DRAINAGE 5OCETY
PLANS CONVENTION
MINNESOTA STATE ASSOCIATION
HOLDS MEETING AT MORRIS
TO MAKE ARRANGEMENTS.
GATHERING AFTER HOLIDAYS
Organization to Undertake Vast
Amount of Educational Work and
Make Campaign for Favorable
Legislation.

Morris. The directors of the Min
nesota State Drainage association met
at the agricultural school here to dis
cuss the general purposes of the or.
ganization AMI to arrange for state
drainage meeting to be held in ST.
Paul after the holidays.
This organization had it's inception
at the last corn and alfalfa exposi-
ton at Ortonville, when drainage
problems were discussed, and it was
shown that there was vast amount
of educational work to be done az well
as many technical and legislative prob
lens to be solved.
R. D. Smith of Benson is president,
and ]. D. Stewart of ST. Paul is Sec
rotary of the association. The direc-
tors are: F. w. Murphy, Wheaton; N.
D. March, Litchfield; A. B. Kaercher,
Ortonville; E. ]. Jones, Morris; Fred
Hodgson, Fergus Falls, and r. D.
Smith, Benson.
This meeting will be the first which
has been held since the corn show,
and much preliminary work remains
to be done The main business is to
arrange for making the state meeting
at st. Paul the greatest possible sue
cess, by enlisting the support of all
who are interested in drainage
throughout the whole state.

testimony relating to facts. The
church seeks to force payment of a

the erection of new church. Kropp
says mistake was made In the bid
and refused to enter into written
contract after being awarded the work.
The jury found, first, that contract
had been entered into; second, that
Kropp made an honest mistake with
out negligence; third, that the church
committee did not know of the mis-
take when the bids were opened. The
court will now pass on the law in the

cording to the number of sheep they
possess.
The cheese produced is somewhat
bitter in taste and not unlike eve
milk cheese, which at one time was
produced so largely in the south OF
Scotland.
The national customs of rural Ser
bia are very quaint. The marriage
ceremonies, for example, are Of the
most elaborate character; the bride is
selected by the parents of the bride
groom, and this is looked upon as be-
ing quite in the natural order of hui
man affairs; but all the ceremonies in
connection with marriage are of the
most elaborate and, for that matter.
costly character
Christmas ceremonies also are very
elaborate and are reminiscent of Pa
gan rites. One of the customs Is to
cut down tree in the forest, and in
falling it must lie to the east. In
every household such a tree is cut
into three portions, and is looked upon
as being sacred and not to be touched.
There is much throwing of wheat,
which has certain symbolic signifi-
canoe, and the log is then placed on
the fire, while, at the same time, the
inevitable pig is roasted for feast.
The ceremonies continue during
Christmas day, which is given up to
feasting, mingled with religious ex-
hortations, and only come to an end
when the night is far advanced.
People Are Superstitious.
AS a nation the Serbians are ex-
tremely superstitious, and this fea-
ture runs through the whole of their
national customs, whether it is in the
laying out of house or in the prepa-
ration for death; but the Serbian
farmer does not fear death, as he
usually prepares the boards for his
own coffin and keeps them in readi-
ness in his house.
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1915-12-24

In the country villages it is the GUS
tom to give kind of feast five times
in the year for the souls of departed
heads of households, and food and
drink, including wine, are placed on
the graves and afterwards given to
the poor. 1t is high holiday for the
beggars, and they are not slow to take
advantage of the occasion.
In the country districts there is very
little use for money, as the farms, be-
ing small, are utilized for the produc-
ton of food for the winter, and this
consisting as it does, largely of wine,
brandy produced from plums, sauer-
kraut, potatoes, onions and the pods
of capsicum, known in Serbia as pap
rika," there is little need to sell the
produce in order to buy other COM
modities. All these and others are
stored in the cellars, but in the kitch-
ems of the one-storied houses, which
are the general rule, bacon, hams and
sailed meat are hung up to dry and
to mature.
Although the houses in the country
are not very large, there is still provi-
sion made for the guest, who may be
perfect stranger but who is welcome
to the hospitality which is a tradition
with Serbians in the same way as it
used to exist in the Scottish High
lands. The industries of Serbia are
small, as compared with agriculture,
and this unfortunately is the result of
settled policy, which until recent
years was enforced by the governing
classes. When Serbia comes to her
own again after the present war, much
in the national life will be changed;
the old order Of things will have
passed away and the development of
other industries besides those associ-
ated with agriculture is certain to
take place.

THE kingdom of Serbia is one
of the smallest in Europe, and
has been very slow in devei-
opment Greater progress,
however, has been made during the
last ten years than for centuries be-
fore. The area of the country is 49,
S9l square miles. the population being
over four and half millions, mostly
processing the Greek orthodox faith.
The inhabitants are largely devoted to
agricultural pursuits and, as a conse-
quence, there are very numerous small
farms in existence which belong to
the farmers, and by the law of primo
geniture descend from father to son.
Although there are two large towns,
Belgrade and Nish, most of the popu-
lation is rural, and S5 per cent, at
least, are engaged in agriculture;
but it is of primitive kind, as may
be witnessed any day on the small
farms referred to where the wooden
pillow used in the days of Xenophon
may be seen in daily use.

is largely due to the absence of any
organization or systematic agricultur-
al education. Modern methods have
only been introduced in a tentative
way during the last ten years, but
there are no agricultural colleges yet
in existence, although there are a
number of model farms which are sub
sidized by the state, and in which
technical instruction in dairying, fruit
farming, silk cultivation, wine growing
and similar subjects is given Tobac-
CO is produced to some extent, but
is not very much exported, and in
deed the total exports from the coun-
try are comparatively small, the larg-
est amount being sent to Austria-Hun-
gary.
The principal crop raised is maize,
and very large quantities of this ce-
real are consumed In the country in
