Serbia Learns U. S. Farm Methods


 The American Red Cross agricultural unit that went to Serbia did more than hedp vii the war for it opened Serbia eyes to the profound possibilities of vest ern ideas and machinery in retrieving their arable land, all but ruined by years of warfare declares Lyman Bryson, Tn .sTaking~the West Into Monastir, in the New Red Cross Magazine.
 '.The results in actual work were con siderable" the writer asserts. but when the mission was ordered home for the winter of 191S-19 the members felt thas they had accomplished much more than the work which showed in what was growing in the field. They had taught the Serbs something of the uses Of the elaborate and sturdy American machin- cry which, in time to cine, will enaole them to cope with the production of crops on large scale. The machinery itselft was presented to the Serbian gov ernment by the Red Cross when Serbia again took charge of her own regained country and the need of help of this kind was no longer so ,Aegent. The peasants know something of American machines nav; they have American seed and have seen Americans work"

The recess joint committee, in it's re- port filed with the governor several days ago. recommended the taxing of coal taken from the mines and timber cut in the forests. Governor Kilby approved this method of raising taxes, saying 'fou uay expect strong opposition to the sug- gested small tax on coal from operators who, since the war in Europe began, have more than doubled the price of their output The mining companies, coal and iron. should pay their full share of the taxes These lands should be regarded and treated differently from other lands which will yield revenues through the ages to come Millions of tons of coal and iron ore are shipped annually from the state, which process IS slowly put surely depicting the natural resources oI the state.

 Further along in his message the gov ernor said:

league despite the ingenuity of Miller
Higgins and the purchase by the Col

are apparently out of the race.

baseball luck will now bring the pen
nant home for the Reds.
At the start of the season baseball
fan would have put up almost any
argument for the Giants chances and
there were many who believed the
Yanks would win with hard fight
The veteran infield of the Giants has
cracked and the veteran pitching stan
OF the Yanks has split with resound
ing bang. The outfield of the Ameri
can league club also has exploded in
IA vain effort to do something. Miller
Higgins, in fact, Is searching the
pastures for good or even a fail

he traded Bill Lamar to the Red Son
and sent Frank Kane to the minors.
