ADVERTISEMENTS II Should be in Every Jewish Home AN EPOCH-MAKING WORK COVERING A PERIOD OF ABOUT FOUR THOUSAND YEARS PROF. HE1NRICH GRAETZ'S HISTORY OF THE JEWS THE MOST AUTHORITATIVE AND COMPREHENSIVE HISTORY OF THE JEWS IN THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE HANDSOMELY AND DURABLY BOUND IN SIX VOLUMES Contains more than 4000 pages, a Copious Index of more than 8000 Subjects, and a Number of Good Sized Colored Maps. SOME ENTHUSIASTIC APPRECIATIONS DIFFICULT TASK PERFORMED WITH CONSUMMATE SKILL "Graetz's 'Geschichte der Juden1 has superseded all former works of its kind, and has been translated into English, Russian and Hebrew, and partly into Yiddish and French. That some of these translations have been edited three or four times—a very rare occurrence in Jewish literature—are in themselves proofs of the worth of the work. The material for Jewish history being so varied, the sources so scattered in the literatures of all nations, made the presentation of this history a very difficult undertaking, and it cannot be denied that Graetz performed his task with consummate skill."—The Jewish Encyclopedia. GREATEST AUTHORITY ON SUBJECT "Professor Graetz is the historiographer par excellence of the Jews. His work, at present the authority upon the subject of Jewish History, bids fair to hold its pre-eminent position for some time, perhaps decades."—Preface to Index Volume. MOST DESIRABLE TEXT-BOOK "If one desires to study the history of the Jewish people under the direction of a scholar and pleasant writer who is in sympathy with his subject, because he is himself a Jew, he should resort to the volumes of Graetz."—"Review ofRevitvit (New York).

Sign The American Jewish Year Book 5673 September 12, 1912, to October 1, 1913 Edited by HERBERT FRIEDENWALD for the AMERICAN JEWISH COMMITTEE PHILADELPHIA -,,„.,- THE JEWISH PUBLICATION SOCIETY of 1912 "AMERICA ^ • v COPYRIGHT, 1012, BY THE JEWISH PUBLICATION SOCIETY OF AMEEICA PREFACE The leading article in this, the fourteenth, issue of the is devoted to a survey, by Mr. Leonard G. Robinson, of the Agricultural Activities of the Jews in America, with special reference to the experiments, failures, and successes in the United States. It is a contribution to the history of a phase of Jewish activity to which too little attention has hitherto been paid, and which should receive widespread notice, as the achievements recorded, together with much unsuccessful endeavor, are of a high order. After the publication of this article, the ground will be taken from under the feet of those who contend that agriculture is an occupation which has no attractions for the Jews. Easily first of the events last year in Jewry, not only of this country but of all the world, is the abrogation of the Treaty of 1832 with Russia. Its epochal significance makes it take rank with such historical events as the emancipation of the Jews in France and the removal of the disabilities of the Jews of England, if it does not surpass them in importance. A measure of the extraordinary extent to which public attention was focussed upon the indignity which Russia, for more than a generation, had put upon American citizenship, may be gathered from the multiplicity and variety of the articles in the public press, an incomplete collection of which numbers no less than 3300 clippings. When made familiar with the facts, the newspapers from Maine to California, from the Great Lakes to the Gulf, and from Washington to Florida, with rare exceptions, demanded the abrogation of the Treaty. To this powerful voice, raised in the cause of justice and in deAMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK VI PREFACE fense of American citizenship, Congress gave willing heed. The hearings given to the American Jewish Committee and other organizations by the House Committee on Foreign Affairs and the Senate Committee on Foreign Eelations were so full, and the arguments were presented in so convincing a manner, that the Congress was moved to take practically unanimous action favoring the abrogation of the Treaty, which, by notice of President Taft, tendered to Eussia on the 17th of December, 1911, brought to an end from and after January 1, 1913, the principal instrument binding the United States with Russia. Without the doors of Congress, the most significant single event in connection with the Treaty-abrogation movement was the great mass meeting held on December 6, 1911, at Carnegie Hall, under the auspices of the National Citizens' Committee of which Andrew D. White, formerly Minister to Russia and Ambassador to Berlin, was President, and William G. McAdoo was Chairman of the Executive Committee. Mass meetings were held in other cities as well, and were addressed by men of distinction, but none had the national importance of the Carnegie Hall meeting. If the passport question reached a culmination, gratifying to Jews the world over, the same cannot be said of the attempts at the passage in Congress of bills aimed at restricting immigration. Though it has been the traditional policy of the country merely to regulate and never to restrict immigration —except in the case of the Chinese—the Dillingham Bill which passed the Senate was a strongly restrictionist measure with many harsh provisions. In the House Committee on Immigration, the Burnett Bill, subjecting all immigrants to an educational test, was substituted for the Dillingham Bill, PREFACE VII and favorably reported to the House. At this writing, no action has as yet been taken upon the bill, but if it fails at this session of Congress, it will unquestionably come up again at the next session, and the friends of the immigrant must be prepared for another contest, to prevent him from being shut out of the country. Though the United States Immigration Commission, appointed under the act of 1907, did not report any bill, it recommended the restriction of immigration, and advocated a reading and writing test as the most feasible single method of carrying out its recommendations. For this proposed reversal of the traditional policy of the country the immense and undigested mass of miscellaneous data gathered by the Commission furnishes no justification. As has been freely admitted by its own experts, the Commission collected a much greater mass of material than there was opportunity properly to examine, and when forced by Congress to conclude the investigation at a definite date, it made hasty generalizations, which its own collection of material does not warrant. The immigration question is still a pressing one, therefore, and it is safe to say that more will be recorded about it in subsequent YEAR BOOKS. As before, it gives me pleasure to make acknowledgment of the helpful suggestions received from Miss Henrietta Szold and Dr. Cyrus Adler. HERBERT FRIEDENWALD. NEW YORK, JULY 30, 1912.

EOBINSON * GENEEAL MANAGER, THE JEWISH AGRICULTURAL AND INDUSTRIAL AID SOCIETY, NEW YORK CITY INTRODUCTION There is a tendency to go far afield in the discussion of agriculture as a vocation. This tendency is specially evident in the treatment of the Jew as an agriculturist. It is argued by some that the Jews, having been originally an agricultural people, should go back to the calling of their forefathers. Others, on the contrary, maintain that since they have not been tillers of the soil for nearly two thousand years, it is folly to expect Jews to make a success at it at this late date. Both sides seem to overlook the fact that the only inducement to engage in agriculture or, indeed, in any other occupation, is the individual profit and satisfaction expected therefrom. If a man can improve his condition—not necessarily financial—on a farm, it is a good reason for his becoming a farmer. If not, there is every reason for his staying away. As for the Jewish farmer, it does not always occur to either side that he is a human being and is actuated by the same motives, and must be judged by the same standards, as the average human being. * I desire to express my thanks to Professor Morris Loeb, Mr. Cyrus L. Sulzberger, Dr. Herbert Friedenwald, and Mr. Gabriel Davidson, for the revision of the manuscript and for their many valuable suggestions which have been freely incorporated in this article. 22 AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK Judging from the discussions frequently seen on the subject it might be supposed that the movement of the Jew toward the farm is very recent; that there is a great hiatus between the Jewish farmer of Biblical times and of the present day; and that the Jewish farmer of to-day is a hothouse plant carefully nurtured by the money and efforts of his philanthropic coreligionists. As a matter of fact, there never was a time when Jews did not engage in agriculture, and this notwithstanding the vexatious restrictions designed to uproot them from the soil and force them into industrial and commercial life. The present-day movement toward the soil is merely the result of the removal of the restrictions that made agriculture to the Jew a forbidden or a hazardous occupation. It is true that expulsions and pogroms have necessitated the establishment of philanthropic organizations without which it would have been impossible to deal with the exceptional conditions affecting the lives of so many distracted and uprooted human beings. But these organizations are now constantly engaged in eliminating the eleemosynary element, and are acting merely as guides, directing and encouraging those who are anxious, of their own initiative, to take up farming for a livelihood. For the most part, this article endeavors to relate the story of the activities of the Jews in agriculture on the American continent. By reason of the traditional ties that bind the Jews of the world to Palestine; the direct relations of a varied character that the Jews of the United States have with Palestine; and the extent to which resettlement there may in the future have effect in diverting the stream pouring out of Eussia, it has been deemed appropriate to open with a sketch of the colonizing undertakings in Palestine. AGRICULTURAL ACTIVITIES OF JEWS IN AMERICA 23 The close interrelation between the Eussian exodus and the growth of agricultural activities in America has also made it appropriate that an account should be given of Bussian-Jewish agriculture. PALESTINE In all likelihood the dispersion of the Children of Israel after the taking of Jerusalem by the Eomans was not as thorough as is generally believed. Many Jews must have remained in their own country, and not a few doubtless followed their customary vocations. It is therefore not only possible but quite probable that some Jews have always been farming in Palestine. Benjamin of Tudela records the finding of Jewish farming settlements in the Holy Land in 1170, and in 1481 Volterra found a settlement of about sixty Jewish farmers at Gaza. Other travellers tell of similar discoveries from time to time. But the rehabilitation of Jewish agriculture in Palestine had its beginning only in the latter part of the nineteenth century. In the early fifties considerable agitation was set on foot throughout Europe, aiming at the return of the Jews to the Holy Land. Cremieux, Sir Moses Montefiore, and others, devoted much time and attention to the furtherance of this idea. In his " Diaries " Sir Moses speaks of colonizing some thirty-five families from Safed. But whether a beginning was actually made, where this colony was located, or what became of it, is not clear. Nothing of a tangible nature seems to have been accomplished until the Alliance Israelite Universelle was induced to take an interest in the movement. This organization was founded in Paris in 1860, as a result of the persecutions to which the 24 AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK Jews of Eastern Europe and other Eastern countries were subjected. Its object was to promote the general moral progress of the Jews and to protect those suffering from persecution. In 1868, at the solicitation of several Rabbis, the Alliance sent Charles Netter, one of its organizers, to Palestine to investigate the possibility of locating Jews upon farms. The result of Netter's visit was the founding, in 1870, of the Agricultural School of Mikweh-Israel, for which purpose the Sultan donated 650 acres of land, east of Jaffa, on the road from Jaffa to Jerusalem. The object of this school was to train Jewish youths as agriculturists, to form nuclei of Jewish colonies eventually to be established in Palestine. Up to October 31, 1908, the number of pupils that had attended the school was 857, of whom 405 were graduated after taking the full course of seven years. The school's equipment is modern, and the instruction is practical as well as scientific. The number of pupils registered in 1908-1909 was seventy-eight. Graduates of the school are to be found on their own farms in Palestine and elsewhere. Some are employed as agricultural instructors in the colonies and in Turkish provinces other than Palestine, while those who show exceptional promise are sent to pursue post-graduate work in the agricultural schools of France. Contrary to the general belief, which makes Petach-Tikwah the oldest colony, this distinction seems to belong to Mozah, a suburb of Jerusalem. Rabbi Hirsch Kalischer, of Thorn, Prussia, and other Rabbis in Europe sent out an appeal urging the establishment of agricultural colonies in Palestine, with a view to improving the condition of the Jews living in that country. Funds were collected, 127 acres of land were bought, and in 1873 several families were placed thereon. These pioneers had a hard struggle for existence, but to-day the little AGRICULTURAL ACTIVITIES OF JEWS IN AMERICA 35 settlement is in a flourishing condition, and its members are chiefly engaged in viticulture, and in truck farming for the Jerusalem market. The year 1878 saw the founding of the largest and the most prosperous of the Palestinian colonies. Several Jewish residents of Jerusalem bought a tract of land of 767 acres, about six miles north of Jaffa, and named the settlement Petach-Tikwah. A part of the land was low, marshy, and malarial, and most of the colonists were attacked by fever, and obliged to leave. But in 1883 the Society Hovevei Zion of Odessa placed a few Russian immigrants from Bielistock on the abandoned land. Profiting by the experience of the former colonists, the houses of the new settlers were built on higher and healthier ground. This proved more successful, and many of these settlers, or their children, are still cultivating their original holdings. Thus far the motives for Jewish colonization in Palestine were, on the one hand, economic—the encouragement of the poverty-stricken and dependent Jews in the cities of Palestine to become self-supporting and self-respecting—and, on the other, religious. Neither of these motives seems to have been sufficiently strong to exercise a perceptible influence on Jewish agriculture in the Holy Land. The impetus to Jewish colonization in Palestine and elsewhere was given by the renewed outbreak of persecution and lawlessness that raged in Eussia in the early eighties. A general exodus took place. The bordering countries were overrun with destitute refugees having no objective point. Soon a wave of nationalism swept over European Jewry, and the cry went forth that the only salvation for the Jew was to return to the land of his forefathers. Dr. Pinsker's " Auto Emancipation " and other books and articles favoring that course made their appearance. The agitation 26 AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK gained momentum. Committees were organized in nearly every centre in Europe, and funds were collected for the cause. The Alliance Israelite Universelle had no faith in the movement, and showed little interest in it. Yet the tide was strong, and many refugees, with or without assistance or encouragement from their more fortunate brethren, emigrated to Palestine with the object of establishing themselves as tillers of the soil. But the greatest impetus to Palestinian colonization has arisen as the result of the modern Zionist movement organized by Dr. Theodor Herzl in 1896. The first of the colonies to be founded as a result of the conditions just described was Rishon-le-Zion. In 1882 several Russian refugees from Moghileff, led by Hirsch Leventin, bought land about six miles south of Jaffa, on the road from Jaffa to Gaza, The same year saw the founding of the colony Wady-el-Chanin two miles away, also by Russian Jews, and of the colonies of Sammarin (Zichron-Jakob) in Samaria and of Rosh-Pina in Galilee by Roumanian Jews. About one hundred students from Russian universities came the same year to work as farm laborers. These students were members of an organization called " Bilu," which word is made up of the initial letters of the Hebrew phrase meaning " come let us go to the house of Jacob." They eventually founded the colony of Hedera. In 1883 some Russian immigrants founded the colony of Yessod-Hamaaleh in Galilee. These colonists, like those who preceded them, were chiefly merchants and mechanics. They had no knowledge of agriculture, and what little money they had was soon lost in their venture. The economic situation of this settlement as well as that of the other Palestinian colonies at that time became extremely precarious. But the AGRICULTURAL ACTIVITIES OF JEWS IN AMERICA 27 colonists of Yessod-Hamaaleh enlisted the interest of the Hovevei Zion of Eussia, and a committee of two was sent to Paris, who induced Baron Edmond de Eothschild to come to the assistance of this colony. The first step taken by Baron Rothschild was to build an irrigation plant in Yessod-Hamaaleh, using Lake Huleh as a reservoir. He also planted a nursery garden, and encouraged the cultivation of roses, which has since become its chief industry. These are distilled into attar of roses in a perfume distillery Baron Eothschild erected. He also came to the assistance of the other colonies, and it was due largely to his generosity that they survived. In Eishon-le-Zion he undertook the development of viticulture on a large scale. To prevent phylloxera, American vine stocks were imported, on which French shoots were grafted. A large wine cellar was erected, modern equipment was installed for the manufacture of wine, and experts from France were sent to assist in the development of Palestinian wine growing and the making of wines and cognacs. It took ten years, and it cost Baron Eothschild millions of francs, to bring Palestinian viticulture to its present state of development. Mulberry trees for the culture of the silk-worm and fruit trees, such as almonds, figs, and citrus fruit, were also planted in this and other colonies. Baron Eothschild also took the colony Sammarin under his protection, and renamed it Zichron-Jakob, after his father. There, too, he planted a nursery garden, erected a wine cellar, and a steam flour mill. Expert agriculturists were also sent to Eosh-Pina to plant fruit trees, especially of the citrus variety, besides olives and almonds. In 1884 Baron Eothschild bought a tract of land in Ekron, and named the colony MazkeretBathya, after his mother. Petach-Tikwah was taken in hand in 28 AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK 1887. He planted eucalyptus trees around the marshes to eradicate the malaria, and with the improvement of sanitary conditions, this colony grew rapidly, and is now the largest and most flourishing of Palestinian colonies. Baron Eothschild's effective interest in Palestine served to preserve the existing colonies. But the influence of his activity extended beyond the colonies which he had founded or assisted. Newly established organizations, having as their object the development of Palestinian agriculture, began to buy land for colonization. Hedera and Kefar-Saba were established by the Ezra, a German society founded in 1884 with the object of establishing Jewish farm laborers in the colonies upon farms of their own. Kinneret was founded by the Palestine Land Development Company of England, and Merhawya by the Erez Yisroel Siedlungsgesellschaft of Cologne. Colonies were also established by immigrants independently and without assistance from any source. Rehobot, for example, was founded by immigrants from Warsaw, and Artuf by Bulgarians. A measure of the interest in Palestinian colonization may be gathered from the fact that between the years 1883 and 1896 twenty-two colonies were founded. In 1896 the Jewish Colonization Association (ICA), upon the urgent solicitation of Baron Eothschild, began loaning money to colonists in Palestine. The following year it bought 4400 acres of land in Galilee, on which the colony of Sedjera was founded, and farm laborers from other colonies were placed thereon as tenants. In 1910 Baron Rothschild, wishing to perpetuate his work through a permanent organization, turned over the affairs of his colonies in Palestine to the ICA. From the very first, this organization gradually withdrew paternal supervision from the colonies, and used every effort to AGRICULTURAL ACTIVITIES OF JEWS IN AMERICA 29 place their affairs in the hands of local bodies and make the individual colonists self-governing and independent. A striking illustration of the effect of this action was the organization, in 1906, of the Societe Cooperative de Vignerons (Wine Growers Association) to which organization the ICA turned over the wine-cellars of Eishon-le-Zion and Zichron-Jakob. These cellars had been conducted by Baron Rothschild at a considerable annual loss. The cooperative association not only brought better net results to the wine growers, but was able in 1911 to pay to Baron Rothschild 450,000 francs on account of its indebtedness to him. The Jewish Colonization Association, besides lending its moral and financial assistance in the way of loans to the existing colonies, owns considerable land in various parts of Palestine, on which it employs Jewish farm laborers. After a period of probation farms are rented to them, and they are subsequently established upon farms of their own. In accordance with the figures given by the Zionist organization, the number of Jewish agricultural colonies in Palestine in 1911, was forty-one, comprising a population of about 9500 souls and occupying 79,072 acres of land. Following is a table giving the names of the colonies, date of foundation, area, and population; also the gross income of each colony for the year 1910, when obtainable. (For Table, see p. 30.) In addition to these colonies, considerable land is held by Baron Rothschild, the Jewish Colonization Association, the Palestine Land Development Company of London, the Geulah Society of Odessa, the Agudath Netaim of Jaffa, the Hoachooza Society of St. Louis, and a number of publicspirited individuals, with a view to future settlement. The economic situation of the Jewish colonies in Palestine has improved from year to year.

