Serbian farm homes. This picture shows some of the quaint and simple farm homes of Serbia and old Macedonia. Serb farmers usually live in small villages and go many miles to the fields where their crops are grown. In reality they operate two farms, for they always have a truck garden around their dwelling, as well as the far-away plot of land devoted to corn and wheat. The American Red Cross has been the means of American farming machinery of all sorts being introduced into Serbia. Before the war the most difficult labor was accomplished by hand but modern methods seem to be taking hold there now and it is believed that Serbian farmers, once they have been convinced of the "better way", will lose no time in adopting American ideas. This photo shows a Serbian village near Nish. The ground is planted for the summer crops and many of the late blooming trees are in flower
