American farm experts will be ask
ed to go to Serbia and help that ma
ton back on its feel, after its three
devastating wars. The American
committee for Serbian Agricultural
Relief. of which DR.. Charles w. FL
liot of Harvard is head, made the an
nouneement here.
About eighty per cent of the Ser
bians are farmers in normal times,
most of them owning their little five
acre tracts. They used the most
primitive methods until recent years,
when NJ Lozenitch, then secretary of
agriculture and commerce, caused the
importation of improved implements
and the introduction of scientific
methods. German professors were
engaged to teach the Balkan farmer
and were finding him an apt pupil
when the war broke out
The present war, the third in as
many years, finds Serbia one Of the
principal battlefields and already
more than half her country has been
laid bare Ruin, desolation and want
are spread over the northern districts,
while the women and children who
have been huddled in concentration
camps beyond the final line of the
trenches.
1t is now desired to return the wo-I
men and children to their homes-orI
the places that formerly were homes.
NJ. Lozanitch has entered into COM
munication with some of this coun-
try's most expert agriculturists ask
ing that they assist and that Ameri-
can seeds and machinery be sent. The
department of agriculture is under
stood to be favorable to the idea.

ION the farm not one boy in a
thousand has been taught the scien-
tific facts of soil cultivation, plant
breeding, seed selection and the ad-
vantage of cooperation in producing
and marketing his crops; not any OF
the things that go TO make agricul-
ture a real organized industry" de-
clared Secretary of Commerce Red
field the other day in talking with a
representative of the Southern Con.
ference for Education and Industry.
Many a farmer, north and south is
poor because he does not get the
most possible out OF his farm. He
has not the labor saving devices nor
the power that is needed for success.
But it is not entirely his fault. Mo-
body ever has showed him how to i'm
prove his methods. The farm DEM
cnstration work carried on by Dr.
Seaman A. Knapp, Of the department
of agriculture, has been a wonderful
help to the whole country. Many a
boy has the innate capacity to make
a success on the farm, if he is train
ed properly"