The year 1910, besides being one of severe drought, was also a sabbatical year, and not a few of the colonists observed it as of yore. In Yessod-Hamaaleh, for example, out of thirty-two colonists, twenty-one observed the sabbatical year, and not only did they not cultivate their lands, but even neglected harvesting their fruits. Many of the colonists have liquidated their debts to Baron Rothschild and are prosperous. A colonist in Rishon-le-Zion, by the name of Levine, sold 5500 cases of oranges in 1910, from which he realized 16,000 francs; another, by the name of Abramovitz, distilled 20 kilos of attar of roses, which he sold at 35 francs per kilo. The area planted with oranges in the colonies of Judea alone is about 1750 acres, representing an investment of over 5,000,000 francs. The grapes taken in 1910 by the Wine Growers Association from the colonists in Judea and Samaria amounted to about 1000 tons. However, viticulture appears to have been overdone, and the Wine Growers Association has paid the cost of replacing the vineyards with fruit trees in some of the colonies, where the grapes are not of a high quality. The Pardess (Orange Growers Association) is doing among the fruit growers what the first named association does for the wine growers. Improved farming methods are being adopted constantly, and wherever possible irrigation plants are constructed. Besides the cultivation of fruit, such as oranges, as well as almonds and olives, the raising of cereals, wheat, barley, and so on, is engaged in to a constantly increasing extent. Some cotton is raised in Petach-Tikwah and Milhamie, but with indifferent success. In Metula, the summer boarding industry adds considerably to the income of the 3 32 AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK colony. In all the colonies each settler usually has a stone house, a kitchen, and flower garden, besides a horse or other beast of burden, a cow or goat, and some poultry. The municipal affairs of the colonies are gradually being assumed by local elective boards. In many of the colonies the public utilities are owned and controlled by the colonists cooperatively. Each colony has one or more synagogues, a school building, and some a town hall, a hospital, and other public or communal buildings. In the schools the teaching is conducted, as a rule, in Arabic and Hebrew. Most of the colonies also have kindergartens. The religious schools (Talmud Torahs) in many of them are conducted by the Freie Vereinigung, a German society. As to agricultural education, besides Mikweh-Israel, the Jewish National Fund established, in 1911, in the colony Ben-Schamen, an agricultural school in connection with the industrial school Bezalel. A number of other societies also conduct in the colonies educational work of various kinds. T H E JEWISH AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENT STATION AT HAIFA The growth of the Jewish colonies has opened the eyes of the world to the needs and the possibilities of Palestinian agriculture. Men of science also have become interested in the country as the probable birthplace of our cultivated cereals, wheat and barley. In 1906, Aaron Aaronsohn, the son of one of the Eoumanian pioneers of Zichron-Jakob, found, after painstaking investigation, a few ears of wild wheat growing on the declivities of Mount Hermon. The scientific world hailed the discovery as epoch-making, because of its relation to the possibilities of dry farming in arid regions. AGRICULTURAL ACTIVITIES OF JEWS IN AMERICA 33 Meantime, the Jewish National Fund of the Zionist organization charged itself, in consequence of a resolution taken by the International Congress held at Basle in 1903, with the collection of moneys for the foundation of an agricultural experiment station in Palestine. Aaronsohn was commissioned to study the question of the hybridization of wild wheat. He travelled extensively in Northern Africa and Southern Europe, and came to America in 1910. While here, he established relations with the United States Department of Agriculture, which took a keen interest in his discoveries, and published a Bulletin by him entitled "Agricultural and Botanical Explorations in Palestine." Through the United States Department of Agriculture, Aaronsohn and his work were brought to the notice of a number of prominent American Jews, who at his initiative established, February 18, 1910, the Jewish Agricultural Experiment Station, a New York corporation, with Julius Kosenwald, of Chicago, president; Morris Loeb, of New York, vice-president; Paul M. Warburg, of New York, treasurer; and Henrietta Szold, of New York, secretary. The objects of the corporation, to quote from its by-laws, " are the establishment, maintenance, and support of Agricultural Experiment Stations in Palestine and other countries; the development and improvement of cereals, fruits, and vegetables indigenous to Palestine and neighboring lands, the production of new species therafrom and their distribution elsewhere; the advancement of agriculture throughout the world, and the giving of instruction in new and improved methods of farming." The by-laws provide further that " the activities of the corporation shall be conducted exclusively on a scientific and educational basis, without religious, national, or political tendency of any kind." 34 AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK Funds were raised by the corporation for installation and the running expenses for a period of five years. The demonstration fields are situated at Atlit, at the foot of Mount Carmel, on land belonging to Baron Rothschild. A sub-station, chiefly for fruit culture, is situated in the Jewish colony of Hedera, on land offered by the colonists for the purpose. A second substation is being established on land donated by J. Kremenetsky of Vienna in the neighborhood of the colony of Petach-Tikwah, and other demonstration fields will be planted at Marrah, where a twenty-five acre plot has been put at the disposal of the Station by colonists. Recently Mr. Nathan Straus, of New York, enlarged the available territory of the Station by purchasing for it one of the foothills of Mount Carmel, adjoining the demonstration field at Atlit, on which pomological and reforestation experiments are to be instituted. Through his generosity a health bureau was also established in connection with the Station. The Station has occupied itself since its establishment with the hybridization of wild cereals. At the same time plantations on a large scale have been made of fruit trees, vines, mulberry trees, various sorts of fodder, and ornamental plants. For the purpose of experimentation with species adapted to the many varieties of soil and climatic conditions that characterize Palestine, plants have been imported from America, from France, and elsewhere. The Station has already won the confidence of the Palestinian public. The Jewish colonists, to the north and the south, resort to it for advice and information, both with regard to their plantings, and with regard to the introduction and use of modern machinery. Even the old-established German Templar colonies, which have long claimed their grapes as the best AGRICULTURAL ACTIVITIES OF JEWS IN AMERICA 35 grown in Palestine, have enlisted the services of the Station to aid in the solution of difficult agricultural problems. T H E ORIENT Outside of Palestine Jewish agriculture in the Eastern countries is relatively of little importance. The first of the Jewish agricultural activities in these countries was the founding of the Agricultural School of Djedeida in Tunis, in 1895, by the Alliance Israelite Universelle. This school is located on a tract of 4500 acres of land near the city of Tunis. The pupils are mainly drawn from the native Jewish inhabitants, and usually number about a hundred. The ICA contributes toward the maintenance of the school by paying for a certain number of pupils each year, as it does at the school of MikwehIsrael. Another agricultural school, Or-Jehouda, was founded by the Jewish Colonization Association in 1899 in the vicinity of Smyrna, in Asia Minor. The school is located on a tract of about 7500 acres. In 1901 Otto Warburg, of Berlin, was instrumental in founding two small colonies of Roumanian Jews in Asia Minor, Sazilar and Karaya. Some of the original colonists having left, they were, in 1910, replaced by Eussian immigrants with means of their own, who are making good progress. On the Island of Cyprus the Ahavath Zion Society of London, composed largely of Eussian Jews from Minsk and Warsaw, started three small colonies in 1897, Margo, Cholmakchi, and Kouklia. The total population of these colonies in 1910 was 110. 36 AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK EUSSIA The first movement in the direction of placing the Jew upon the soil in. Eussia was initiated by Emperor Alexander I. In 1802 he appointed a commission to study the Jewish question, and upon the recommendation of that commission a plan was outlined for the colonization of Jews in the western and southwestern provinces. The first seven colonies of Jewish farmers were founded in 1806 in the Province of Kherson in New (Southern) Eussia. Permission was given to Jews to buy or rent land. For the assistance of those without means the Government contributed some 80,000 acres of land, besides promising its financial and moral support to the enterprise. Aside from the vexatious restrictions which tended to hamper the new colonists, they were placed upon land suitable only for extensive cultivation, for which they had neither the financial means nor sufficient land. The Government, too, had not kept its pledges, and many of the colonists, finding the situation hopeless, became discouraged and left. Nevertheless, by 1810, some 1690 families were to be found in these colonies. With the exception of 443 additional families settled in 1823, colonization was practically at a standstill. An Imperial edict issued in 1810, and another in 1823, put an end to Jewish colonization for the time. In 1835 Alexander's successor, Emperor Nicholas I, made an effort to revive the movement of colonizing Jews in New Eussia on much more liberal terms. As a further inducement colonists were relieved from taxation and from military service for a certain number of years, and wealthy Jews who founded a colony of one hundred persons were to be raised to the nobility. But the experience of those who had returned from the old colonies in Kherson was not yet forgotten, and the scheme did AGRICULTURAL ACTIVITIES OF JEWS IN AMERICA 37 not arouse much interest. The following year a commission was appointed by the Emperor, which recommended the fertile plains of the Siberian provinces as more suitable for Jewish colonization. About 40,000 acres of land were appropriated by the Government for this purpose. The new project was hailed with enthusiasm by Jewish leaders as well as by Jews in general. But in 1837, before any of the plans could be carried into effect, another edict of the Czar recalled his former edict, and Jewish colonization in Siberia ended before it began. Meanwhile, applications from Jews throughout Eussia for permission to settle in Siberia had grown to a considerable volume. Many of the would-be colonists, accepting the Government plan in good faith, did not wait for final arrangements to be completed, and started on their way to Siberia. On reaching their destination, after travelling over two thousand miles, upon orders from St. Petersburg, they were seized and transported to Kherson, where the former colonies were established, a distance of about twenty-five hundred miles. Considering the mode of transportation at the time, it is easy to see what suffering and hardships these helpless would-be colonists must have undergone. Many of them died on the way; others were too ill to continue their journey, and were placed in hospitals en route. Those that reached their destination were too exhausted and too ill to be fit for anything. Several thousand men, women, and children were left by the Government without food or shelter, and the ravages of famine and disease were appalling. Not the least of their troubles was the maltreatment the colonists had received at the hands of the Russian officials in whose charge they had been placed. By 1841, however, four new colonies were started, and in 1845 there were in all, in the province of Kherson, fifteen 38 AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK Jewish colonies, comprising 1661 families, with a population of 12,779 souls. After 1849 Jewish colonists were chiefly directed to the province of Ekaterinoslaff. By 1856, fifteen colonies were founded in this province, comprising 766 families. In the province of Bessarabia, nine colonies were founded between the years 1836 and 1853. Despite the many obstacles encountered, Jewish colonization made much headway. Colonies grew up everywhere, and Jews in large numbers also settled on individual farms in nearly every part of the Eussian Empire. In the northwestern provinces the colonization of Jews on Government as well as on private lands proceeded simultaneously. But in 1859 the further settlement of Jews on Government land was stopped, and in 1864 they were prohibited from settling even on private lands. Jewish colonization ceased, and the May Laws of 1881 served not only to restrict the growth of Jewish agriculture in Eussia, but actually to decrease it. According to official figures for the year 1870, there were in the nine northwestern provinces a total of 216 Jewish farming settlements, covering over 90,000 acres and comprising a, population of 34,475. A canvass made by the Jewish Colonization Association in 1898 shows the number of Jewish fanning colonies in the northwestern, southwestern, and southern provinces to be 296, as follows: Region N o r t h w e s t e r n Provinces Southwestern Provinces Southern (New) Russia Colonies Families Persons Acres 188 60 48 2,731 2,227 5,592 18,604 12,165 32,683 66,012.6 31,975.6 171,390.6 296 10,550 63,342 269,378.6 These figures do not include the settlements in the ten Polish provinces and elsewhere, nor the individual farmers scattered AGRICULTURAL ACTIVITIES OF JEWS IN AMERICA 39 through the Empire. The first general census of the Eussian Empire, which appeared in 1897, gives the number of Jews engaged in agricultural pursuits as 40,611, and the number of souls dependent upon them for support as over 150,000, making the Jewish farming population in Kussia approximately 200,000. The acreage owned by Jews in the Empire is given as 6,422,684. The economic position of the Jewish farmers in Eussia is doubtless growing more precarious from year to year. Bad as is the condition of the Eussian peasant farmer, that of the Jew is infinitely worse. Beginning as they did with 81.1 acres per family, which, with the agricultural methods pursued at that time, was hardly sufficient to give a family of fair size an opportunity to make a respectable living, the holdings of the Jewish farmers constantly decreased, until the average in 1898 for the entire country was as low as 23.4 acres. In the southern provinces (New Eussia) the average is 30.6 acres; in the northwestern provinces 24.2 acres; while in the southwestern provinces it is only 14.3 acres. This reduction was caused, in the first place, by the natural increase in the number of families in these colonies, who had to be provided for from the scanty holdings, which could not be increased either by purchase or lease, but chiefly through the action of the Government, which from time to time deprived Jewish colonists of their holdings of large tracts of Government land, on which they had been previously induced to settle. In the middle of the seventies, for example, more than 89,166 acres of land, or more than fifty per cent, was taken away from the Jewish colonists in the four provinces of Volhynia, Kieff, Podolia, and Tchernigoff. Even as late as 1910, some of the colonists of Kherson were deprived of considerable state land which they had occupied for three- 40 AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK quarters of a century. Many Jewish farmers in the Russian Empire are perforce obliged to seek other occupations, or other countries for their agricultural activities. Not a few of the colonists have increased their cultivable area by rental, but inasmuch as it is done without sanction of law, they are, of course, entirely at the mercy of their non-Jewish lessors. Had it not been for the activity of the Jewish Colonization Association, which, in cooperation with the Central Emigration Committee of St. Petersburg, organized by Baron Horace Giinzburg, has exerted every effort to ameliorate the condition of the Jewish farmers in Russia, their condition would have been intolerable. By reason of the inadequacy of the land at the disposal of the colonists, that organization put forth every effort to transform the agriculture of the Jewish farmers to suit the conditions. The ICA encourages a more intensive form of cultivation, to develop the holdings to the best advantage. In the northwestern provinces it has aided the farmers to go into fruit and truck farming; in the southern provinces into viticulture and stock breeding; and in Bessarabia and Podolia into the culture of tobacco, although the sale of tobacco by the colonists is hedged about with many restrictions. In Kherson, for example, with the help of the ICA, sixty-two new vineyards were set out in 1910, and in Bessarabia the number of grapevines planted the same year was 240,725. In some of the colonies of Ekaterinoslaff, the ICA also erected irrigation systems. The ICA likewise established nursery gardens to supply the necessary nursery stock for the colonies, and has in its employ a number of expert agriculturists, who constantly travel about to teach the farmers the most modern methods and to assist them in improving their condition. AGRICULTURAL ACTIVITIES OF JEWS IN AMERICA 41 The colonists are further granted loans for the purchase of live stock and modern tools and farming implements. These loans are advanced, as a rule, through the Cooperative Credit Associations, of which there are eighteen in operation, which act as fiscal agents of the ICA in their respective localities, and do various forms of cooperative work among their members. The ICA also maintains five agricultural schools. Children of Jewish farmers are especially given every facility to attend these schools. In the year 1910, the school at Minsk had eighteen pupils, that of Novopoltavka fifty pupils, Czenstonieff nineteen, and Czenstochowa fifteen. The last-named gives special attention to fruit growing, horticulture, and floriculture. Another school, at Orscha, consists merely of an experimental farm worked by the inmates of one of the orphan asylums. With all this, the economic situation of the Jewish farmer in Eussia could not be more deplorable, and unless a radical change in the attitude of the Government takes place, Jewish agriculture in the Russian empire is doomed. WESTERN BUBOPE Jewish agriculture in the countries of Western Europe has little significance. There are no reports of Jews engaged in agriculture in France, Holland, or England. In Germany there were, in 1907, according to the official census, 3746 Jews engaged in agricultural occupations, farming, forestry, hunting, and fishing. The number of Jewish landowners in Germany is small, and they are mainly owners of large estates. Jewish farmers in Germany are to be found only occasionally in the West Prussian provinces and in South Germany. In 42 AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK Austria, in the provinces of Galicia and Bukovina, many Jews live in rural districts, and some own a cow or two and a garden patch; but an actual Jewish farmer depending upon the farm for a livelihood is extremely rare. Considerable land is owned and farmed by Jews in these provinces, but they are chiefly large estates. The small Jewish landowner does not work his farm, but as a rule rents it out on shares. The same is true of Hungary and Eoumania. In addition to the five agricultural schools in Eussia, the ICA, in 1899, founded a school at Slobodka-Lesna, near Kolomea, in Galicia. It is located on about 2200 acres of land, and its courses are thoroughly practical in character. Besides agriculture, blacksmithing is one of the most important courses. The school also established a large distillery for the manufacture of spirituous liquors. The school had fifty-five pupils in 1910. Another Jewish agricultural school in Europe is the Israelitische Erziehungsanstalt at Ahlem, in the vicinity of Hanover, Germany, founded in 1893 by Moritz A. Simon, a banker of Hanover, with an endowment of $750,000. The aim of the school is to teach " agriculture and handicraft—two occupations from which Jews, through circumstances, have been excluded for centuries." The ICA contributes to its support by maintaining a number of pupils from Eussia at the school, which up to 1905 had graduated 170 pupils. T H E JEWISH COLONIZATION ASSOCIATION The revival of persecutions and expulsions in Eussia in 1890, and the urgent appeals to him from prominent members of European Jewry to aid in lifting the burden put upon them by AGRICULTURAL ACTIVITIES OF JEWS IN AMERICA 43 the large emigration from the affected provinces across the Bussian frontier, caused Baron Maurice de Hirsch to take prompt measures to carry out his long-considered plan of relieving the Jewish situation in Eussia by transplanting a large part of its population to countries where it could live untrammeled by religious bigotry and political oppression. Having concluded that a new country like the Argentine Eepublic might furnish a favorable field for his ambitious philanthropy, he had sent, in 1890, a commission consisting of William Loewenthal, a German physician, C. E. Cullen, an English engineer, and Vanvinckeroy, a Belgian colonel, to study the agricultural opportunities afforded by that country. Their favorable report and the hearty approval and promise of moral support of the Argentine Government led him to enter upon the statesmanlike undertaking that has established his fame for all time. To prepare the way for an orderly emigration, a Central Emigration Committee of prominent Jews, under the presidency of Baron Horace Giinzburg, of St. Petersburg, was soon formed, and the sanction of the Eussian Government for the project was obtained. Stress of circumstances had compelled Baron de Hirsch to embark upon Argentinian colonization before his plans were fully matured. He soon saw that the many difficulties to be overcome in order permanently to carry out a scheme of such magnitude were beyond the capabilities of any individual, and that the responsibility must be shared with other Jews of prominence and public spirit. Accordingly, in September, 1891, the Jewish Colonization Association (ICA) was organized as an English corporation, with a capital of 2,000,000 pounds sterling, Baron de Hirsch furnishing the entire capital. 