CAPTAIN JACKS
ALFALFA FARM
CoMMTssIoNER KoINER REPORTS
WONDERFUL GROWTH OF HAY
IN KING GEORGE COUNTY.

Commissioner Koiner has returned
from visit to Capt Jacks big alfalfa
farm In King George county. The com
missioner is greatly pleased with the
success that has been made In growing
alfalfa there He drove all over the
800 acres OF growing alfalfa and the
ten acre experiment plots that have
been made there by the owner.
Mr.. Zimpelmann, the superint ndent
Is a well-informed man and with large
experience. Is making this farm bet
ter every year. He Is draining out the
low spots where alfalfa has refused to
grow and reseeding and putting on
more fertilizer and lime where the plant
shows weakness, thus making a uni
form stand and growth.
The Commissioner brought back with
him samples of the frst sowing. which
Is four years old now. He says there
are nifty or more acres that viii make
~ tons per acre at first cutting and
X the four cuttings make the same
yield. 1t will make ten tons to the acre
and not ton has been sold for Less
than $4,000 to $500 per ton. This
would give an income Of $500 per acre.
Mr.. zimpelmann has set his goal to
grow II he can 1000 acres of alfalfa
and yield Of 10 tons per acre. He
may not reach this high mark, but he
will get II. the Commissioner Is sure. on
This sucesssful demonstration is
worth hundreds OF thousands OF dol
lars TO Virginia because It has proven
what can be done in growing this most
profitable crop to our Virginia farmers.
This farm OF Capt Jacks lis not by any
means the best alfalfa land In tn .
State, There are hundreds of thous-
ands of acres OF much better land for
this crop
This ane crop OF 'alfuifa has been
grown In spite OF one of the hardest
spring droughts this State has had for
long time. The dry weather has in
Jured fall seeding of alfalfa last year
and some of this Mr.. Zimpelmann Will
rcseed. The former can afford 10 con-
tinue the fight for a good stand from
years to year until ne gets the conds
lions right because the frst cutting
Will pay back all OF hts expenses.

FRANKLIN NOTE
NOT RECEIVED
PROTEST ON MARCH PRIMARY
ELECTION WAS LOST
IN NAIL.

NO Official notice has ever been re-
ceived by State Chairman Ellyson re-
garding any objections to the pri-
mary election held In Franklin county
March II.
1t is claimed that q protest was
sent to Rorer A. James, chairman
of the Fifth District committee, adj
dressed to Mr.. James at Murphy's
Hotel. The letter has never come to
light and Mr.. Ellyson says he knows
nothing about it. The letter charges
that Republicans to the number OF
800 were allowed to vote and also
says that the March primary was held
illegally. in that IT Is claimed that
the primary could not have been held
before May 6. as all who had paid
capitation taxes up to that date were
entitled to vote.
The letter of complaint was sign
ed by G. w. b. Hale and Rev. c. l.
Ross.

FIND NO TRACE
Of MISSING MAN
DETECTIVES AND OPERATIVES
UP IN THE AIR IN GREGORY
HUNT.

Admitting their inability to unearth
a clew which may lead to the discovery
Of the whereabouts of Louis L. Greg
Dry. who Is being sought for the theft
of about $4,000 from the Atlantic
Coast Line Railway Company detec-
tives on the trail of the fugitive on
Friday morning focused their investi-
CATION on the theory that Gregory did
not leave Richmond by train but de-
parted from the city in an automo-
bile,
Their theory is without substantial
foundation and n based merely on con-
lecture resulting from an intimate
knowledge of the case. Inquiry among
trainmen at the railway depots has
elected the information that Gregory
tons even though he left Richmond
by train.
Knowing well that his face was ia
miliar TO nearly all railroad employees
In the city and fearing to run the
chance of being seen, detective say
Gregory would have chosen any route
of departure In preference TO the rail-
roads. They reason that he most like
ly drove in a machine to some point
several miles from the city and then
boarded a train at way station
Following this theory, the detectives
are endeavoring to learn in whose ma
chine Gregory departed and II he Was
alone or accompanied by some on In
whom he might place confidence. 1t Is
more than likely he had his destination
in mind before he left this city and to
a friend in whom he could place trust
he might have confided in order that
he might communicate with the friend
and kept in touch with developments
in Richmond.
Detectives in Baltimore searching
for Gregory under the direction OF
Marshall Farnan at :. the request Of
Chief of PolEe Werner have been
unable to find trace of the fugitive
and the local authorities have almost
abandoned the hope that he will be
found in the Monumental City. The
New York and other big cities have
also been unable to find a clew to the
mans whereabouts.
One hundred and nifty circulars
bearing a minute description OF Greg
DRY with a brief history OF the theft
for which he u wanted, and the re-
quest that he be arrested on sight
will be mailed from local headquarters
Friday afternoon to the police heads
of all the big cities In this country,
Canada and probably In Mexico.
All ports on the Atlantic coast are
being watched by the police In the
city in which they are located. and II
Is not believed likely that Gregory
can escape across the seas. He haa
rela tives In other cities to whom he
might apply for aid in time OF trou-
BILE and the movements of these per-
sons are also being observed.
The fact that the police have been
unable to obtain a photograph of
Gregory works against them In their
search. In sending out circulars for
fugitives II Is customary to place the
photograph on the circular to make
Identification more simple. but the
circulars describing Gregory will not
bear his likeness.
