Heroine Of the Serbian Batte6elds
By c. Kay Spencer

One Of the bltterest contests chron-
icled during the great war has for its
setting that bleak region surrounding
Gornitchevo and Kaymakohalan, ln the
Serbian campaigns to defend their lit
tie country from the Tcuton octopus.
In the Serbian ranks were many
heroic women who dressed like the
men and fought as unselfishly. But
we are to tell about a little woman
q Scot-who exiled herself from her
native hills of old Scotland to march
over hard frozen ground powdered
with wind-driven snow on the hills of
Serbia.
Her claim to fame would very prob
ably have never been differentiated
from that of many another woman
trudging in the Serbian ranks had
she not been cast by fate into a mill
tary hospital maintained by the Brit
ish on that front.
In the early winter that saw the
beginning of the drives which pushed
the Bulgaro-Germans back to the
mountain known as Hill No. 1912, this
little Scotchwoman was carted to the
base hospital with her whole right
side, from the shoulder to the knee,
mass Of torn flesh and shattered hone.
Miss Flora Sands-for that is the
name of this intrepid Scotswoman--
began working in Serbia as a Red
Cross nurse early in the war. Her
sympathy became so aroused by the
sufferings and herolsm of the people
that, when the hospital units were
broken up during the great retreat of
October and November, 1915, she So
iicited and obtained permission to en-
list as private soldier in the rear
guard that protected the retreating
army. Before that army reached the
Adriatic she had won promotion. Be
come Sergeant Sands, she stood high
in the regard of both officers and
men Of the crack regiment to which
she still belongs. On the Macedonian
front she went through the whole of
the arduous and successful campaign
that began on September IL.

ism, but an opportunity to acquire
wealth at the same time.
Offsettina Labor Shortage
In view of the fact that farm labor
is scarce and high, every effort should
be bent towards securing maximum
yields per acre, with fertilizer, which
is one Of the best ways to conserve
man power.
Unfortunately, no industry has been
more directly aft 2ted by the war than
the fertilizer industry. The govern,
ment is Communicating materials i'm.
portant to this industry for the pur-
pose of manufacturing munitions of
war and hence has greatly reduced the
possible tonnage to be used in fer.
filters. In other words, while the
nation Is calling for the largest pos.
sible crop yields, there is, at the same
etime, great demand for gun powder
Some one has aptIy said, plants ant

under present conditions, the cannOns
must he fed first.
There is a considerable shortage OF
fefu72er mgrodlentS, ana tire prices
Of tlese ingtedients are corresponding
ly high.
Fertilizers Relatively Cheaper
In consequence Of high prices of raa
terials, due to their scarcity, and be
cause Of higher labor ami transport Ia
ton costs, fertilizers will be higher
this spring than ever before.
While the prices of fert lizers have
advanced, fortunately for the farm err
the prices Of crops have advanced sill
higher, so that fertilizers are relative
~ che rcr than before the war. A
bale of cotton with its seed will buy
mere fertilizer today thoD ever before
The same is true of bushel of corn;
bushel Of wheat; a bushel of pea
nuts; bushel Of potatoes, etc.
Why Fertilizers Are Scarce
The causes Of the shortage of fertil
izer materials may be summarized a.

Better Farming in the South
/ ne Present Fertilizer Situation


made potash, however, is just as val
liable as the potash salts that were
formerly obtained from Germany.
Acid phosphate is scerce due to the
fact that there is a shortage of sui
phuric acid-a necessary compound in
he manufacture Of acid phosphate.
Sulphuric acid is scarce, because py-
rites, from which most Of 1t is made,
has been coming :tom Spain and ships
are not now available with which to
transport it.
The fertilizer manufacturers have
been compelled to turn to the domes-
tic pyrites, and readjust their manufac-
turing plants to the production OF sui
phuric acid from birthstone obtained
from Louisiana and Texas. The gov
eminent is requiring Of the fertilizer
manufa cturers sulphuric acid In large
amounts to be used in the manufacture
Of explosives.
Then, too, there IL considerable diff
fculty in obtaining supplies OF rock
phosphate, because OF the transporta-
ton shortage.
The supply of nitrates has also been
curtailed because large amounts OF sui
phate Of ammonia are being taken for
refrigeration purposes, and the manu-
faCture of munitions. Cotton seed
meal, a valuable source Of nitrogen, is
icing used more and more for feeding

source Of nitrogen, is also being used

Nitrate of soda is more expensive at
me Chile mines, and shipping rates
nave increased enormously, and NUM-
ion requirements are heavy.
The fertilizer manufacturers find it
hard to secure hogs for shipping, since
, here is a'tremCndous shortage Of bur-
lap.
Thus it can be easily seen that 1t will
be very difficult to obtain necessary
fertilizer materials, and the farmer
must take due notice and act accord.