44 AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK Later on he donated to this organization a much larger amount as a trust fund, of which the income alone was to be used, and upon his death he made that corporation his principal legatee. The shares of this corporation he distributed to the Jewish communities of Berlin, Frankfort, Brussels, Paris, and London, who were to name the directors of the organization. However, responsibility for the work of the IC'A rested upon the shoulders of its founder until his death in 1896. The first meeting of the Trustees, or Council, of the ICA convened that year, and comprehensive plans were prepared, aiming at the relief of the persecuted Jews in Russia and other countries, so as to ameliorate their condition, economic, social, as well as political. Besides continuing and developing the work in Argentine, which Baron de Hirsch began in 1891, the ICA, in 1896, as we have seen, came to the assistance of the Jewish colonies in Palestine. It also entered upon a multiplicity of activities of relief and education in the towns of that country. The same year the ICA, with the cooperation of the St. Petersburg Committee, gave attention to the unfortunate Jewish farmers of Russia. It also initiated other work of a constructive and educational character in the congested cities of the Pale and other Jewish centres. Almost simultaneously it extended its activities to Canada and to the United States, in which country Jewish immigration from Russia had assumed large proportions, and where Baron de Hirsch had already created an agency for his philanthropic activities by the establishment of the Baron de Hirsch Fund. The liberality of the ICA alone made possible many educational institutions in the United States working for the economic independence and Americanization of the Jewish immigrant. It was due also to the coopera- AGRICULTURAL ACTIVITIES OF JEWS IN AMERICA 45 tion of the two Baron de Hirsch organizations—the ICA and the Baron de Hirsch Fund—that the Jewish Agricultural and Industrial Aid Society, which has wielded such strong influence upon the agricultural activities of the Jews in the United States, was created. In fact there is hardly a country where Jews are to be found to which the philanthropic activities of the Jewish Colonization Association do not extend. ARGENTINE The Jewish Encyclopedia (article, " Agricultural Colonies in the Argentine Kepublic") is authority for the statement that Eussian Jews had attempted to establish colonies in Argentine in 1889 and 1890, before Baron de Hirsch commenced his great undertaking. But whatever their extent, these colonies were soon absorbed by the elaborate projects of Baron de Hirsch, which, for the reasons already given, were hastily put in operation with the purchase, early in 1891, of about 62,000 acres of land in the province of Buenos-Ayres, and the founding of the colony of Mauricio. On July 5, 1891, several hundred immigrants were sent by way of Hamburg, and eight hundred more were selected from some four thousand refugees who were stranded in Constantinople. By the end of the year twenty-two hundred persons had been despatched to Argentine. Strict orders had been given to the local committees to choose only experienced agriculturists, but this was not found practicable. The hastily formed local committees which had the selection in charge were not in a position to learn much of the qualifications of the men they were selecting, and besides were anxious to relieve the situation and send out the unfortunate refugees as quickly as possible. As a consequence, many errors of judgment were necessarily made, and Argentinian coloniza- 46 AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK tion suffered numerous setbacks because of the inability or disinclination of many of the immigrants to adjust themselves to a new economic life. However, Baron de Hirsch was not discouraged. He continued adding to his holdings in BuenosAyres, and also acquired large tracts of land in the provinces of Santa Fe and Entre-Eios. The second colony to be founded by Baron de Hirsch was that of Mo'iseville in the province of Santa Fe, also in 1891. In 1894, the colony of Clara, named after the Baroness de Hirsch, was founded in the province of Entre-Rios. Profiting by former experience, a change was made in the mode of selecting the colonists, the selection being made in Russia from those who were actual agriculturists. Ten groups of about forty families each were sent direct from Russia to Argentine, where everything had been prepared for them. This brought better results. The growth of Argentinian colonies, however, was slow and during the early period numerous difficulties and obstacles were encountered. Many of the colonists, knowing nothing of farming, unprepared to bear the hardships of pioneers, and not receiving the support from the administrators of the colonies they thought they were entitled to, created considerable trouble, and eventually left. Of the 1333 families established upon farms in 1891, but 1023 remained at the end of the year. Between 1892 and 1894 inclusive, 768 new families were located, but there were so many defections that at the end of 1895 only 1021 colonists were left, and in 1893 the number was reduced to 833. From that time on their number increased from year to year, so that by September 30, 1910, there were 2103 families, aggregating 14,289 souls, besides 1205 other families numbering 6826 souls, who came upon their own initiative, to AGRICULTURAL ACTIVITIES OF JEWS IN AMERICA 47 work as farm laborers. The total population, therefore, of the Argentine colonies in 1910 was 3777 families, aggregating 21,115 souls. The following table gives the names of the colonies, the provinces in which they are located, and their population, as of 1910: Population Colonies Molseville Clara San Antonio Santa Isabel Lucienville Mauricio Baron de Hirsch JBernasconi Province Santa F6 Entre-Rlos ...

The system of settlement is a combination of the farm homestead system which prevails in America and the village system of Continental Europe. Clara, for example, is made up of some twenty villages. The total area under cultivation in 1910 was 462,873 acres. One of the most important agricultural industries engaged in by the colonists in Argentine is cattle raising. This was made possible through the foresight of the Jewish Colonization Association, which put a very large part of its land into alfalfa. This not only provides excellent fodder as well as pasture for the live stock of the colonists, but it is otherwise a profitable crop, as it sells at an average of $15 (silver) a ton. The colony of MoTseville alone sold 20,000 tons of baled alfalfa in 1910, besides the seed, which 4 48 AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK is sold as high as 60 cents a pound. The colonists also raise wheat, flax, barley, corn, oats, tobacco, and vegetables. Dairying is conducted on an extensive scale. One of the early colonists, who is also conducting a creamery, owns seven hundred milch cows. Creameries are conducted in all the colonies. The cattle raising industry received a severe blow in 1909 from the droughts prevailing that year, some of the colonies losing as much as 25 per cent of their live stock. Nevertheless, their stock in 1910 numbered 181,070 head, of which 98,335 was cattle, 35,380 sheep, and 47,355 horses and other beasts of burden. They also suffered severely from a plague of locusts, which devastated entire fields of some of the colonists. Still, the damage was not irreparable, the total gross income of all the colonies for 1909 amounting to $3,686,046. With constant improvement in the methods of cultivation, and the experience gained by the colonists, their economic position has steadily improved. A fair index to their sound position is the fact that during 1910 they paid back to the ICA $538,429.43. Another proof of the vast improvement that has taken place in these colonies is the fact that land values have almost doubled. In most of the colonies the homes of the settlers, in addition to the dwelling, have all the necessary outbuildings, and are surrounded by shade and fruit trees. Educational facilities in the colonies are excellent. In 1910 there were fifty schools, with 155 teachers and 3538 pupils. In these schools, agriculture is one of the most important courses. In addition to the established colonists, there is a class of immigrants who came to the colonies upon their own initiative, with the intention of working as farm laborers among their farm-owning coreligionists. During the season their earnings are as high as $5 a day, AGRICULTURAL ACTIVITIES OF JEWS IN AMERICA 49 although, in the winter many of them are obliged to go to Buenos-Ayres or other cities to earn a living. The ICA has looked after the interests of these immigrants and in the colonies has built houses for them, which are rented at a nominal price. Those who show satisfactory progress and prove to be capable workers are eventually placed as independent colonists on the same terms as the older ones. The colonists have imbibed the spirit of cooperation and self-help. Loan societies, which are also engaged in cooperative purchasing and other forms of self-help, have accomplished much for the advancement of the colonists. The purchases made through the Mutua Agricola, the cooperative society of Moiiseville, amounted in 1910 to $297,090. This colony also has a Ladies' Aid Society and a library. The Fondo Communal, a similar society, of the colony Clara, had in 1910 a membership of 748. Similar organizations exist in all the colonies, and there are in addition numerous societies of a purely literary or social nature. BRAZIL In South America the Jewish Colonization Association has extended its activities to the southern provinces of the Republic of Brazil. In 1904 it purchased a tract of about fifteen thousand acres in the Province of Bio Grande do Sul, and founded the colony of Philippson. The settlement started with forty families, Bessarabian colonists, and it numbered, in 1910, fiftytwo families, aggregating a population of 295. The agricultural conditions are about the same as in the Argentine colonies. In 1909, the ICA acquired about 225,000 acres at Quatro Irmaos, in the Province of Passo-Fundo. Of this land about 100,000 acres is in timber, and it is the intention of the ICA 50 AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK to make forestry an important part of the work of colonization on that land. CANADA The first Jewish agricultural colony in Canada was founded in 1884 by the Mansion House Committee of London with funds contributed by popular subscription. A tract of land was bought in the district of Moosomin, 220 miles west of Winnipeg, the capital of Manitoba, and thirty families were settled on it. Sir Alexander Gait, Canadian High Commissioner in London, acted as trustee. The colony, however, had but a brief existence. In 1892, when another wave of emigration from Eussia swept toward Canada, Baron de Hirsch desired to assist some of the immigrants to settle upon farms in the Northwest Territories. The Young Men's Hebrew Benevolent Society, of Montreal, agreed to act as agent for Baron de Hirsch in this undertaking. Government land was located in the south of the Province of Saskatchewan (formerly Assiniboia) near the United States boundary line, and forty-nine families were settled on free homesteads of one-quarter section (160 acres) each. Friends and relatives soon joined them, and the colony grew to seventy-three families. The settlement was named Hirsch after its founder. All the settlers were provided with houses, live stock, farming implements, and provisions for three years, at a total expenditure of about $50,000. When the three years had passed, and the colonists saw that they would thenceforth not only have to rely upon their own resources, but that they would be expected to repay what they had received, they sold out all their chattels, and abandoned the settlement. However, other settlers came in, and this colony, with Oxbow, 24 miles to the AGRICULTURAL ACTIVITIES OP JEWS IN AMERICA 51 eastward, which, was founded about the same time and is virtually a branch settlement, contains, according to a canvass made in 1911, forty families owning 9760 acres of land. The value of their real and personal property has been appraised at $248,050. The next colony to be founded was Wapella, 120 miles east of Regina, on the Canadian Pacific Railroad. This settlement was started in 1894 by twenty Jewish families, with their own means and without assistance from any source. But in 1901 severe crop failures involved the colonists in serious difficulties, and an appeal for help was made to the Jewish Agricultural and Industrial Aid Society of New York, which granted these settlers twenty-one loans aggregating about $10,000, practically all of which has been repaid. While most of the earlier settlers have left, those that remained have become excellent farmers and are well-to-do. Some of the younger men in the colony are graduates of Canadian agricultural schools, and are farming according to the most scientific methods. This colony is on the site of a former settlement, started in 1886 by John Hepner. Apparently little was done in the way of further settlement in Canada until 1901, when the colony of Lipton was established in Saskatchewan, sixty miles northeast of Regina. In 1904 another colony, Cupar, was founded. This colony is practically an extension of the Lipton colony, and the two are jointly known as the Qu'appelle Colony. In the same year was founded the colony of Bender, in Manitoba, 56 miles north of Winnipeg. This is the only settlement in Canada where the village system of farming prevails, similar to that in Continental Europe. These settlers are largely engaged in mixed farming. The settlement of New Herman, in the province of 52 AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK Saskatchewan, was founded the following year. This colony is considered one of the most successful of the Canadian Jewish colonies. Most of the settlers are young men, graduates of the ICA Agricultural School at Slobodka-Lesna in Galicia. In 1906 two new settlements were established, Trochu in Alberta and Edenbridge in Saskatchewan. Trochu is the largest of the Jewish settlements in Canada, It is composed of 89 families and 238 souls, owning an acreage of 19,520. The appraised valuation of both real and personal property belonging to these settlers in 1911 was $318,925. Edenbridge derives its name from the fact that the settlement is located on two sides of a river connected by a bridge, which is almost exclusively used by the Jewish settlers, hence Edenbridge (Yiddenbridge), or Jewish bridge. Most of the first settlers came from South Africa, where they worked in the mines. They are energetic and successful fanners, and imbued with public spirit. They built a synagogue and established a library, and the Edenbridge Jewish Cooperative Society, which was recently organized, has already rendered valuable service to its members. In 1908 a group of seven families settled south of Morse, in the Province of Saskatchewan. In 1911 five other new settlements came into existence, Alsask South, Alsask North, and Eosetown in Saskatchewan, and New Hirsch and Springfield in Manitoba. Some of the settlers in Alsask North had farmed on Government homesteads in North Dakota, while the settlers of New Hirsch were members of the Israeloffka colony in Kherson, Eussia. Springfield consists of four distinct settlements, namely, Springfield, Kilvanan, Birdshill, and Pine Eidge. It is situated about fifteen miles northeast of AGRICULTURAL ACTIVITIES OF JEWS IN AMERICA 53 Winnipeg. The farmers in this settlement are chiefly engaged in truck gardening and dairying for the Winnipeg market. The type of farming pursued by the Jewish farmers in Canada naturally varies with the locality. They raise wheat in Saskatchewan, and are engaged in mixed farming in Alberta. Gardening is the chief farming industry in Manitoba and dairying in the eastern provinces. The problems encountered by the Jewish farmers in the Canadian Northwest are similar to those which the farmers in the Northwest of the United States have to meet. The severe droughts of the last two years created a serious situation among the Jewish farmers in Canada, but with the help of the ICA they were able to overcome this handicap. On the whole, the economic situation of the Jewish farmers in Canada is on a sound foundation. According to the census of 1911, for the nine settlements under the supervision of the ICA the assets of the 390 farmers aggregate a total of $1,297,531. Their liabilities at the same time were $344,106, making the net assets $953,425, or an average of $2445 per farmer. The educational and communal life in the Canadian settlements is fairly satisfactory. The Government provides rural schools in any settlement having twelve children of school age, and school districts cannot exceed five miles square. Easy access to schools for the children of Jewish settlers is therefore the rule. Beligious education is looked after by a Hebrew teacher, who is usually also a Shohet and general ritual practitioner. In the rural districts where the farmers are unable to provide their own Hebrew education, they are subsidized in part by the ICA. Some of the colonies have built synagogues in which provision has been made for libraries and recreation halls for lectures and debates. AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK 54 With the exception of the first two or three colonies, the Jewish settlements in. Canada are not colonies in the same sense as those, for example, in Palestine, Argentine, or Eussia. Most of the settlements were created by the settlers themselves, who of their own initiative took up Government land, and whatever assistance they may have received from outside sources came after they had already