ALFALFA EXPERTS
TO give LECTURES |. /. (
Will Be Feature Of Virginia $
Exhibit at Coming State
Fair.
NEW BUILDING AT cATAWBA
Capacity Increased This Week.
Officers Relieved From
Horse Hire.

/ Quite q novel feature to add to the
value OF the state Fair to farmers has
been devised by Commissioner George
w. Koiner, OF the Department Of Agrt-
culture. This is to be series OF lee
lures on alfalfa growing by an expert
who has done 1t and who is raising a.
fortune every year.
For the first time in the history OF
Virginia State Fairs. the Department
OF Agriculture will have an exhibit OF
Its own. Mr.. koiner has rented an
exhibition space twenty by forty feet.
This Will not admit OF q large orlvery va
ried exhibit. but 1t will be utilized, so
far as possible. in displays OF the pro-
ducts OF the state, with literature on
Virginia and her possibilities.
scotch the West.
This Is to be done partly to neutral-
lie the efforts which are expected to
be put forth by Western railroads to
attract settlers to the territory west
OF the Mississippi. They will, 1T is
understood, have representatives on
the grounds and Will give away their
advertising matter. Mr.. Koiner pre-
fers that the live people stay at home
and develop the possibilities of their
own State.
The lectures on alfalfa growing VIII
be delivered by H. Zimpelmann. mama
ger Of the big alfalfa farm In king
George county. He will speak every
day at hours to be advertised later,
will answer any questions which may
be asked him and give any Information
desired.
Mr.. Koiner believes that an actual
demonstration of resllts accomplished
will be valuable lesson. The depart-
ments bulletin on alfalfa will be dis
tributed, and samples OF the hay Will
l be on hand. Better than all. the man
who bought land for $40 an acre and
is now raising 500 worth OF nay an
acre a year from it will tell how he
did 1t.
