PROTEGES WILL MAKE $4,000
THIS YEAR.

Commissioner of Agriculture Koiner,
who addressed big meeting of farm
ers at Fredericksburg Saturday,
brought back to Richmond with him
a sample of the fine crop of alfalfa
that A. H. Judy is raising this year
on his big farm near that city. Mr..
Judy had 1875 acres in this profitable,
forage crop from which he will realize
about $4,000 The remaining seven
ty-five acres Of his farm are planted In
crimson clover and this will be turn
ed under at the end of the season and
planted in alfalfa, the clover furnish
ing the ideal fertilizer for the alfalfa.
and next season Mr.. Judy will have
an alfalfa crop that will net him some
thing like $4,000.
|, Mr.. Judy La one Of the number OF
Western farmers whom Commissioner
Koiner persuaded to come to Virginia
Mr.. Koiner took Mr.. Judy out to see
the 5o0-acre alfalfa farm of Captain
Jack-another of his Western pro-
teges-on which he reaped small
fortune last season, and Mr.. Judy de-
cided that alfalfa was the crop foI
him, and taking up one OF the mos'
compromising pieces of land In the
Fredericksburg section he has de-
veloped It,. by scientific management
into a gold mine. Captain Jack has
made an Independent fortune on his
| alfalfa in his Gt ven years residence
! in the State, and yet 1t has not beer
many years ago that Virginia farmers
1 declared that this profitable forage
| CROP would not grow in the State.
/ Through the medium of his bulletins
/ and the agricultural institutes Com
| missioner Koiner has shown the farm
ers that not only can alfalfa be pro-
duced to perfection In Virginia, but
that as q money-making crop 1t beats
either apIe-growing or trucking.

VIRGINIA OYSTER
OUTPUT DOUBLES

IRvINGTON. VA. May 5.--That
the Virginia oyster supply, far from
being depleted, has increased, is evil
dent from the report of the commits
sion of fisheries of Virginia. The out
put in 1a07-0s was less than six mil
lion bushels, while in i911-12. 1t had
risen to IL million bushels Notwith-
standing the fact that many modern
appliances for the taking of oysters
have been introduced, the report states
that never before in the history OF the
fisheries was such abundance of she'll
fish seen as in the last year.

terday began a weeks engagement at

Hiram was really funnier away
from the cabaret than at 1t. but that
scarcely matters great deal since