established themselves. Besides these groups of Government homesteaders there are a number of Jewish farmers on purchased individual farms in the eastern provinces of the Dominion. Until 1901 the affairs of the Jewish Colonization Association in Canada were in the hands of the Young Men's Hebrew Benevolent Society, of Montreal. They were then turned over to the Jewish Agricultural and Industrial Aid Society of New York, which was in charge of the ICA's Canadian agricultural work until 1907. Educational and other work continued to be conducted by the Benevolent Society. To consolidate the work under Canadian auspices a new committee was formed in Montreal, known as the Jewish Colonization Association Committee, which has since been in charge of all the activities—including the agricultural—of the Jewish Colonization Association in Canada. Following are the statistics of the Jewish farmers in Canada for the year 1911: No. of No. of fami- souls Acreage lies Colonies u n d e r supervision of the ICA : Western Canada Eastern Canada Colonies not under ICA'a supervision Total 390 53 1281 341 385 1860 828 3483 Assets 77,994 11,297,531 76,720 6,440 Liabilities $344,106 83,000 51,900 136,334 $1,374,251 $376,106 AGRICULTURAL ACTIVITIES OF JEWS IN AMERICA 55 THE UNITED STATES The Jewish population in the United States has been estimated as in excess of two millions. In this it stands second only to Kussia, which has a Jewish population of more than six millions. However important and extensive Jewish immigration to other lands may be, it cannot soon compare with that to the United States. This country presents to the Jewish immigrant far greater opportunities in every field of human endeavor—professional, industrial, commercial, and, last but not least, agricultural—than any other place to which fate has as yet directed his steps. It is, therefore, meet and proper that the discussion of the Jewish agricultural movement in the United States should be detailed at length, since its importance is quite out of keeping with the numbers engaged in it. Its significance is mainly due to the potentialities presented and to the spontaneity of its remarkable growth during the last decade. Organized and artificial stimulus ceased at an early period, and the movement has become one by the people. Such organizations as are engaged in fostering it are only acting in the capacity of advisers; merely lending assistance and giving direction to it. The movement of the Jews in the United States toward the farm has gone beyond the capacity of any organization or any number of organizations to control. The most that these organizations can accomplish is to follow the lead set by the immigrants themselves and to cooperate with them as far as the means at their command will permit. EARLIEST AGRICULTURAL EFFORTS In the very earliest period of American history, and even as far back as colonial days, Jews were known to have engaged in agriculture in various parts of the country. Abraham de Lyon 56 AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK brought the wine and silk culture from Portugal to Georgia. Other Jews in that State were engaged in the production of indigo, rice, corn, tobacco, and cotton. In many parts of the South the cotton plantations were largely in the hands of Jews. To-day the number of Jews engaged in agriculture as a pastime—gentlemen farmers—and those engaged in it commercially, such as the planters and ranchers in the South and West, runs into the thousands. However, they are entirely outside of the scope of the present discussion, and we shall, therefore, confine ourselves exclusively to the early history, trials, failures, and successes of the Jewish farmers who have taken up farming as their life's vocation, who perform all the manual labor, and who depend upon the farm as their sole means of gaining their livelihood, and look upon it as their permanent home. ARARAT.—The first effort at planting a Jewish agricultural colony in the United States was made by Major Mordecai Manuel Noah. In 1820 Major Noah, a Philadelphian by birth, who as Revolutionary soldier and later as Consul General at Tunis had rendered signal service to his country, interested a number of public-spirited men in a project to found a Jewish colony on Grand Island in the Niagara River. About 17,000 acres of land were purchased, and the proposed colony was appropriately named Ararat, " a City of Refuge for the Jews." This movement, however, was premature. Jewish immigration at that time from Eastern Europe was insignificant, and the movement died a natural death. Its remains, in the shape of the corner-stone of a monument placed in 1825, now repose in the Buffalo Historical Museum. SHALOM.—In 1837 an attempt was made by several Russian Jewish immigrants living in New York, to take up farming of AGRICULTURAL ACTIVITIES OP JEWS IN AMERICA 57 their own initiative under the leadership of Moses Cohen. Individual farms were purchased at Wawarsing, Ulster County, New York, and the little settlement was named Shalom. It grew until it had thirteen families. With no knowledge of farming, with very little funds of their own, and no encouragement from outside, these pioneers found it impossible to exist on their farms, and in 1842 the settlement came to an end. The time was not yet ripe, but the seed was not sown in vain, for Wawarsing now has a number of thriving Jewish farmers. THE BEGINNING OF THE PRESENT MOVEMENT The real beginning of the Jewish agricultural movement in the United States is contemporaneous with the influx of Jewish immigration which was set in motion by the reign of lawlessness and persecution that swept over Eastern Europe in the early eighties of the last century. In 1881 a pogrom took place in Kieff and vicinity in Russia, and many of our coreligionists were obliged to abandon everything and flee for their lives. With the little ready money they had, the most they could do was to cross the Austrian frontier, and thousands of families were left stranded in the city of Brody, in the province of Galicia. The Austrian Government threatened to send the starving refugees back unless the situation was relieved immediately. The Alliance Israelite Universelle came to the rescue, and assisted aboiit fifteen hundred of the refugees to emigrate to the United States. They landed without money and without any visible means of support, and the Russo-Jewish Committee was hastily formed to look after them. Similar committees were organized in Vienna, Berlin, Frankfort, and other European cities, the best known and the most active of which was the Mansion House Committee of London. 58 AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK The American Jews were ill prepared for such an influx, and it was found advisable to organize a society to take the matter in charge. The Hebrew Emigrant Aid Society of the United States was therefore organized, with Henry S. Henry, president; D. L. Einstein and Frederick Nathan, vice-presidents; Joseph Eeckendorfer, treasurer, and Julius Goldman, secretary. Among the other trustees were included many of the leading Jews of New York and other cities. The Articles of Incorporation of this society stated the purpose of the organization to be in part " to afford aid and advice to emigrants of the Hebrew faith coming to the United States from countries where they have suffered by reason of oppressive laws or hostile populace, to afford aid and advice to emigrants desiring the help of the society in settling in the United States upon lands of the society, or otherwise." " Many of these people," states the report of the Hebrew Emigrant Aid Society for 1882, " desired to become agriculturists on their own land, but the funds at our disposal were altogether inadequate to provide largely for such colonization. In a tentative way and desirous of meeting the earnest entreaties of some anxious to be placed, we have ventured on founding a colony in Cotopaxi, Colorado, composed now of about seventeen families, at an expense of $10,233.57." The same year that society started another colony of sixty-seven families at Vineland, New Jersey, involving an expenditure of about $400 per family. This is the well-known colony of Alliance. The society also had under consideration a number of plans for other settlements of the refugees on Government land or on land to be acquired from the great railway corporations. The society, however, was unable to carry all its plans into effect for the lack of funds. AGRICULTURAL ACTIVITIES OF JEWS IN AMERICA 59 A number of the immigrants came from agricultural districts, and it was only natural that " back to the soil" should have become their motto as well as that of their well wishers. A period of feverish colonization activity ensued. Colonies were started throughout the country, from the Dakotas in the North to Louisiana in the South, and from New Jersey in the Bast to California in the West, without any well-conceived plan or forethought. Merchants, professional men, and students of the universities, sacrificed wealth, station, and friends, to return to a more primitive and more simple life. The result was a foregone conclusion. It is needless to go into the detailed histories of the numberless colonies that enjoyed a shortlived existence during that period. They all went through the same experience—a premature birth, a brief struggle, and a more or less violent death. However, it is only fair to those early, though unsuccessful, pioneers to give a brief sketch of the most important of these abortive colonies in order to discover, if possible, the reasons for their failures. LOUISIANA.—The first agricultural colony of Eussian Jews in the United States settled in 1881 on Sicily Island, Louisiana. This colony comprised a total of sixty families who came direct from Eussia under the leadership of Herman Eosenthal, a merchant of considerable means who had preceded them. The Alliance Israelite Universelle assisted the undertaking by granting a loan of $2800 through a New York Committee consisting of Myer S. Isaacs, Julius Goldman, M. Ellinger, Charles L. Bernheim, and Henry S. Henry. A tract of land, of about 5000 acres, was purchased at $8 an acre. The colony was in charge of a local committee of New Orleans Jews, of which Julius Weiss was chairman. Houses were built, live stock and 60 AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK farm implements purchased, and the work of cultivating the land began. Others came in, and the colonists numbered 173. The settlers worked with enthusiasm and with every promise of success. But in the spring of 1882 one of the Mississippi floods swept everything away, including houses, cattle, implements, and crops, and the colony became a matter of history. SOUTH DAKOTA.—Undaunted by the experience on Sicily Island, Herman Eosenthal took some of these colonists with him to South Dakota, where they located on Government land. The settlement, which was in Davison County, was named Cremieux, after Adolphe Cremieux, president of the Alliance Israelite Universelle. It was started with some twenty families, all of them with means of their own. Land was broken and seeded to wheat, barley, oats, rye, and flax. The first year the land yielded good crops, and the situation looked promising. The second year the hessian fly destroyed the wheat crop. Then came the drought, which played havoc with the live stock. The settlers were obliged to mortgage their farms at excessive rates of interest. Most of them became discouraged and left. A few persevered. The third year the standing crops were destroyed by the hail. Continued drought and terrible hardships drove the remaining settlers away, and in 1885 the colony went to pieces. COLORADO.—In 1882 the Hebrew Emigrant Aid Society of New York started a colony of thirteen families, numbering fifty persons, on Government land in Cotopaxi, Fremont County, Colorado, thirty-five miles west of Canon City. Julius Schwarz, the superintendent of the colony, in his report (October 23, 1882) said among other things, " I pronounce the agricultural colony in the Eocky Mountains a full and complete success, and the question whether Jews are fit to become AGRICULTURAL ACTIVITIES OF JEWS IN AMERICA 61 farmers, solved and answered in the affirmative." But the colony was located in the arid region, and the cultivation of the land without irrigation was not possible. Except in the spring, when the mountain torrents became a menace to life and property, there was little or no water to be had. After many privations the settlers dispersed, and the colony met the same fate as the others. OREGON.—The same year the socialist colony of New Odessa was founded in Douglas County, Oregon. The settlers, who called themselves " Sons of the Free," came from southwestern Russia. The colony was located in the midst of a virgin forest. The settlers planned to make a living from the sale of ties and firewood to the railroad, which was then in process of construction, until they could clear enough land to put under cultivation. While the work on the railroad continued, some of the colonists were employed on the road. They also received high prices for whatever they could raise. But when the road was finished, the colonists not only could find no work, but also lost their market. By 1888 nothing was left of this colony. NORTH DAKOTA.-—In 1882 some twenty families settled on free Government homesteads in Burleigh County, North Dakota, near Painted Woods, on the Missouri River. The colony grew to seventy-one families, numbering over two hundred souls. But here, too, continued droughts, coupled with prairie fires in the winter of 1884-1885, wiped out everything the colonists possessed. The Jewish community of St. Paul came to their relief, but another severe crop failure in 1886 made the situation hopeless. The colonists were unable to hold out any longer and eventually gave up the struggle. Some of them, however, went farther north, and founded the Iola settlement at Devil's Lake in Ramsey County, which is to-day the oldest Jewish farming settlement in the Northwest. 62 AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK KANSAS.—The Jewish community of Cincinnati founded a colony in Hodgeman County, Kansas, which they named Beersheba. About the same time the Montefiore Agricultural Aid Society of New York foimded three colonies in the same State —Moses Montefiore, Lasker, and Hebron. In 1886 three other settlements—Gilead, Touro, and Leeser—were started by immigrants from Russia and Eoumania. The conditions in the Kansas colonies differed little from those founded in the other States, and they very naturally fared no better. SOUTH JERSEY COLONIES.—These brief sketches of the colonies whose histories can be written only in the past tense in no way exhaust the number of unsuccessful, though earnest, efforts at Jewish colonization during the period. Numerous other colonies were started in the same and other States only to meet a like fate. The only survivors of that period of " storm and stress" are the colonies founded in the southern part of New Jersey—Alliance, Rosenhayn, and Carmel—better known as the South Jersey Colonies. These colonies are located in the counties of Salem and Cumberland within a triangle formed by the cities of Vineland, Millville, and Bridgeton, about thirtyfive miles south of Philadelphia. A comparison between the colonies that survived and those that met with disaster sheds considerable light on the causes of the failures Jewish colonization has to record. The most obvious cause is the injudicious selection of the land. It seems to have made little difference where the colonies were located— in a virgin forest, a malarial swamp, or an arid desert. Add to this inadequate financing and the lack of agricultural knowledge and of transportation and marketing facilities, and it is easy to see that, barring miracles, success was an impossibility. The South Jersey Colonies succeeded because the soil, climate, AGRICULTURAL ACTIVITIES OF JEWS IN AMERICA 63 and other conditions, though far from perfect, were superior to those of the other colonies. Moreover, their proximity to Philadelphia and New York provided them not only with a market for their products but also tended to keep them before the Jewish public, and thus obtained for them the necessary financial support to tide them over the trying periods. We shall confine ourselves here to the early history of these colonies, leaving their later history and present conditions to be treated together with the general condition of the Jewish farmers throughout the United States. Alliance.—The first of the South Jersey Colonies was founded on May 10, 1882, by the Hebrew Emigrant Aid Society. It was named Alliance in honor of the Alliance Israelite Universelle, which contributed the sum of $3000 toward the founding of the colony. The first group of colonists comprised sixty-seven families, numbering about three hundred souls. These settlers hailed from almost every city in southern Eussia, but mainly from Odessa, Kieff, and Blizabetgrad. An option was secured on a tract of about eleven hundred acres of land, which was surveyed and divided into plots of ten acres. The land was completely covered by a dense growth of scrub oak and pine. The work of clearing the land and cultivating the soil began at once under the guidance of an experienced native farmer. They also proceeded with the erection of houses, and the colonists were meanwhile lodged in three large buildings, which they humorously named Castle Garden, erected to provide temporary shelter. The total cost of this, the Vineland Colony, as it was then called, was $41,960.42, of which $12,129.92 was for land and equipment, $9,897.77 for houses, and the balance for maintenance and relief. 64 AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK Meanwhile, in 1883, there was a lull in the arrival of refugees, and the Hebrew Emigrant Aid Society dissolved. It was succeeded by the Alliance Land Trust, which was formed for the purpose of taking over and conserving the property and the funds of the dissolved corporation, and to look after the interests of the Alliance Colony. Among the trustees were Henry S. Henry, Isaac Eppinger, Leopold Gershell, M. Mendel, Leonard Lewisohn, and the Eev. T. de Sola Mendes. The Alliance Land Trust is still in existence, and retains its interests in the Alliance Colony, although it has done no active work for a number of years. After the houses were completed, two of the barracks were torn down. The remaining one was converted into a cigar factory in order to provide the new settlers with an opportunity of earning a living until they could see some rettirns from their land. This infant industry, established in what was practically a wilderness, did not enjoy a long existence. It was replaced by a shirt f actory, which lasted less than a year. The hardships suffered by these colonists would be difficult to depict. Some of them had to travel with their wives and children several miles on foot to find work with non-Jewish farmers. After toiling all day they returned home as late as midnight, only to start out again in the small hours of the morning. This was the critical period in the history of the Alliance Colony, and it was mainly through the energetic efforts of public-spirited Jews from New York and Philadelphia, notably Alfred T. Jones and Simon Muhr of the latter city, that the colony was rescued from the fate that befell its contemporaries. The timely aid eventually bore fruit, and many of the colonists were enabled to make considerable progress on their farms. This brought the colony to the favorable attention of the Mansion House AGRICULTURAL ACTIVITIES OF JEWS IN AMERICA 65 Committee of London, which placed the sum of $10,000 in the hands of the Alliance Land Trust, making it possible to secure for the colonists deeds to their farms, -which theretofore they had only held under contract. Following are the statistics of the Alliance Colony for the year 1889: Population (souls) Land owned (acres) Under cultivation (acres) Houses Barns Horses Cows 529 1400 889 92 63 32 59 RosenTiayn.