do this there Is available Il road
southwest over the mountains from
Nish. through Pristina to Prisrend
The advantage of this route would be
that it would bring the Serbs nearer
to their allies, who are coming north
up the Serbo-Greek corridor. In ad-
dition, a fairly possible trail runs from
Prisrend to Scutari. only forty miles,
and near Scutari the Boyana river Is
navigable.
At the very best, discarding all pos
sibility of effective allied intervention,
the Serbs can hope 10 get back on a
front north of the NIontenegrin from

The parallel between Serbia and Bel
gium is too striking not to provoke
comment. In military way the re-
semblance is almost complete; on the
political side the familiar Belgian
problem seems soon to be reproduced
To get at France, to avail herself of
the easiest road to Paris, Germany
struck through Belgium; to open the
road to Byzantium and thence to Egypt
and India, Germany is fighting in the
valley of the Morava as she fought in
those of the Sambre and the Meuse.
Between Serbia and Germany's allies,
Austria and Bulgaria, there is an old
standing grudge. No such grudge en-
bittered the relations between Belgium
and Germany, but, rs the Germans
looked forward to the possession of
Antwerp, the Austrians have planned
to acquire Saloniki an dthc road which
runs down through Serbia to the Greek
port. What Antwerp was to the

explanation of the past, the present and
the future meaning of the last of Ger

Serbia in History.
a century and half before Columbus
| discovered America Serbia was a great
nation. Under her famous emperor,
Stephen Dushan, she ruled from the
Danube to the Aegean and from the
Adriatic to the Black Sea- Bulgaria
was a vassal. and at the moment he
died DuShan was gathering his hosts to
attack the Byzantine empire and make
Constantinople his capital. In that day
Serbia had progressed far on the road
toward modern life: her laws compared
| favorably with British and French
codes of the time.
Less than half century after Dushan
was in his grave Serbia had lost her
libertv While he was yet alive the
Osmanli peril was gathering. and 1t
was against the SerL empire that 1t
broke on the field of koSSovo not the
Serb army but the Serb state was an
initiated, and for four centuries and
more the night of Turkish rule fell
upon the Slav state. In the repuhilc
of Ragusa, in the mountains of Monte
negro, on the fringes of the Austrian
empire. Serbs preserved their lanGuase;
unlike the Bulgars. they never quite
lost race Consciousness; unlike the
Greeks, they never surrendered; but as
d free people they disappeared.
But with the opening of the nine
teenth century. at the very beginning
of the Napoleonic era. Serbia began to
stir. There We're rebellions and risinSs
long before the more spectacular Greek
revolution enlisted the sympathy and
challenged the imagination of Europe.

During the prolonged drought this

peas without incolating ceased to
grow and did not head out satisfac-

After years Of intelligent toll, when
p. J. Beckmans of Augusta, Ga,
was gathered tohis fathers, he left
behind him an enviable reputation as
uulturist, a great nursury business,
and three sons to carry on the
work he had inaugrated-a business
which had it's customers in every civil
lied land, for the Beckmans nusery
products were above all reliable and
just what the firm declared them to
be. There was no guess work about
anything they sold. They knew the
possibilities and the limitations of
every tree, shrub or plant that went
forth from their establishment.
The business started by the re-
vered p. ]. A. Beckmans has far out
grown the business left by him. In
addition, the activities of the sons
have caused them to branch out in
several other directions, and among
their ventures is a fifteenth hundred
acre farm at Mayfield, half of which
Is given over to peach orchards and
the other half to general farming.
This farm. "The Oaks" located
at Mayfield in Hancock county, Ca,
is being brought up to highest produc-
tiveness through the application Of
the underlying principles Of the main
tenance of soil fertility, and a record
oat crop grown this year on sandy
land under drougb conditions lhas
pointed so conclusively to the money
value Of the incubation of legumes
that this year the Beckmans Broath-
ers are using more than 800 acres Of
incoculating material on COW peas
alone.
In discussing the rearkable yiely
of oats, Mr.. p. ]. A. A. Berckmansn Jr.,
said:
For years we have grown COW peas
with what we believed to be success,
as a means Of increasing the fertility
Of the land as we'll as for the excellent
forage the crop provides. Some years
ago we began testing out commercial
bacterial cultural for the mediation
Of hairy vetch, planted along with
oats, and some of them proved de-
c!de!y successful, while the hay was
easily the best ever fed on our place.
This test was madeon the orchard
section of The Oaks, and it was OBJ.
served by all that the mules on that
part of the plantation were in finer
condition than on the farm section,
where mixed grain and forage were
fed. Crops grew better after the in
oculated vetch, showing the increase
in nitrates and the general improve
ment of the soils.
"In the summer of 1914, the repre-
sentatives of the Earp-ThomaS Farm
ogerm Company called on us and
satisfied us that the incolating of
COW peas would be profitable. The
representative told us of people we
knew who had got as much as 100
Iper cent. increase in their oats and
other crops after cow peas incolated
