complaint that Winsaps are not set
ting well. Present conditions indi-
cate from 80 to 70 per cent of crop
in these counties. Roanoke and Bot
etourt counties had very little frost
damage and from so to 60 per cent
of a full apple crop is indicated
Botetourt is the second largest pro-
Queer of peaches and appears to have
an excellent crop in the commercial
orchards. Conditions in Southwest
Virginia are quite irregular, ranging
from toal failure in low orchards
to a good crop in those on high ele
vations. This district will probably
have from 25 to So per cent of full
crop.
All fruit crops in the Central, Eas
tern and Southern districts were
damaged by the freeze, the greater
part of this injury, however, was
confined to orchards in low places.
Many counties in these districts still
have very good prospects.

per cent in 1919 The production in
1920 was 13,744,O00 bushels and in
1919 the production was 8,943,0OO
bushels.
Peaches were more advanced than
apples when the freeze came, so es-
capped with less injury. Present
conditions Indicate approximately 80
per cent of a full crop, which COM
pares with the ten year average OF
SO per cent In 1919 the crop was
$4,000 bushels or "a per cent of a
full crop, and in 1920 the crop was
100000 bushels or 81 per cent of a
full crop. Many OF the large com
mercial orchards will have a full
crop, while a few have been seriously
injured. Pears, plums, cherries, and
grapes have been damaged, but still
promise a fair yield
The prospects for fruit crops are
rather spotted, that is, there may be
total failure>.in some sections and
nearly full crop in others. In
general orchards in valleys and low
lands were very hard hit, while those
on high ground and on mountain
slopes escaped with little damage.
Some varieties such as the York,
Pippin, King David and Rome Beauty
withstood the frost and freezes bet
ter than the Winesap, Benn Davis,
Staymn, Black Twig, or Grimes Col
den In many sections there was a
light bloom on Winesaps, and even
where there was no frost damage
the crop is small.
Frederick County which normally

produces 25 per cent Of the total
commercial apple crop and which was
expecting a bumper yield this year,
lost practically all varieties except
the York The early bloom was
nearly completely killed. but the de-
velopmont of late buds now promises
a fair crop, indicating an average for
the county of from % to 40 per cent
of a full crop.
Prospects in the other Valley
counties, Augusta, Rockingham, and
Shenandoah indicate from 80 to so
per cent of full crop with the best
outlook in Rockingham. The North
Piedmont district, comprising Rap
pahannock, Lcudoun, Fauquier, and
Madison suffered much less damage
than the Valley, and this district will
probably have an average crop.
Albemarle County is the third lar
gest producer of apples and will have
an excellent crop of Pippins, but
only a fair of Winsaps, which APP
pear to be setting poorly. Mountain
orchards suffered very little damage
from frost, but many orchards in
the valleys lost practically the entire
cror. This county will have from
40 to so per cent Of a full crop. The
peach crop in this country, which is
the largest producer in the State, is
very promising, however, the crop in
several large orchards was almost
destroyed

AMONG THE SIX MILLION
NATURE IN PICTURE

We do get living naturc-the true
essence of the out-of-doorS-in mo-
ton pictures as the spoken drama
can never give it to Us. And when.
in addition to that, we have real
drama, splendid Characterization,
good acting, skilled direction, exccP-
tional photography and a great story
well, then we may be glad that we
didn't live and die before the screen
took its place in life All this is called
forth by THE Prodigal Judge a
new film in which Macklyn Arbucl,lc
does some of the best work of his
career N the role OF Judge Slocum
Price. Love interest is not the dom
mating feature of the story but it IS
there, with Jean Paige as the heroine
of it. If you saw her in BLACK
Beauty" you know what she can do.
The play is based on a story by
Vaughan Kester and is principally
concerned with a politically promi-
nent and aspiring citizen of the Old
South who filings away ambition and
becomes a vagabond after his wife
has run away with another man. II
the Judge were more weakly drawn
or acted, it would not be a great pic
ture although it would be good. But
with him as he is, and with all the
rest that has been accomplished in
the way of photograph and "atmo-
sphere" it is.

Special Fruit
Damage Report

Fruit crops in Virginia suffered less
damage from the cold spell of April
21-21 than was at first thought, ac-
cording to a survey made by Henry
NJ. Taylor, of the U S. Bureau Of
Markets and Crop Estimates. 1t is
impossible to make any definite es-
innate of the production for this
year before the June drop, however,
assuming average conditions during
the growing season, reorts from
25 orchardist in all aprts of the
State indicate that Virginia will have
40 per cent of full crop, with a
possible range from 80 to so per
cent. The ten year average 1910
20 is 63 per cent; last year the pro-
duction was only per cent of a
full crop; IS per cent in 1920 and 81

Fruit prospects in other important
states as reported on April 80 are
not so good as was expected before
the cold spell In the Middle At
lantic States the damage is general
to all fruits; early apples, grapes
and peaches were severly injured.
In Ohio and New York fruit was in
jured; peaches suffered more than
apples, and in the Lake Erie district
have been mostly killed. IT. the Cen
tral States there was no great dam
age to fruit, except to peaches in Ar
kansas, and in the Pacific Northwest
there was no damage. The peach