—The history of the Rosenhayn Colony likewise began in 1882, when six families were settled by the Hebrew Emigrant Aid Society. They set to work clearing the land and erecting houses. But in addition to suffering the many hardships attendant upon pioneering, the colonists soon found themselves without funds. Their appeals for aid did not meet with success, and they were compelled to abandon their project and leave the place. In 1887, however, when the success of the Alliance Colony became known, several other families repaired to Rosenhayn and contracted for some land. They continued to live and work in the city until they could earn enough to pay for their land and start farming operations. The following year thirty-seven other families bought land under similar conditions. A large building, called " The Hotel," near the railroad station was rented and converted into a shirt factory, where many of the colonists found employment. As the colonists were obliged to work away from their farms, progress was necessarily slow. But the colonists worked assiduously, and gave as much attention to their farms as they could. 66 AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK The condition of the colony in 1889, as it appears from the statistics for that year, shows some progress even at that early date: Number of families Population (souls) Land (acres) Under cultivation (acres) Houses Barns Horses Cows 67 294 1912 261 23 12 12 14 Carmel.—In 1882, Michael Heilprin, aided by sympathetic friends in New York, among them Jacob H. Schiff, Jesse Seligman, and Julius Hallgarten, settled seventeen families at Carmel on lands previously occupied by a number of German families, who had abandoned their holdings and returned to Philadelphia. Some of the new settlers succumbed to the ordeal of the first two years' privations. But these were soon replaced by more vigorous settlers from among later comers among the Eussian refugees. When these had become fairly established, new arrivals began to swell the number of settlers. The sudden death of Michael Heilprin deprived the colonists of their best friend. Such organized support as remained was devoted to fostering the growth of Alliance. To avoid the imminent danger of the settlement's failing for want of a temporary helping hand, an appeal was made through the Eev. Sabato Morais of Philadelphia to Baron de Hirsch, who sent $5000 for distribution among the colonists. The money was allotted to the settlers in various amounts, in accordance with recommendations made by Moses Klein, the agent of the Jewish Emigration Society, of Philadelphia, who had been detailed to make a thorough investigation of the needs of each individual colonist. The timely aid thus obtained prevented the disintegration of the Carmel Colony. AGRICULTURAL ACTIVITIES OF JEWS IN AMERICA 67 The statistics of Carmel for the year 1889, as contained in a report made by Moses Klein, on February 17 of that year, were as follows: Population (souls) Land (acres) Under cultivation (acres) Houses Barns Horses Cows 286 848 247 30 25 11 11 The same year fifteen hundred acres of land were added to the original tract of 848, and thirty-six new houses were erected, making the total acreage owned by the colonists 2348 and the number of houses 66. A sidelight on the economic progress of the colonists in 1889 is their contribution of $47 for the sufferers of the Johnstown Flood. T H E BARON DE HIRSCH FUND The failures attending the many well-meant but not too welldirected efforts at colonization had a most depressing effect, and general interest in the agricultural movement began to decline. The ease with which our country was able to absorb the thousands of immigrants and the capacity of these immigrants to adapt themselves to new conditions likewise served to chill the enthusiasm of those who looked upon the land as the only solution of the immigration problem. In 1889 a renewal of persecution of the Jews in Eussia caused immigration from that country to the United States to assume larger proportions. Through the good offices of Oscar S. Straus, Baron de Hirsch, foreseeing the important role the United States was destined to play in the regeneration of his people, offered to establish a special fund of $2,400,000, the 68 AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK income of which was to be applied to improving the condition of Jewish immigrants driven from their homes through political and religious oppression. On February 12,1891, the Baron de Hirsch Fund was incorporated under the laws of the State of New York, with Meyer S. Isaacs, president; Jacob H. Schiff, vice-president; Jesse Seligman, treasurer; Julius Goldman, secretary, and Henry Eice, James H. Hoffman, Oscar S. Straus, of New York, and Mayer Sulzberger and William B. Hackenburg, of Philadelphia, as the other trustees. The aims of this new organization were broad and comprehensive. They covered almost everyfieldof human activity tending to make the Jewish immigrants in this country self-supporting and self-respecting American citizens. After the pressure for immediate relief had been lifted, the Baron de Hirsch Fund was in a position to develop its plans for work of a constructive character. With the creation of the Fund, the agricultural movement gained a new lease of life. It took hold of the remnants of the work of its predecessors and kept them from disintegration. The encouragement of agriculture was one of its most important activities. Under its guidance, Jewish agriculture has made considerable progress. The Woodbine Colony was founded in 1891. Individual Jewish farmers were also assisted to locate upon abandoned farms in Connecticut and other States. T H E JEWISH AGRICULTURAL AND INDUSTRIAL AID SOCIETY The object of the Baron de Hirsch Fund, we have seen, was the improvement of the condition of the Jewish immigrant by helping him to adjust himself to his new environment. The attainment of this end necessitated a multiplicity of activities. While the encouragement of agriculture was one of them, the AGRICULTURAL ACTIVITIES OF JEWS IN AMERICA 69 field of the Baron de Hirsch Fund was more comprehensive. In order, therefore, to bring the agricultural work to a higher state of efficiency, it was deemed advisable to entrust this very important task to a distinct organization. Accordingly, on February 19, 1900, the Jewish Agricultural and Industrial Aid Society was incorporated, with Julius Goldman, president; Morris Loeb, vice-president; Sigmund Neustadt, treasurer; and Eugene S. Benjamin, secretary. All agricultural matters in charge of the Baron de Hirsch Fund were immediately turned over to the newly-organized Society. The funds of the Society are contributed in part by the Jewish Colonization Association and in part by the Baron de Hirsch Fund. In the contribution of the latter is included a legacy of the Baroness de Hirsch. The objects of the new Society, as expressed in its Articles of Incorporation, were: 1. The encouragement and direction of agriculture among Jews, residents of the United States, principally immigrants from Russia, Roumania, and Galicia, the removal of such persons dwelling in the crowded sections of cities to agricultural and industrial districts, and provision for their temporary support. 2. The grant of loans to mechanics, artisans, and tradesmen, to enable them to secure larger earnings and accumulate savings for the acquisition of homes in suburban, agricultural, and industrial districts. 3. The removal of industries now pursued in tenements or shops in crowded sections of the cities, by aiding manufacturers and contractors to transfer their shops and business to agricultural and industrial districts where their employees may continue to labor and acquire individual homes. 4. The encouragement of cooperative creameries and factories and of storage houses for canning and preserving fruit and vegetables and making wine. It can, therefore, be seen that the purpose of the Jewish Agricultural and Industrial Aid Society at its inception was not solely agricultural. In the course of time, however, industrial 70 AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK and other matters, which had at the beginning received considerable attention, assumed secondary importance. The Industrial Eemoval Office, which was organized in 1901 as a branch of the Society, and to which was entrusted the work of the removal of immigrants from the congested cities of the eastern sea-board to interior towns, was in 1903 placed under separate management under the direction of a special committee, and in 1907 it became an entirely separate and distinct organization. Since then the work of the Jewish Agricultural and Industrial Aid Society has been essentially agricultural, and the Society has become the strongest influence in the development of Jewish agriculture in the United States. LOANS.—The fundamental activity of the Jewish Agricultural and Industrial Aid Society is the rendering of financial assistance to those desiring to become farmers and to enable those who are already on the farm to maintain their foothold. This financial assistance consists of the granting of loans for the purchase of the farm, for equipment, or other urgent needs. The rate of interest charged is 4 per cent, and the principal is repayable in easy installments. In its essentials the credit system of the Jewish Agricultural and Industrial Aid Society differs little, if at all, from that of the Credit Foncier of France and other agrarian banks—purely business institutions—which have met with so much success in Continental Europe. But here the difference becomes marked. The Society's funds being limited, it does not as a rule make a loan where the funds are elsewhere obtainable. It rarely, therefore, makes loans on first mortgage. Most of its loans are on second mortgage, and not a few on third and occasionally even on fourth mortgages, supplemented sometimes by chattel mortgage or other collateral. The Society loans up to 75 per cent of the value of the farm, although AGRICULTURAL ACTIVITIES OF JEWS IN AMERICA 71 in special oases it has loaned even beyond the farm value. According to its report for the year 1911 it had granted during the twelve years of its existence 2178 loans, amounting to $1,256,114.05. These loans were made to 1950 families, occupying 1675 farms, in 27 States and Canada. The loans average $500. Considering that the security taken by the Society is mainly substandard, it speaks well for the Jewish farmer as a debtor when it is shown that the repayments during the same period amounted to 26 per cent of the total loaned, and the losses to less than 3 per cent. The total loans of this Society outstanding in 1911 amounted to $686,657.13. The assistance rendered by the Jewish Agricultural and Industrial Aid Society to the Jewish farmer is not confined to the granting of loans. Its most difficult task is to locate the new farmer on a farm that is suitable to his means, and answers his other requirements. It also buys desirable farms in selected localities, which it sells at cost and on easy terms. The new farmer is frequently assisted in selecting his horses, cows, implements, and other equipment. A plan of work is then outlined for him, and he is shown how to utilize each plot of land to the best advantage. Again, in order to bring within the reach of the Jewish farmer a knowledge of at least the rudiments of his vocation, the Society entered upon a comprehensive educational campaign, which has aided considerably in placing the Jewish farmer in the United States upon a solid foundation. In fact, the non-financial assistance rendered to the Jewish farmer, whether he has had any business dealings with the Society or not, is in some respects of greater importance than the financial. " THE JEWISH FARMER."—The first of the educational activities of the Society was the publication of the Jewish 72 AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK Farmer, which has the distinction of being the only agricultural paper in Yiddish in the world. It is an illustrated magazine, and is published monthly. It made its first appearance in May, 1908. The aim of this paper is, to quote from the report of the Society for 1908, " to provide for the non-English reading Jewish farmer expert advice on agricultural subjects not otherwise available; to supply him with a publication to which he can turn for sympathy and encouragement; to furnish him with a medium for the expression of his feelings and aspirations ; and to bring him inspiration through keeping him in touch with his fellow tillers of the soil." The circulation of the paper is about 5000 and covers every State of the Union and fifteen foreign countries. ITINERANT INSTRUCTION.—A system of itinerant instruction was inaugurated the same year. At the head of the system is the editor of the Jewish Farmer. The most important Jewish farming communities are visited periodically, and lectures on timely topics are delivered by the staff of the Jewish Farmer and others. Personal visits are also made to the farmers and instruction is thus supplemented by what might properly be called individual laboratory or field work conducted under competent supervision by the farmer on his own farm. This corresponds in a measure to the system of Wanderlehrer in Germany and other countries of Continental Europe. It also corresponds to the Farmers' Institutes conducted by the American Agricultural Colleges, and the " Good Farming Trains " inaugurated by some of the railroads. FREE SCHOLARSHIPS.—To make the child of the Jewish farmer an important factor in the economy of the parental farm and to implant in him a love for the soil, the Jewish Agricultural and Industrial Aid Society instituted in 1908 a sys- AGRICULTURAL ACTIVITIES OF JEWS IN AMERICA 73 tern of free scholarships, by aid of which the children of Jewish farmers are enabled to attend the special short courses offered by the agricultural colleges of their respective States. These courses are given during the winter months when the absence of the children from the farm does not materially interfere with farming operations. The duration of the courses is from six to twelve weeks, and the stipend carried by the scholarship covers all the necessary expenses of the scholar. The scholarships are awarded by competition. In 1911 the number of scholarships awarded was twenty-two, of which fourteen were won by boys and eight by girls. Not a year passes that the scholars do not carry off some of the most coveted prizes offered by the colleges which they attend. In the New Jersey College, for example, out of five prizes awarded in 1911 for poultry judging, three were carried off by holders of the Society's free scholarships. The influence of these scholars on their home farms and on the communities in which they live is considerable. FARM LABOR BUREAU.—The Jewish Agricultural and Industrial Aid Society also organized a Farm Labor Bureau in 1908. In 1911 this bureau secured positions as farm hands for 612 Jewish young men in seventeen States of the Union. The total number placed since the inception of this activity is over two thousand. The purpose of the Farm Labor Bureau is primarily educational. Its object is to give the Jewish young man an opportunity of learning something at least of practical farming and incidentally to find out for himself whether he is fit for it by inclination or otherwise. The advantages of such a preliminary trial to those contemplating becoming farmers are obvious and this is the object of not a few of those who seek such employment. Some of them have some capital which 74 AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK they are ready to invest in farms of their own as soon as they gain the desired experience. The Jewish farm laborer is very much in demand. Whatever deficiencies may be his on account of his inexperience, he apparently more than makes them up by his intelligence, steadiness, and sobriety. He saves his money with1 a view to getting a little farm of his own in time. He does not drink, is not quarrelsome, and attends strictly to business. To the American farmer, who has had some very unfortunate experiences with the average quality of farm labor, the Jewish farm laborer is somewhat of a pleasant anomaly. T H E JEWISH AGRICULTURISTS' AID SOCIETY OF AMERICA Another Society established to encourage agriculture among Jews in the United States is the Jewish Agriculturists' Aid Society of America, with headquarters in Chicago. Although this Society was not incorporated until 1900, its organization dates back to October 28, 1888, when, through the efforts of Eabbi A. R. Levy, a committee was formed with the object of helping poor Jews to locate upon farms. The committee consisted of Adolph Loeb, president; Rabbi Emil G-. Hirsch, vicepresident; Herman Felsenthal, treasurer; and Rabbi A. R. Levy, secretary. The committee had no permanent funds at its disposal. It depended entirely upon its friends to furnish the money in each specific case when needed. In this manner some seventy families were assisted in settling upon farms in the Middle Western States and in North Dakota, and the amount thus loaned aggregated over $35,000. The work of looking to individuals to make the loan in each instance was a rather slow and difficult process. The number of applicants for assistance also kept on increasing. It was, AGRICULTURAL ACTIVITIES OF JEWS IN AMERICA 75 therefore, decided to have a permanent loan fund, and in 1900 the Jewish Agriculturists' Aid Society of America was incorporated. To create the loan fund " Certificates of Credit," something like debenture bonds, were offered for subscription to the friends of the cause. These certificates are issued in denominations of $10 and upwards, and are redeemable after ten years. They bear interest at the rate of 3 per cent. The " Loan Fund " can be used only for the granting of loans to Jewish farmers. The expenses of carrying on the work of the Society is defrayed from its General Fund, consisting of voluntary contributions, or donations, and membership dues. The annual membership payment is $10. The membership of the Society in 1901 numbered 67, and the outstanding Certificates amounted to $4700. During the same year twenty-three loans were made, amounting to $9500. Of these thirteen, amounting to $3770, were made by individuals; seven, amounting to $2930, by the Society from its loan fund; and three, amounting to $2800, by the Jewish Agricultural and Industrial Aid Society of New York. From the very outset this Society received the hearty cooperation of the New York Society, which took over, between the years 1900 and 1909, a total of sixty-three loans, aggregating $30,703.15, so as to provide it with ready funds for carrying on its work. The New York Society also placed various amounts at its disposal for the granting of loans as the agent of that Society. According to the last published report (1908) of the Jewish Agriculturists' Aid Society of America, it had a membership that year of 413, and the Credit Certificates in circulation amounted to $47,215. Since 1888 it has assisted financially or otherwise over four hundred Jewish families to settle on farms, most of them on free Government homesteads in North Dakota. 76 AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK Recently, however, the Society has been laboring under the disadvantages of the lack of funds, and has, as a result, not been very active. GROWTH OF JEWISH FARMING IN THE UNITED STATES Most of the early efforts at Jewish colonization having proved abortive, Jewish farming in the United States was, as a consequence, practically at a standstill for a time. With the exception of Woodbine, the Baron de Hirsch Fund made no attempt at founding now colonies. It confined its agricultural activity to the preservation of the South Jersey Colonies and to assisting a handful of individual farmers who located in the eastern part of Connecticut. With the creation of a Society devoting itself almost exclusively to agricultural work a new era was ushered in. The field of agricultural activity became national in scope, and to-day there is not a State in Avhich Jews cannot be found as tillers of the soil. To state with any degree of accuracy how many Jewish farmers there are in the United States is not possible. The vast extent of the country and the settling of many enterprising Jewish pioneers in the remotest sections makes the compilation of an adequate census physically impossible. However, the Jewish Agricultural and Industrial Aid Society has, according to its latest statistics, come in touch with 3718 Jewish farming families, comprising an estimated population of 18,590 souls. These figures, though accurate as far as they go, are far from complete and, I believe, represent not much more than half of the Jewish farming population in the United States.

