Secrttary of War, en
:Iosing' one from - the chief of the
bureau of insular affairs, in which
is transmitted a proposed tarrff - re

Philippine tariff, simplifies it and
makes it conform as nearly aa poa
siblp to the regulations of the cus
toms laws of the United States, es
pecially with respect to packing and ..
packages. ' The : present Philippine
regulations have been , cuinbersome
and difficult for American 'merchants ,
and exporters to comply With. , Jta ,
purpose is to meet the new conditions
that will arise under the section of
the pending United States tariff bill, :
which provides, with certain limita- .
tions, for free v trade " between the ;
United States and the Islands. It is
drawn with a view to preserving tha
islands as much customs revenue aa .
possible, and to protect in a reason-
able measure those industries which
now exist in the islands.
' ' The bill, now transmitted, has '
been drawn by a board of tariff ex-'
perts, of which the insular collector -of
customs, Col. George R. Colton,
was the president. The board held
a great many open meetings ,?n
Manila, and conferred fully with rep
resentatives of all business interests
in the Philippine Islands. .' It is of
great importance to the welfare of
the islands." - " :
"The bill should be passed at the
same time with the pending Payne -bill,
with special reference to the pro-'-visions
of which it was proposed. .
"I 'respectfully "recommend th.it
this bill be enacted at . the present
session of Congress as one incidental .
to, und required by, tre passage of thr
Payne, bill Z-i ,P'.!:' ; s.SV -.'