Americanization Begins Abroad
The Council Of Jewish Women, that
organization which always achieves
such practical philanthropy, has sent
n Barnard student, Miss Elinor
Sachs. to Europe, where she is to be
the first of corps of young women
who will help to prepare the immi-
grant women for life in this country.
They will instruct the waiting emf
grants at the points of embarkatlon
and organize service that will grad
ually reach back into the small in
terror towns. They are not interested
in increasing the numbers Of those
sailing for America but in doing a
little advance Americanization work
with those already decided to come.
New Art In Vaudeville
The unique theatrical attraction Of
the year has just opened. 1t is Nakita
Balieff'S Theatre de la Chauvc-SouriS,
otherwise the Bat Theatre of Moscow,
being presented here at the 10th
Street Theatre. 1t was so much her
aided that we almost expected to he
disappointed when it should finally
arrive. But no heralding and no adj
vance descriptions could have i'm
paired the JOY of it nor the novelty.
1t completely resistS definite descrip-
ton, in fact. It is a rare and bearti-
full entertainment which combines all
the arts of the stage. Roughly
speaking it IS akin TO vaudeville
but UNNECESSARILY more than that.
Each number in itself is a miniature
The scenic and light
ing effects, the costuming, the dane
ing, the singing, and the acting, are
all the products OF true art, and be-
yond this the creation of the acts
is the work of a genius.
For anyone who thinks of all Russian
art as being grim and sad, there is a
radiant awakening at the 49th Street
Theatre.

most important national gatherings
OF the decade. National Beard head
quarters here in New York are teem-

Good Stories Make Good Plays
Here is another good writer who
demonstrates that good stories are
the finest possible foundation for
good motion picture plays. Grand
Larceny" Il new film production based
on 4 story by Albert Payson Terhune,
is a story of the eternal triangle and
yet II IS as eneCtlVe IN tniS prcSehta-
ton as though it were an entirely
new idea. That is because the orig
inal story was exceedingly we'll
written and its adaptation to the
screen has been equally skillfully
done. Claire Windsor, a newcomer to
the Goldwyn organization, plays the
leading role dramatically and appeal
ingly, never vcrging on the melodra- !
matte and never losing her grip upon
the audiences interest. Others in the
cast are Elliot Dexter, Lowell Sher- ;
man. Roy Atwell. Richard Tucker, a.,
Tom Gallery and John Cesar. 1t is
one of the pictures which deserve the
same notice that a good, new produc- ;
ton on the speaking stage should
have. y

NEW CLUES in
MURDER CASE

New Brunswick, N. j., Sept. 25.-
Several clues were found today by
detectives Investigating the double
shooting Of the Rev. Edward Wheeler
Hall, rector Of the Church of st. John
the Evangelist, and Mrs. James Mills,
wife Of the sexton, to support the
new theory that the couple intended
to elope to the Orient.
The fate which the rector and the
leader of his choir shared, the pros
ecutor pointed out, might have been
FASTENED by rumors which seemed to
have been circulated freely among
certain members of the congregation
that the plans of the two to leave
New Brunswick. had reached a stage
Of action.
All his papers and effects had been
placed in such order by the order Of
the slain rector detectives said they
learned, that the work Of the pas
torate could be undertaken by sue
cessor with the least possible diff
ficulty. The books of the church and
all funds, mission and charitable
work were left in a condition, it was
said, that would have enabled a sue
cessor easily to proceed with the rec
tors duties.
The first inkling received by the
authorities of an intended elopement
came when Prosecutor Stricken, of
Middlesex was informed that a rela-
live of Mrs. Mills had letter from
her in which she herself told in de-
tail of her plans to, elope to Japan
with Mr.. Hail.
Mr.. Mills, who has been fire.
quently questioned by the detectives
of both Middlesex and Somerset
counties regarding all details of the
case, threw added light on the theory
of elopement when re recounted the
conversation which, he now says
took place between himself and Mrs
Hall on Friday morning, September
is, on the steps of the church after
the two say they had spent the night
looking for their mates.
The dialogue follows:
"Is anyone sick in your fanily?'
asked Mrs. Hall.
NO." replied Mills.

Detectives are seeking a woman,
who, while attending the funeral
services of Mr.. Hall, is reported to
have remarked in an audible tone to
her neighbor:
"Well, they are carrying him out OF
the church now. They didn't get to
Japan after all"

CRIME TOLD By
INJURED YOUTH

Greer, ille, Sept. 25.-"We find that
Allander Sudduth and Thomas d.
Scruggs came to their death at the
hands of William A. Howard, de-
ceased" vas the verdict returned by
the coroner's jury investigating the
CLASSY Mountain triple tragedy to-
day, and Early Harrison, held in con-
nection With the shooting, was re-
leased Immediately after the inquest
and returned to his home near Classy
Mountain.
Dallas Scruggs, ten year old son
of Thomas Scruggs, who has been
in the hospital recovering from an
ugly wound in his shoulder received
during the shooting, was the princi-
pal witness placed on the stand to-
day and was the only one with the
exception of l.. L. Howard, who was
one of the first persons to arrive at
the scene of the shooting.
Taking his seat near Coroner Ar
thur Vaughn and facing the group
of strangers, the boy shyly told an
incoherent story of the affair as he
remember cd it, his voice breaking and
his muscles twitching little at the
mention of his fathers death. ~
Dressed in new clothing from head
to foot which had been bought by
Coroner Vaughn during the morning
from funds contributed by some SYM
pathetic strangers who had come to
know the lad, young Scruggs sat
quietly in the straight chair and with
one suspender pulled over the should
ar which had been pierced by the bull
let, answered questions directed to
him. His story at best was uncertain
and different in several material
points from the account given in his
affidavit.