The estimate of persons is made on the basis of five to the 78 AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK family, which is a fraction below the average of the families assisted by the Jewish Agricultural and Industrial Aid Society. The estimate of acreage and value are based on the averages given in the United States Census of 1910. In some States the acreage owned by Jewish farmers and the value of their farms will doubtless fall below the averages given in the Census. On the other hand, in some States they will exceed the average. On the whole, authentic data in possession of the Jewish Agricultural and Industrial Aid Society indicate that the figures given in the footings are about correct. Of course, only Jewish farmers doing their own work, to whom the farm is both a home and a means of livelihood, are included in the figures. The number of Jewish farming families given here comprises only those with whom the Jewish Agricultural and Industrial Aid Society has come in touch in one way or another, and, according to the opinion of the United States Immigration Commission, represents only about 75 per cent of the Jewish farmers in the country. A fair estimate of the extent of Jewish farming in the United States would therefore be about 5000 families, comprising a population of about 25,000 souls. To carry this estimate further, the number of farms occupied by these farmers would be about 4600, with an acreage of about 600,000 and a value in real and personal property of about $33,000,000. That Jewish agriculture in the United States does not depend entirely on philanthropy is indicated by the fact that the total outstanding loans of the two philanthropic organizations engaged in this work is about $730,000, or 2.2 per cent of the total valuation of the property owned by Jewish farmers. It should likewise not be overlooked that the actual growth of Jewish farming has taken place only during the latter part of the last decade. AGRICULTURAL ACTIVITIES OF JEWS IN AMERICA 79 AGRICULTURAL SETTLEMENTS With the exception of the South Jersey Colonies and Woodbine, Jewish farming colonies similar to those in Palestine, Russia, and Argentine are not to be found in the United States. The brief period of feverish colonization activity once over, concerted effort ceased, and the Jewish agricultural movement assumed an individualistic character. After the disruption of some of the early colonies the settlers scattered all over the country, and some of these pioneers located on isolated farms in various States. Here and there also, a Jewish immigrant or two, tired of the city, on their own initiative purchased a farm or settled on free Government land. Subsequently, relatives, friends, and others were attracted to the same neighborhood. Thus the isolated spots that these daring spirits selected, wisely or unwisely, mark the foundation of most of the Jewish farming settlements in the United States. Beginning as they did, the growth of the settlements was necessarily slow. It was not always possible for the newcomers to find farms contiguous to those of their friends who preceded them, and consequently the Jewish farmers, even in the same vicinity, were more or less scattered. Gradually, however, through the process of elimination gaps were closed up, and many of the groups reached a sufficient degree of compactness to be properly classed as settlements. While Jewish farmers are to be found in every part of the United States, the most important settlements are those in New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, and Massachusetts in the East; Ohio and Michigan in the Middle West; and North Dakota in the Northwest. Jewish farming settlements are also to be found in many other States and scattered individual farmers in every State of the Union. 6 80 AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK NEW YORK.—The bulk of the Jewish farmers in New York is to be found in the counties of Sullivan, Ulster, and Eensselaer. The earliest attempt to settle in this State, as we have seen, was made in 1837, when two or three Jewish families from New York City bought farms in Wawarsing, Ulster County. But only within the last few years has the Jewish immigrant again turned his eyes to the foothills of the Catskills. The counties of Sullivan and Ulster, because of their salubrious climate, have always had a special attraction for the Jew. The farms are chiefly of large acreage, and the land, as a rule, is somewhat stony and hilly. It affords very good pasturage, and is capitally adapted to dairying. When the Jewish farmer began his invasion of this section, the markets were poor and the keeping of boarders was an economic necessity. This worked both ways. The farmer had to keep boarders to provide a market for his products, and to raise more products to feed his boarders. However, the coming of large hotels and boarding houses, and the increase in the urban population in these counties, have provided a good market for all kinds of farm products, and the need of keeping boarders is becoming less urgent. There are, consequently, many farmers who keep no boarders, and there is a decided movement on the part of those who do, to devote more attention to their farms. It might be said in passing that the keeping of boarders is in no wise an exclusively Jewish institution. There is more farming and less boarding-house keeping done on some Jewish farms than on those of their neighbors. Dairying is the most important branch of farming pursued. Poultry and vegetables are also favorites with these farmers. The demand for these products during the summer season by AGRICULTURAL ACTIVITIES OF JEWS IN AMERICA 81 hotels and boarding-houses exceeds the supply. As will be seen later, the Jewish farmers in these counties are grouped chiefly around Livingston Manor, Parksville, Ferndale, Hurleyville, Monticello, Centerville, Mountaindale, Ellenville, Greenfield, and Kerhonkson. The village population is another element that is rapidly increasing in these two counties. Some of the bustling villages, such as Centerville and Parksville, have a population almost exclusively Jewish. Each settlement has its Jewish physician, lawyer, dentist, and druggist. In some of them the municipal government and school affairs are almost entirely in Jewish hands. The Jewish farming settlement in Eensselaer County is grouped around the village of Nassau, about twelve miles east of Albany. This settlement has the advantage of being connected by trolley with the large cities of Albany and Troy, besides being within comparatively easy reach of New York City by boat. The first Jewish farmer settled in this section in 1894, but the actual movement of Jewish farmers thither began some ten years ago. The land is well adapted to the raising of cereals, fruit, berries, and vegetables. The market and transportation facilities are excellent. The Jewish farmers are largely engaged in the raising of grain and in dairying, in which they have met with a fair measure of success. Most of the farmers in Eensselaer County started with little or no assistance from any source, and some of them are now well-to-do. The settlement has a live local farmers' association, and was one of the first to organize a cooperative credit union. Another and more recent settlement in this State is that in Onondaga County, about twelve miles from Syracuse. This settlement had its inception in 1907 through the purchase of a farm by one of the Jewish immigrants living in Syracuse. As 82 AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK usual, relatives and friends followed, and the settlement now comprises some twenty families. The section is in the alfalfa belt, and is one of the best farming sections in the State. The farms are rather large and expensive. The principal branch of farming pursued is dairying, some of the Jewish farmers having as many as forty or fifty cows. There is also a large number of scattered Jewish farmers in various parts of the State. Besides, there are on Long Island two settlements of dairymen, at New Lots, in the outskirts of Brooklyn, and at Queens, near Long Island City. These dairymen have little land. But they have large dairy herds, and do a profitable business selling their milk in Greater New York. NEW JERSEY.—Jewish farming in New Jersey began with the founding of the South Jersey Colonies in 1882. Sporadic attempts in this direction were also made in other parts of the State, but they were of no particular importance or significance. South Jersey Colonies.—In 1891, when the Baron de Hirsch Fund was organized, it assumed the care of the South Jersey Colonies. Besides loaning money to the farmers, it established industries to provide employment for the non-agricultural element as well as for the farmers and their children in off seasons. The Baron de Hirsch Fund, with the financial cooperation of the Jewish Colonization Association, continued to look after the Colonies until 1900, when all agricultural matters were transferred to the newly organized Jewish Agricultural and Industrial Aid Society. This Society continued the policy of its predecessor by extending financial aid to the farmers, building factories, and subsidizing industries. It also endeavored to raise the agricultural standards of the Colonies, to improve their educational facilities and to provide for their communal and social needs. Under its management, the AGRICULTURAL ACTIVITIES OF JEWS IN AMERICA 83 paternal supervision of the Colonies has heen gradually curtailed; industrial subventions have been systematically reduced, and the colonists have been encouraged, as far as possible, to be less dependent upon philanthropic aid both in their communal and their private life. These efforts have borne fruit, and the economic independence of the older Colonies is practically established. The soil around Vineland is a light sandy loam, and is well adapted for the raising of vegetables, berries, and grapes. The early season's crop is strawberries. Some of the Jewish farmers have as many as five or six acres in this crop, and realize as much as $300 per acre. Tomatoes are raised extensively, and are sold by the ton to the local canneries. The farmers find in the Vineland Grape Juice Company a good customer for their grapes, although many fanners make their own wine, which they sell in New York and other cities for the Passover and other holidays. The staple crop in the Colonies is sweet potatoes, which are shipped in carload lots to nearly every part of the United States, and which, when properly packed, command higher prices than the same product from other parts of the country. The Alliance Colony consists of three settlements—Alliance proper, which is purely agricultural, and the villages of Norma and Brotmanville, which are largely industrial. Rosenhayn and Carmel are also more or less industrial, but axe surrounded by a number of flourishing farms. The Alliance farmers are perhaps the most prosperous of any in the Colonies. They emerged from their experimental stage ahead of those in the sister Colonies, due probably to their earlier start and to the fact that greater effort was expended on Alliance in its early career. The progress of this colony is also doubtless due in a 84 AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK measure to the object lesson furnished by the Allivine Farm, owned by Maurice Fels, of Philadelphia. This farm is conducted on business lines according to the most approved scientific methods. Another institution which serves to promote the progress of Alliance is the cannery conducted by the Allivine Canning Company. It was built in 1901 by Maurice Fels in cooperation with the Jewish Agricultural and Industrial Aid Society. This cannery affords a ready market for various products, and has been an important factor in increasing the quantity and improving the quality of the products raised. Another cannery was built this year (1912) by the Jewish Agricultural and Industrial Aid Society, on the turnpike and trolley line running between Bridgeton and Millville, in the immediate vicinity of Carmel. It provides the Jewish farmers of Carmel and Rosenhayn with a nearer market for their products. This cannery has been leased to an experienced canner, who conducts it as a private enterprise. Two other settlements which are virtually a part of these Colonies are Garton Road and Six Points. Garton Road is two and a half miles west of Rosenhayn. It was started by a Russian immigrant in 1888, who purchased twenty acres of bush land near Woodruff on the Central Railroad of New Jersey. He was joined by some of his friends from the Colonies as well as from the neighboring city of Bridgeton. This settlement gradually grew, and now numbers about twenty-four Jewish farmers. It is entirely agricultural. The soil is somewhat better than in the Colonies, and the farmers have been successful almost from the start. Six Points was started in 1907 by the Jewish Agricultural and Industrial Aid Society. It bought several large farms about two miles from Brotman- AGRICULTURAL ACTIVITIES OF JEWS IN AMERICA 85 ville, and subdivided them into farms of twenty-five acres. The settlement numbers fifteen families. The educational and social advantages in the South Jersey Colonies, because of their comparative compactness and because of the interest taken in them by the Baron de Hirsch Fund and the Jewish Agricultural and Industrial Aid Society, are probably superior to those of any of the Jewish farming settlements in the United States. The latter Society established an educational bureau in 1901, which is under the supervision of a competent director. Columbia Hall in Carmel and Franklin Hall in Eosenhayn, which were built by the Society in 1902, are the centres of the social and educational life in these settlements. The halls are supplied with libraries, which are conducted by the residents, and with auditoriums for lectures, theatricals, dances, and other social functions. A similar hall, Washington Hall, was built in Garton Road, and the Norma Athletic Association, with the cooperation of the Society, is now building a club house at a cost of about $6000. In addition to the primary schools, a well-equipped intermediate school was built in Norma through the generous efforts of Maurice Fels, in which mental instruction is supplemented by manual training for the boys and domestic education for the girls. Children's gardens are also conducted by Maurice Fels in Alliance and by the Jewish Agricultural and Industrial Aid Society in the other colonies. Religious life in the Colonies is well provided for. One or more synagogues are to be found in each, and Carmel recently completed a handsome brick synagogue which cost about $5000. In addition to the local private teachers of Hebrew, the Jewish Chautauqua Society, in 1910, inaugurated a system of religious education in the Colonies, under a competent Rabbi. 86 AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK On the whole, it may be said that the situation of the South Jersey Colonies is satisfactory from every point of view. " This colony, or group of colonies," states the report of the United States Immigration Commission, " presents Hebrew agriculture in America at its best. Of the several colonies of Hebrews studied none shows greater apparent material prosperity, a more general dependence on agriculture for a livelihood, a more intelligent, resourceful husbandry, or a more wholesome community life, educationally, socially, or politically, in a large sense. There is no doubt that a great deal of material encouragement has been given, that many of the social and educational enterprises were conceived, organized, and supported by leaders without the community, and that cooperative business associations and marketing facilities were promoted by leaders who do not live in the settlements; but once established the colonists have entered into all these enterprises with some degree of interest and are beginning to support them. To all appearances the colonies near Vineland, N. J., are permanently established on the basis of a commercial agriculture adapted to the soil, climate, and demands of the market/' Woodbine.—One of the first constructive acts of the Baron de Hirsch Fund was the founding of the well-known Jewish settlement of Woodbine in 1891. After investigating sites in various parts of the country, the choice of the Trustees fell upon a tract of land in the northern part of Cape May County, New Jersey, fifty-six miles from Philadelphia and twenty-two miles south of Vineland. A tract of 5300 acres of land was purchased at a cost of $37,500. Of this area about 275 acres were laid out for a town site, and about 2000 acres surveyed into thirty acre farms. AGRICULTURAL ACTIVITIES OF JEWS IN AMERICA 87 Woodbine, like most of that part of New Jersey, was covered with a dense growth of scrub oak and pine. During the first year the families of the settlers were left in New York until some land could be cleared and buildings erected. The families arrived in 1892 and planting began. The work done by these pioneers was paid for by the Baron de Hirsch Fund and charged to the cost of the farms. In this way the settlers were enabled to earn a living while improving the farms allotted to them. The cost of the farms with the improvements amounted on the average to about $1000. As was to have been expected, not all of the fifty families remained. The hardships were enough to discourage the most optimistic and persevering. Agriculturally Woodbine has not made very great progress. The soil is rather sandy and poor and requires a large quantity of fertilizer to make it productive. There are now about thirty farmers in Woodbine, cultivating about five hundred acres. Woodbine might be classed as an agricultural-industrial colony. During the early period, when farming to any extent was a physical impossibility, it was found necessary, in order to enable the farmers and their children to make ends meet, to establish some industries where the surplus farming population could find employment. The industrial activities have made better progress than the agricultural, and Woodbine's industrial enterprises comprise a machine-shop employing about one hundred persons, two clothing-factories employing two hundred and fifty persons, a knitting-mill employing one hundred persons, besides a hat-factory and a box-factory. These industries are housed in brick buildings and equipped with the most modern machinery. In 1903 Woodbine was, by act of the legislature, separated from the township of Dennis and made a separate borough. 88 AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK Woodbine is unique in being the only municipality in the country in which all the offices are filled by Jews. It controls its own school system and has four schools, one of which, the central school, was built in 1906 at a cost of $15,000. This borough has the distinction of having had the first kindergarten in the county. Among other public buildings there are two synagogues, a Hebrew School (Talmud Torah), a public bath house, a hotel, a meeting hall, and the fire-house of the Volunteer Fire Brigade. Here also is located the Baron de Hirsch Agricultural School. The false assumption sometimes made that the industrial element of the Woodbine settlement exists by the bounty of the Baron de Hirsch Fund, extended in order to hide the failure of a great colonizing undertaking, is not borne out by the facts. The Baron de Hirsch Fund has performed the functions usually undertaken by a real estate development company, in laying out streets, building factories, power-house, water-works, etc.; but it has sedulously refrained from eleemosynary gifts, its altruistic purpose being expressed in the elimination of profit to itself, and in bearing all risks and administrative expenses. Woodbine is a prosperous town with sanitary factories, successfully conducted by business men as private enterprises, while paying good wages. There are now about three hundred comfortable homes, representing an investment of some $300,000, practically owned by their occupants, through the operations of thefivelocal building and loan associations. The many lodges, clubs, and societies for religious and intellectual improvement which flourish there, testify to the belief of the inhabitants in the permanency of the settlement. Northern New Jersey.—There are a number of scattered Jewish farmers in the northern part of New Jersey, but the AGRICULTURAL ACTIVITIES OF JEWS IN AMERICA 89 most important settlements are to be found in the counties of Middlesex, Monmouth, and Hunterdon. These are grouped chiefly around New Brunswick, Lakewood, Freehold, and Flemington. They are comparatively new, having grown up within the last ten years. With the exception of the Flemington settlement, which was started by the Jewish Agricultural and Industrial Aid Society, the growth of Jewish farming in Northern New Jersey has been spontaneous and gradual. The Flemington settlement was started in 1906 with three families. These farmers were graduates of the experimental farm (Test Farm) the Society was then conducting on Long Island. The Society continued adding to its holdings and by 1910 it acquired thirty-eight farms, aggregating 3262 acres, at a cost of $100,423.77. These were sold under contract to desirable candidates on easy terms. Practically all the farms in this vicinity occupied by Jews are, or were at one time, owned by the Society. The soil in Northern New Jersey is specially adapted to general farming. The farms, as a rule, are fairly large, and dairying is therefore one of the principal branches of farming conducted. There are a number of creameries and milk depots in the vicinity, where the farmers market their dairy products. Cereals, such as oats, rye, corn, and buckwheat, are the principal crops raised. Some of these sections are also adapted to peach growing, and have been for a number of years the leading peach producing localities in the State. In the Freehold district round potatoes are one of its staple products. The local markets in Northern New Jersey are good, and the farmers also have easy access to the New York market. The proximity of these sections to New York City, and their desirability as country homes, have tended to raise farm values. The farmers 90 AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK in this part of the State are progressive, and almost every settlement has an active, wideawake local farmers' association. CONNECTICUT.—In 1891 three Jewish families were sent by the United Hebrew Charities of New York City to work in one of the woolen mills in Norwich. Before the year was up they had saved a little money and, with the assistance of the Baron de Hirsch Fund, bought abandoned farms in the neighborhood. The following year another immigrant, Hayim Pankin, who was working in a mill in New London, bought a farm in Chesterfield, eight miles away, also with the assistance of the Baron de Hirsch Fund. Several Jewish immigrants were attracted to the neighborhood, and within a few months a settlement of twenty-eight Jewish families had sprung up. The Jewish farming settlement of Colchester also had its beginning in 1891. A number of Russian Jews who were working in the rubber mill in Colchester bought farms in the neighborhood. In the fall of that year several well-to-do immigrants from southern Russia, among them Alexis Pincus, also purchased farms in the vicinity. The settlement in the Hartford section was started in 1905. Most of the farmers are located near the town of Ellington, twelve miles from Hartford, with which it is connected by trolley. These settlers came from southern Russia, and were well supplied with means of their own. They bought more or less expensive farms, some costing as much as $10,000. There are now over a dozen well-defined groups of Jewish farmers in this State. The farms vary from very cheap abandoned farms costing in the neighborhood of $1000, to farms in a high state of cultivation with expensive buildings. The poorest farms are in the Berkshire region, while the best farms are in the fertile Connecticut River Valley. In all the settlements dairying is the most general branch of farming pursued. AGRICULTURAL ACTIVITIES OF JEWS IN AMERICA 91 The Hartford settlement is probably the most prosperous in the United States. In addition to the large dairy herds which some of the farmers keep, tobacco growing is carried on rather extensively. It is not uncommon for a Jewish farmer to realize as high as $6000 in one year from the sale of tobacco alone. Professor Alexander E. Cance, of the Massachusetts Agricultural College, in a recent article in the Survey on the Jewish farmers around Hartford says: The successful founding of the Ellington community and its continued prosperity may be ascribed to several causes. In the first place The Jewish Agricultural and Industrial Aid Society has greatly assisted the newcomers, not so much by actual loans as by practical advice both in the purchase of farms and in farm practice. In fact, several farms were chosen and the price and terms of purchase determined upon through the instrumentality of the Society. Owing to this timely assistance, few men paid too dearly for their land or made serious cultural mistakes at the outset. The Jewish farmers in this section, according to Professor Cance, do not suffer by comparison with their German, Swiss, or American neighbors. Their substantial buildings, modern equipment, and large dairy herds impress him that they are "commercial farmers and look for no mere subsistence only; they expect handsome returns." He adds that it does not appear "that the Jewish farmers produce less pounds per acre of tobacco or that, on the whole, the quality of the cured leaf is inferior to the average of the vicinity." He found the investment of the average Jewish farmer in horses, tools, implements, and farm machinery larger and the equipment more modern and complete, than those of many non-Jewish farmers. MASSACHUSETTS.—Jewish farming in Massachusetts has been a matter of less than ten years. The Jewish farmers in this State are settled around Medway and Millis, about twenty miles from Boston, and in the Berkshire Hills, in the extreme western part. 92 AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK Most of the farmers around Medway were residents of Boston, who, after saving up some money from their industrial earnings, decided to locate upon farms. This section, which comprises the settlements of Medway, Millis, and Holliston, contains about seventy-five Jewish families. The soil in this region is productive, and the markets and transportation facilities are excellent. The fanners are chiefly engaged in general farming. Poultry raising and truck-gardening for the Boston market are also developing rapidly. The Jewish farmers in Berkshire County are chiefly grouped around Great Barrington and Lee. Their farms are large, some of them having an area of three hundred acres or more, but a comparatively small portion of them is fit for cultivation. They are stony and hilly, and dairying is practically the only branch of farming pursued. The markets are poor, and most of the farms are a considerable distance from the railroad stations. The steep roads make many of these farms difficult of access. A good many of the farmers are compelled to add to their income by working through the winter in the city or by cutting and hauling firewood ; most of the farms are fortunately well-wooded. MICHIGAN.—The beginning of Jewish farming in the State of Michigan was made at a very early period. In 1882 Lazarus Silbeiman, a Chicago banker, assisted twelve families to settle at Carp Lake, in Emmet County, about six miles south of Mackinac Straits. Like the other experiments made during that period, it had but a brief existence. In 1890 Isaac Berliner was assisted by the Jewish Agriculturists' Aid Society of Clricago to settle at Twelve Corners in Berrien County, on Lake Michigan, in the neighborhood of Benton Harbor. The following year an attempt at founding a colony in this State was made by sixteen families who settled in Badaxe in AGRICULTURAL. ACTIVITIES OF JEWS IN AMERICA 93 Huron County. They called their settlement Palestine. The land was heavily timbered, and little farming could therefore be done. The settlers were soon in dire straits, and in 1893 the Baron de Hirsch Fund came to their aid to keep them from starving, but in the summer forest fires devastated the entire region, and this colony was swept out of existence. The same year, several other Jewish families were assisted by the Chicago Society to settle near Benton Harbor; the settlement has continued to grow, and now numbers about fifty families. These farmers settled on worn-out farms, and they had for a time an uphill struggle; but Benton Harbor is one of the most important shipping centres for fruit in the State and most of them proceeded at once with the setting out of fruit trees, which are now coming into bearing, and are bringing good returns. Besides the growing of fruit, the Jewish farmers are engaged in dairying, poultry raising, and vegetable gardening, for which the many summer resorts near the Lake furnish excellent markets. NOETH DAKOTA.—North Dakota appears to have been a particular favorite with Jewish settlers, as shown by the number of efforts at colonization and by the growth of Jewish farming in that State. The tendency of the Jewish immigrant to take up Government land seems to be on the increase, although some of the best and most favorably located homesteads have long since been pre-empted. The oldest existing Jewish settlement in this State was founded in 1887 at Devil's Lake, in Ramsey County, by members of the defunct Painted Woods Colony. Here they met with better success. Many of these early pioneers acquired considerable land and, with the growth of the country, became well-to-do. Most of them, however, have sold their land at a 94 AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK profit, and are now engaged in various kinds of business in the neighborhood. Burleigh County.—The Jewish settlement in Burleigh County, which is the most firmly established of the North Dakota settlements, was started in 1901. It is located about twenty miles from the town of Wilton in McLean County, twenty-seven miles north of Bismarck on the Minneapolis, St. Paul and Sault Ste. Marie Eailroad. In 1902 the Jewish Agriculturists' Aid Society, of Chicago, aided a number of residents from that city to settle on Government homesteads in the same neighborhood. None of these pioneers had any funds of his own, and few had farming experience of any kind. But with the aid given by the Chicago Society and also by the Jewish Agricultural and Industrial Aid Society of New York, they were enabled to make satisfactory progress. Some of the settlers and their sons during the early period worked in the neighboring coal mines to earn money toward the equipment of their farms and toward making the necessary improvements. At first the settlers here, as elsewhere in these regions, lived in sod-houses or in dug-outs. Later they built frame dwellings and other farm buildings. This settlement numbers about fifty families. Sulzberger Colony.—The largest Jewish settlement in this state is that in Mclntosh County, near the town of Ashley, about seven miles north from the South Dakota line. It was founded in 1904 by the settlement upon Government land of a number of Jewish families from Minneapolis, who were led to settle there by some of their Eusso-German friends who preceded them. It was named the Sulzberger Colony in honor of Cyrus L. Sulzberger, who, at the time, was president of the Jewish Agricultural and Industrial Aid Society of New York. AGRICULTURAL ACTIVITIES OF JEWS IN AMERICA 95 Some of these settlers also came from New York, and were assisted to their destination by the Industrial Eemoval Office. The settlement now comprises about sixty families. The climate in this settlement is milder than that prevailing in Burleigh County, but the land is not so rich, and it is somewhat stony. The first settlers, however, were able to locate on some very good claims, but the late comers had to content themselves with what was left. Though this colony has made considerable progress, it suffered a severe setback owing to two successive crop failures. The settlers became heavily involved in debt, and the Jewish Agricultural and Industrial Aid Society was called upon on several occasions for assistance to relieve them of their heavy burdens by refunding their debts. Still, most of the settlers have turned the corner, and the prospects, on the whole, are bright. There are also several Jewish settlements in various parts of North Dakota. The newest and at the same time the largest is Bowman, in Bowman County, in the extreme southwestern part of the State. Although the settlement is only about four years old, it numbers some fifty families. The other settlements are Stroud, in McKenzie County; Dogden, in McLean County; Leipzig, in Morton County, and Velva, in Ward County. Besides, there are a number of scattered farmers throughout the State. All told, there are about 250 Jewish farming families in North Dakota, comprising an approximate population of 1200. It is generally believed that when the land is free, little or no money is needed to establish oneself. The new settlers found this far from being the case. Aside from the expensive equipment required to cultivate virgin soil, they had to have something to live on for two or three years until they could get 96 AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK sufficient returns from their crops. Those, therefore, who were not well supplied with funds soon found themselves in debt. Considering that the prevailing interest rate is 12 per cent, they eventually became so involved that it was difficult for them to extricate themselves. The recent crop failures brought home to the Jewish farmers, who like the other farmers depended largely upon the wheat crop, that they must diversify their farming operations. With the help of the Jewish Agricultural and Industrial Aid Society most of them are going into dairying, which yields them an assured income throughout the year, and a failure of their wheat crops cannot affect them as seriously as heretofore. This helps to improve the economic condition of the Jewish settlers in this and other States in the Northwest. Scattered as the Jewish farmers in North Dakota of necessity must be owing to the great distances, they nevertheless try to maintain a certain degree of social intercourse among themselves. This is shown by the organization of farmers' associations in the three largest settlements in the state—Burleigh County, Sulzberger Colony, and Bowman. This year the Jewish Chautauqua Society undertook to look after the religious interests of the Jewish farmers in this State by sending a Eabbi, who visits the most important settlements and ministers to all their religious needs. MISCELLANEOUS.—There are Jewish farming settlements of greater or less importance in many other States of the Union. In Pennsylvania there are about one hundred Jewish farmers, most of them located in Bucks County, not far from the Delaware Eiver. Ohio has two distinct settlements, one in the northern part of the State near Cleveland, and the other in the southern part, in the vicinity of Cincinnati, from which cities the settlers were recruited. AGRICULTURAL ACTIVITIES OF JEWS IN AMERICA 97 In Wisconsin the Milwaukee Agricultural Association, of which A. W. Eich of that city was the organizer, enlisted the interest of the Jewish Agricultural and Industrial Aid Society, of New York, and with funds furnished by the latter bought in 640 acres of cut-over timber land in Arpin, Wood County. This was divided up into sixteen farms of forty acres each, and several families from Milwaukee were settled. Because of the character of the land the settlers were not successful and left. About six of them, however, returned last year, and reports indicate that they are now likely to remain. In 1910 the St. Louis Prospective Farmers' Association, an organization of immigrant Jews in St. Louis, bought an eight hundred acre farm in Flora, Clay County, Illinois, at a cost of $48,000. Some of the members had considerable means. They • paid down $8500, the balance remaining on mortgage. At first the settlers worked the land together, but subsequently divided it up into eight farms in proportion to the investment of the individual members of the association. In 1911 the Jewish Agricultural and Industrial Aid Society made them loans aggregating $14,500 toward paying off a mortgage. A number of Jewish immigrants settled on Government land in Perkins County, South Dakota, thirty miles from Iiemmon, the nearest railroad station on the Puget Sound Eailroad, in 1908. After locating, they were financially assisted by the Jewish Agricultural and Industrial Aid Society, but two successive years of severe drought caused a number of the settlers in that country, both Jews and non-Jews, to abandon their homesteads. A few, however, remained, and many of those who left did so only temporarily in order to work during the winter, with the intention of returning in the spring. 98 AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK In Nebraska some fifteen Jewish families also filed on Government land in 1910 in Cherry County, forty miles from Hyannis, the nearest railroad station on the Burlington Kailroad. This land is in the arid belt, and is suitable only for grazing. Settlement was made under the Kinkaid (Desert Land) Act, and each settler has a whole section, that is, 640 acres. Two small Jewish settlements are to be found in the State of Washington, one in Republic, in Ferry County, in the northeastern part of the State, and the other in Lakebay, Pierce County, about fifteen miles west of Tacoma. The first-named settlement is in a former mining district. The land is not especially adapted to farming, and when the mines closed and the market for farm products disappeared, most of the settlers left. In the other settlement, Lakebay, the marketing and transportation facilities are good, and the farmers are doing well. They are chiefly engaged in trucking and fruit growing. The settlement started in 1906, and numbers about twenty families. The Jewish settlement in Wyoming is located in the eastern part of the State, about twenty miles northwest of Mitchell, Nebraska. The settlement started in 1907 when about fifteen Jewish families from Pittsburg filed on Government land in that State. The interest of the Jewish Agricultural and Industrial Aid Society was enlisted in their behalf by Rabbi J. Leonard Levy, of Pittsburg, and the Society loaned money to these settlers to equip their farms. The settlement is in the semi-arid zone. The settlers expected that a Government irrigation project would soon be carried out, but thus far their hopes have not materialized. The settlers are doing whatever dry farming they can, and most of them are working on the irrigated farms in the neighborhood in order to subsist. They AGRICULTURAL ACTIVITIES OF JEWS IN AMERICA 99 have displayed a great deal of tenacity, and are holding on to their homesteads in the hope that the United States Reclamation Service will in time construct the " ditch " and make their farms valuable. A Jewish farming settlement is also to be found in the Sacramento Valley, California, in Placer County, about six miles from the town of Lincoln. In 1909 a tract of land was bought and divided up into small parcels of from six to eighteen acres. The little colony is run partly on the community basis. The settlers planted orange trees on most of their land, and fruit growing and poultry raising are mainly carried on. An experiment is being made in Sanpete County, on the Sevier River, Utah, by the Jewish Agricultural and Colonial Association, an organization of Jewish immigrants largely residents of Philadelphia. The association purchased in 1911 about six thousand acres of plateau land directly from the State of Utah. Under the leadership of Benjamin Brown and Joseph Miller, the latter a graduate of the National Farm School, fifteen pioneers took possession of this land, and during the fall and winter of 1911 broke up and planted fifteen hundred acres in wheat, oats, and alfalfa. The plan calls for the settlement of 150 families. The entire tract is to be cultivated on a cooperative basis until the settlement is completed, when it will be parcelled off into forty acres for each family. It is intended to bring over the first group of thirty families after the harvesting of the first crop. Through the instrumentality of Rabbi Isaac Landman, of Philadelphia, a number of prominent Jews of Salt Lake City were interested, and the Utah Colonization Fund was incorporated to finance the individual members who may settle on the land of the association. 100 AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK The latest Jewish farming settlement is the Ida Straus Colony, named in memory of Ida Straus, who, with her husband, Isidor Straus, lost her life in the Titanic disaster. About twenty Jewish families of St. Louis, who formed the Jewish Farmers' Association, of St. Louis, of which Michael Wittals is president, bought in the spring of 1912 a five thousand acre tract of land near Houston, Texas, and some of the members have already left St. Louis to take possession of the land, erect buildings, and begin farming operations. COOPERATION AND SELF-HELP The most remarkable feature in the evolution of the agricultural movement among the Jews in the United States is the development of the spirit of self-help and cooperation. The Jewish farmers have learned the advantages of organized endeavor, and their efforts at mutual self-help and social and educational betterment are being well repaid. FARMERS' ASSOCIATIONS.—The establishment of a system of intercommunication among the Jewish farmers through the medium of the Jewish Farmer created in them a natural desire to learn something of one another. This resulted in the formation of farmers' associations in many localities. From four in 1908 their number has steadily increased, until there are to-day forty-eight active and enterprising associations. These local associations supply the cohesive force whereby the Jewish farmers in each section are drawn and held together. Though the associations are primarily agricultural, they enter into every phase of the life of the Jewish farmer. Their meetings are made occasions for picnics, festivals, and other social gatherings for the wives and children of the farmers. They are looked upon as models by the non-Jewish farmers in the vicinity. AGRICULTURAL ACTIVITIES OF JEWS IN AMERICA 101 FEDERATION OF JEWISH FARMERS.—With a number of organizations composed of men of the same blood, having suffered the same hardships, possessing the same ideals, with interests in common, and the same problems to solve, it was but a natural step that they should wish to get into closer relations with one another. Samuel P. Becker, a retired Jewish farmer of Hartford, Connecticut, started an agitation for a union of these associations. A meeting was held in New York City in January, 1909, at which the thirteen associations then existing were represented. This resulted in the formation of the Federation of Jewish Farmers of America, with Samuel P. Becker, president; Samuel Hein, of Nassau, N. Y., vice-president; Samuel Kleinfeld, of Vineland, 1ST. J., treasurer; and Joseph W. Pincus, of New York City, secretary. In pursuance of a resolution adopted at this meeting—the first annual convention of Jewish farmers—an agricultural fair and exhibition was held during the Succoth week of 1909, at the Educational Alliance, New York City, under the auspices of the newly-formed Federation. The exhibits came from many States, and included fruits, vegetables, grains, grasses, flowers, butter, cheese, preserves, bread, pastry, honey, and so on. There were also educational exhibits from the Agricultural Colleges of New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, and Massachusetts. The exhibit that attracted most attention was that of the Baron de Hirsch Agricultural School, of Woodbine, New Jersey. Exhibits were also made by the National Farm School, of Doylestown, Pennsylvania, the children's gardens in the South Jersey Colonies, and the patients of the Country Sanitarium of the Montefiore Home at Bedford, New York. The interest created by the fair was widespread, and not less than fifty thousand persons came to view the exhibits. 102 AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK The Federation holds a convention annually in the fall, generally during Succoth week, attended by delegates from all constituent associations. The place of meeting is usually the Educational Alliance in New York City. The opening session is devoted to a public mass meeting, at which addresses are made by men prominent in public life. The rest of the sessions are chiefly taken up with business matters and with the discussion of problems of importance to the Jewish farmers. Marketing, improvement of social and educational facilities, and the advantages of cooperation are the main topics under discussion. The Federation's influence on the economic improvement of the Jewish farmer and his general betterment has been marked. Among other activities it conducts a purchasing bureau, through whose agency the farmer is enabled to buy seeds, fertilizers, implements, and other supplies at a considerable saving. Another advantage is that by dealing through the Federation he receives liberal credit. During the spring of 1912 the purchasing bureau did $45,000 worth of business. COOPERATIVE CREDIT.—The need of an adequate system of agricultural credit in the United States has long been felt. This is especially true in the case of the new farmer. He must have seasonal credit in order to work his farm properly. A moderate loan to tide him over until he can market his crops, obtainable with little difficulty and at no expense, is what he requires. The Jewish Agricultural and Industrial Aid Society recognized the need for this form of credit by Jewish farmers, but was in no position to meet it. It cannot keep in sufficiently close touch with the farming communities to warrant its making loans of this nature. Accordingly, in 1911, it set about organizing cooperative credit unions among the various Jewish AGRICULTURAL ACTIVITIES OF JEWS IN AMERICA 103 farming settlements. As a result, ten such associations are now in active operation. Each of these credit unions raised $500 through the sale of shares to members, and the Society loaned them, at two per cent, $1000—two dollars for every dollar of their own. The form of organization of these Credit Unions is similar to that of the Raiffeisen Banks in Germany, upon which most other credit banks throughout the world are modelled. They are controlled entirely by the members. Shares in these Credit Unions are $5 each, and the holder of one share has the same voice and the same rights as the holder of, say, one hundred shares. Membership in the Unions is open only to members in good standing of the local Jewish farmers' association. The entire membership of a Credit Union constitutes the General Assembly, which has the final decision on all questions. The direct management is in the hands of a board of directors consisting of the president, vice-president, secretary, and treasurer, who also constitute the Credit Committee, and are in complete charge of the granting of loans, and three other members who constitute the Supervisory Committee. The members of the board of directors are not eligible to borrow except by a twothirds vote of the General Assembly in each instance. The loans are granted only for productive purposes or urgent needs. They are not granted for a period exceeding six months nor for an amount exceeding $100. Interest is charged at the rate of six per cent. The security is determined by the Credit Committee, and is generally a promissory note with one or more responsible endorsements. Initiation fees and other charges, also so much of the net profits as has not been distributed as dividends, constitute the Reserve Fund of the Credit Unions. 104 AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK It is a little early at this stage to attempt a discussion of these pioneer credit banks on American soil. Some of the effects resulting from an adequate system of cooperative credit have even at this early date manifested themselves in the communities in which these Credit Unions were established. The pernicious activity of the local usurer has been largely curtailed. The arrogance of the local storekeeper is in evidence no longer, and the farmer is now treated as a respected customer. The Credit Unions have endowed their members with a high sense of mutual responsibility, and have stimulated them to further effort in the direction of cooperation and mutual self-help. JEWISH AGRICULTURAL SCHOOLS IN THE UNITED STATES BARON DE HIRSCH AGRICULTURAL SCHOOL.—The Baron de Hirsch Agricultural School was founded in 1894. It is located in Woodbine, and had its beginning in the introduction of manual training into the public school curriculum in that colony. Later a series of lectures on agricultural topics was conducted for the benefit of the farmers in the vicinity. The interest in these lectures was so keen that the Baron de Hirsch Fund decided to erect a barn where the children of Jewish farmers could learn the care of dairy animals. The first class of fifteen boys was organized in the fall of 1894. Until the fall of 1898 the school developed slowly, as it was regarded only as an experiment. Most of the pupils were children of Woodbine settlers, but a few boys from the New York Orphan Asylum were admitted as resident pupils. The work accomplished in this way convinced the Trustees of the Baron de Hirsch Fund that an agricultural school of larger scope would prove of great benefit, and a dormitory was erected to accommodate eighty pupils. The school continued to make progress, both physi- AGRICULTURAL ACTIVITIES OF JEWS IN AMERICA 105 cally and otherwise. It is well equipped with the necessary buildings, including a brick school building, a dormitory, a modern cow barn, nurseries, greenhouses, poultry plant, and so on. This school has the distinction of being the first school in the United States imparting secondary education in agriculture. The students are of mature years, and the aim of the school is to train them as practical farmers. The course is either one or two years, depending upon the aptitude of the pupil. The graduates, after leaving school, have work secured for them, upon modern, up-to-date farms in every part of the country, with a view to giving them further practical experience in the line of farming to which they are inclined and to which they have devoted most of their time while at school. The number of pupils registered at the school at this date is eighty, and there is a large waiting list for future registration. Between 1894 and 1912 the school sent out 891 students, of whom 429 completed the course and were graduated. Some of the former students have made their mark at teaching in agricultural schools, and in the service of the United States Department of Agriculture, and in similar Departments of the various States. NATIONAL FABM SCHOOL.—Another Jewish agricultural school was founded in 1896 by Eabbi Joseph Krauskopf, of Philadelphia. This school was named the National Farm School, and is located at Doylestown, Bucks County, Pennsylvania, thirty miles from Philadelphia. In the summer of 1897 the National Farm School began operations with a class of four students, on a 125-acre farm. This farm was purchased with money raised by Eabbi Krauskopf by delivering lectures throughout the country, in which he 106 AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK solicited money for this purpose. The lands of the school have since grown to four hundred acres, with seventeen buildings of various kinds. The school is picturesquely located in one of the best farming sections in eastern Pennsylvania. The National Farm School aims especially to afford agricultural training to young men who are not prepared to enter State agricultural colleges. Its course of study is outlined for young men of common school education. The institution is supported by private subscriptions from all parts of the country and by annual appropriations from the State of Pennsylvania, and from the Federation of Jewish Charities of Philadelphia, and other cities. It is national and non-sectarian. Its course covers a period of four years; tuition, board, lodging, and clothing are free. Since 1901 the school has graduated 107 students, besides it has taught a large number who attended for a year or more. Some of the graduates have made reputations for themselves as experts in various branches of agriculture, as instructors in agricultural colleges, and as managers of plantations in the South and of fruit farms in the West, and recently as leaders of the Clarion Colony in Utah. T H E JEW IN THE AGRICULTURAL PROFESSION There has been of late an increasing tendency on the part of Jewish young men to enter the agricultural profession. This is evidenced by the increasing number of Jewish students at the agricultural colleges of the various States. The entrance of Jewish young men into a field in which there is plenty of elbow room is highly significant. Although they are new in a new calling, the records established by some of them are encouraging. AGRICULTURAL ACTIVITIES OF JEWS IN AMERICA 107 Jacob G. Lipman, a son of one of the first Woodbine colonists, a graduate of the Baron de Hirsch Agricultural School and later of the New Jersey State Agricultural College and of Cornell University, is Professor of Soil Chemistry in the New Jersey Agricultural College and Director of the State Experiment Station; his brother, Charles B. Lipman, is Associate Professor of Soil Chemistry and Bacteriology at the University of California. J. G. Levinson, a graduate of the Forestry School of Yale, is Chief Arboriculturist of the Brooklyn Park Department. Joseph A. Rosen, a graduate of the University of Michigan, is the Agricultural Eepresentative in the United States of the Zemstvo of Bkaterinoslaff, Eussia, with headquarters in Minneapolis. Jacob Kotinsky, a son of one of the early Woodbine settlers, a graduate of the Baron de Hirsch Agricultural School and of the New Jersey State College of Agriculture, was for several years Chief Entomologist and Assistant Director of the United States Experiment Station in Honolulu. Henry W. Geller, a graduate of the Michigan Agricultural College, was Superintendent of the Baron de Hirsch Agricultural School for six years. M. E. Jaffa, a Woodbine graduate, is Nutrition Expert of the California Agricultural Experiment Station. Bernhard Ostrolenk, a graduate of the National Farm School and of the Massachusetts Agricultural College, is Director of the Slayton High School in Slayton, Minnesota. Jacob G. Taubenhaus, another graduate of the National Farm School and of Cornell University, is Assistant Professor of Plant Pathology at the Delaware Agricultural College and Experiment Station. Maurice Mitzmain, also a graduate of the National Farm School and of the University of California, is Chief Entomologist of the United States Department of Agriculture in the Philippine Islands. 108 AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK Joseph W. Pincus, a graduate of the Baron de Hirsch Agricultural School and of the Connecticut Agricultural College, is Editor of the Jewish Farmer, Secretary of the Federation of Jewish Farmers of America, and is at the head of the educational extension work of the Jewish Agricultural and Industrial Aid Society. These are by no means all the Jewish young men who have made their mark in the agricultural profession. Among other Jews who, although not professional agriculturists, have nevertheless made their influence felt on the agriculture of the United States are: H. L. Sabsovich, an immigrant from Eussia and a graduate of the Zurich Polytechnicum, who was Chemist at the California Agricultural Experiment Station, Superintendent of the Woodbine Colony at its inception, the first Superintendent and practically the organizer of the Agricultural School at Woodbine; and Bernhard Marks, an immigrant from Germany, who was the pioneer of irrigation in California and in introducing alfalfa into the United States. Probably the man whose influence upon the world's agriculture has been the greatest in modern times is David Lubin, the father of the International Institute of Agriculture in Eome and the American delegate to the Institute since its inception in 1905. AFTERWORD BY MORRIS LOEB, Ph. D. To those who have read with care Mr. Eobinson's able review of the various Jewish agricultural settlements, it ought to be apparent that the Jew as a farmer is not a mere sporadic occurrence, and that his comparative rarity is due greatly to the conditions which for many years prevented his possessing arable lands in so many countries. If we seek a striking AGRICULTURAL ACTIVITIES OF JEWS IN AMERICA 109 historical contrast, we might compare the serf who was forcibly tied to the soil, and whose descendants form the body of the agricultural population of present Europe, with the mediaeval Jew who was not allowed to possess any land outside the ghetto limit, and whose descendants are now seeking to gain a foothold among the farming population of America. There will be, in every country that does not impose arbitrary restrictions upon the freedom of motion of its inhabitants, a certain tendency toward the cities and a countervailing trend toward the open country. This freedom of exchange must be recognized as an inherent condition of personal liberty, and if, for economic or sociological reasons, a relative increase of rural population is desired, only such means can be adopted as will make agricultural life permanently attractive. No bonus system, no promises that cannot be kept, no attempt to stimulate an artificial sentiment will effect a permanent settlement, any more than it will be possible to keep a certain proportion of the children of the colonists from returning to the cities. For this reason, those who try to foster agricultural tendencies among the Jews must seek means that do not differ in principle from those to be adopted in connection with any agricultural movement. Wherever this common-sense rule is neglected, wherever colonists are planted in localities not suitably chosen, wherever the colonists themselves are not selected with regard to their intellectual, physical, and moral fitness, wherever they are not sufficiently equipped with agricultural implements as well as agricultural knowledge, wherever they lack the means to await the harvesting of the first successful crop, the colonies are 'bound to fail; and it is the neglect of one or other of these essentials that has caused so many bitter disappointments in the past among the innumerable agricul- 110 AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK tural settlements—Jewish and others—which have been placed in so many different parts of the world during the past fifty years. The worst mistake of all is that of placing paupers in an agricultural colony, with the idea that they must succeed there, when they have failed in industrial or financial pursuits. The true pauper lacks the essentials for the successful farmer in the same degree: namely, will-power and the capacity for sustained effort. An agricultural colony composed largely of industrial failures will he an agricultural failure as well. On the other hand, it must be remembered that paternal administration of a colony will certainly repel the ablest and most progressive settlers, and it is for this reason that the Alliance Israelite Universelle, the Jewish Colonization Association, as well as the American organizations dealing with the same problems, are endeavoring, as far as possible, to reduce the paternal system in the form of administrators dwelling within the colonies, and to substitute therefor local self-government, with the aid of travelling agricultural and administrative advisers. The results seem to have been most encouraging, and such colonies have not only succeeded in retaining their original membership, but have attracted additional energetic settlers. An artificially-planted colony, however, is, at best, a makeshift as compared with voluntary acquisition of land by the settler himself, and it is here that the greatest development must be expected in the future, inasmuch as this follows the natural course of events and is free from any artificial stimulus, whose removal might lead to a collapse of the enterprise. This is the chief field to which the Jewish Agricultural Societies are devoting their energies at the present moment. It might be well to summarize the means that are being employed as the result of the experience of a quarter of a century. AGRICULTURAL ACTIVITIES OF JEWS IN AMERICA First: Financial.—Every form of gift must be avoided, and the relations between the settler and the Society must be upon an equitable commercial basis. Loans are to be made on fair security at low rates of interest and with the fullest regard for the real needs of the farmer, in contradistinction to the local usurers, who exact exorbitant rates of interest, and try to induce the borrower to make unnecessary expenditures in order that he shall forfeit his equity under the load of his debts; even the local bank is often not free from this reproach. The interest and capital must bepaid as promptly as possible during good seasons, while no advantage is taken of misfortunes beyond the control of the settler, and the tendency to improve his land is always taken into full account in the extension of time or the granting of additional loans. To meet immediate wants of a temporary nature, for which the regular machinery of the mortgage department is too cumbersome, cooperative loan societies are to be encouraged among the farmers themselves, with some aid from the central organization. All shareholders are entitled to equal consideration in the granting of short loans, and the same machinery can be made available in the cooperative purchasing of seeds, fertilizers, and implements on the joint credit of the entire group of farmers. Second: Agricultural Information.—The intending settler should be assisted to the fullest extent in the selection of his farm, and if it is impossible to maintain a regular staff of experts for such a purpose, connection should be sought with official agricultural stations, or other established institutions, for the purpose of securing such advice when needed. Farms already in operation should be frequently visited by agricultural advisers, who shall point out in a reasonable manner the defects of management which appear to them. These advisers must not 8 112 AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK he thefiscalagents of the organization, in order that the farmer may feel that the advice given is entirely disinterested. This is only following the plan adopted by our western railroads, who desire to promote the productivity of the lands along their right of way. The printing of a special agricultural paper by the Jewish Agricultural and Industrial Aid Society was only due to the linguistic disability of so many of its proteges; but the use of good agricultural papers and, perhaps, the establishment of travelling agricultural libraries would be of the greatest importance in disseminating this knowledge. Third: Instruction of the Young.—We must carefully differentiate between the teaching required by the children of farmers and that adapted to the wants of city dwellers who wish to take up agriculture. The former have a natural familiarity with farming conditions, and for them the best instruction is that which is given, in the United States, at least, by the various State Colleges of Agriculture in the so-called short winter courses. The Jewish Agricultural and Industrial Aid Society has for a number of years past provided stipends, to enable the children of Jewish farmers to attend these courses, and bring home knowledge which will enable them to assist their fathers to the greatest possible extent in the cultivation of the farm. For the boy or girl who desires to take up farming from a scientific standpoint, the State institutions afford the best possible opportunity, and limited assistance toward attending them would not be out of place, if it were not to be feared that even at the present time more students are crowding into these scientific courses than are likely to make a satisfactory showing in the careers to which they are expected to lead. But the farm school, as a means of educating for farm life city dwellers, still remains as an essential feature of the general agricultural AGRICULTURAL ACTIVITIES OF JEWS IN AMERICA H3 scheme. Those at Woodbine and Doylestown are now especially devoting their energies toward developing as far as possible a taste for agriculture and teaching as rapidly as possible the essentials which enable young men to obtain positions as agricultural laborers, with the promise that they will be assisted toward independent holdings as soon as they have acquired the necessary general experience, and proved their fitness to continue in agricultural pursuits. Fourth: Artificial aid to agricultural colonists is sometimes necessary, where special conditions are to be overcome. Creameries and canneries will compensate for the absence of local markets; special harvesting machinery, grain elevators, etc., will enable a group of small cultivators to compete successfully with the owner of a large tract. If a benevolent society attempts to manage such establishments, it will commit a serious blunder. The only satisfactory arrangement can be that adopted by many American towns, of offering special inducements to independent operators to establish themselves in a particular locality. Subventions made for such a purpose will in the end prove no sacrifice at all, but it would be far better to avoid as far as possible the necessity for such enterprises, by seeking to deter settlers from placing themselves in positions where their future is dependent upon artificial aid. Finally: The healthfulness of the region and enjoyment to be derived from the neighborhood, as well as the educational opportunities as compared with those in cities and towns, become more and more important conditions in determining the choice of location: farming communities which lack social, hygienic, and intellectual advantages will gradually lose their best inhabitants. It is for this reason that more and more attention will have to be paid to improving the schools, places of 114 AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK worship, and places of amusement in agricultural centres, and it is fortunate that, in America, at least, there are societies like the Jewish Chautauqua which are devoting attention especially to questions of this kind, and whose cooperation will more and more overcome the arguments that keep families from settling upon the open land. The State will have to do its share, by providing better police protection, better means of communication, better medical supervision, in time, even better distribution of such utilities as are found in the urban community; but even now individual efforts in these directions are sure to bear ample fruit. When the large number of families now established upon the soil, whose success is visible to so many of their acquaintances, is compared with the deterrent effect of the largely-advertised agricultural failures of a quarter of a century ago, the movement of the Jewish population to agricultural regions is bound to become increasingly important, and therefore the present AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK performs a useful office in publishing a survey of the conditions at a time that may be taken as the threshold of an era wherein the ratio between city and country-dwellers among the Jews will be that imposed by nature rather than by restrictive tyranny.

The constitutional rights of American citizens should protect them on our borders and go with them throughout the world, and every American citizen residing or having property in any foreign country is entitled to, and must be given, the full protection of the United States Government, both for himself and his property."

In Russia, Austria-Hungary, Germany, and a few other countries, official figures are obtainable. In the main, however, the numbers given are based upon estimates repeated and added to by one statistical authority after another. For the statistics given below various authorities have been consulted, among them the " Statesman's Year Book" for 1912, the English " Jewish Year Book " for 5672-73, " The Jewish Encyclopedia," Judische Statistik, and the Alliance Israelite Universelle reports. THE UNITED STATES ESTIMATES As the census of the United States has, in accordance with the spirit of American institutions, taken no heed of the religious convictions of American citizens, whether native-born or naturalized, all statements concerning the number of Jews living in this country are based upon estimates. The Jewish population was estimated— In 1818 by Mordecai M. Noah at 3,000 In 1824 by Solomon Etting at 6,000 In 1826 by Isaac C. Harby at 6,000 In 1840 by the American Almanac at 15,000 In 1848 by M. A. Berk at 50,000 In 1880 by Wm. B. Hackenburg at 230,257 In 1888 by Isaac Markens at 400,000 In 1897 by David Sulzberger at 937,800 In 1905 by " The Jewish Encyclopedia " a t 1,508,435 In 1907 by " The American Jewish Year Book" at 1,777,185 In 1910 by " The American Jewish Year Book " at 2,044,762 DISTRIBUTION The following table by States presents two sets of estimates. In the left-hand column is given the estimated Jewish population of each State for 1905 as it appears in the " Jewish Encyclopedia," Vol. XII, pp. 371-374, in the article "United States." In the right-hand column are the estimates made up from figures furnished by correspondents who interested themselves in the DlRECTOBT OF JEWISH ORGANIZATIONS IN THE UNITED STATES COmAMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK, 5668 (p. 432). piled for the JEWISH STATISTICS STATES Alabama Alaska Arizona Arkansas California Colorado Connecticut Delaware District of Columbia.

This shows an increase of 37,220 over the figures for the same cities given in the AMERICAN JEWISH YEAE BOOK for 5668, or not quite 15 per cent. On this basis the Jewish population of the whole of the United States should have increased, since the last estimate, made in 1907, from 1,777,185 to 2,044,762. IMMIGRATION The total Jewish immigration to the United States, through the three ports of entry, New York, Philadelphia, and Baltimore, from 1881 to June 30, 1912, is stated to have been 1,632,399.2 The immigration through the four principal ports from July 1, 1911, to June 30, 1912, was as follows: Port of Ne w York AusRouRusTotuls at trlaos manians sians Others New York July.. . 921 132 4,789 Aug.. . 844 184 4,273 Sept.. . 984 114 6,033 71 2,221 Oct... . 52) Nov.. .1,132 123 3,733 Dec... .1,278 149 4,898 •Tan... . 664 102 2,720 Feb... ..1,103 78 2,649 Mch.. . 662 92 2,712 Apt... . 274 55 1,419 May.. .1,088 91 2,820 88 4,445 June . .. 916 Totals 10,386 1,277 41,612 712 717 962 644 498 361 470 163 593 425 723 595 6,654 6,018 7,093 3,357 6,486 6,686 3,956 3,891 4,059 2,173 4,722 6,043 6,763 60,038 Port of Port of Phila- Baltidelphia more BORtOU Totals Totals Totals 1,083 416 814 378 805 1,146 628 207 823 318 853 380 624 246 365 226 649 318 176 214 673 409 681 366 182 161 225 189 267 72 16 101 163 80 277 267 8,173 4,653 1,990 Totals for four Ports Total ventral Immigration 8,236 7,371 9,269 4,381 6,914 7,991 4,842 4,682 6,189 2,642 6,081 7,357 61,737 60,110 62,599 69,418 61,766 61,626 38,463 45,380 91,185 99,839 113,635 92,425 74,864 838,172 •We are indebted to Mr. David M. Bressler, General Manager of the Industrial Removal Office, for the figures of the population of the cities given above. 2 We are indebted to the Baron de Hirsch Fund and the Hebrew Sheltering and Immigrant Aid Society for the figures by ports of entry. To the totals given above should be added 1,439, the number who arrived at Galveston, and 4,312, the number who arrived at other ports, making a total Jewish immigration of 80,605 out of a total general immigration of 838,172. JEWISH STATISTICS 267 For the year 1910-11, the Jewish immigration was: New York, 68,256; Philadelphia, 10,798; Baltimore, 7,225; Boston, 2,319; other ports, 2,625; total, 91,223. From this number should be deducted 6,401 emigrating alien Jews recorded, and a considerable number not recorded. Thus the total increase of the Jewish population by immigration for the year 1910-11 was less than 84,822. For the year 1911-12, the total Jewish immigration was 80,605. From this number should be deducted 7,418 emigrating alien Jews recorded, and a considerable number not recorded. Thus the total increase of the Jewish population by immigration for the year 191112 was less than 73,187, or 11,635 less than the previous year.

REPORT OF THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE As this is the fifth occasion on which we confer in annual meeting, it may be well to review some of the more important problems which confronted us at the inception of this Committee and to recall the manner in which we have dealt with them. The Committee, you will remember, took its rise out of the necessities of our unfortunate coreligionists in Russia and Roumania and the requirement that an efficient organization be instituted to undertake a coordination of the means available in this country for meeting the ever-continuing emergency in Jewry. The Committee may be regarded therefore as having developed out of the pogroms of 1905, though by the time the Committee was organized, the immediate problems arising therefrom had been met 294 AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK with unusual efficiency. But those who had the larger share in organizing the relief work felt the need of instituting a permanent organization that might be at hand to deal with a similar emergency if it should ever again arise. The past five years have witnessed no wholesale pogroms, though the Czar and his ministers have devised and put in force other modes of persecution not less deadly. For the swifter method of mere murder, there has been substituted the more cruel process of physical and mental starvation, of torture and inhuman repression. The problems, therefore, of Russia and Roumania as they affect the Jews of this country have been increasing rather than diminishing. The Committee, at the inception of its work, was confronted with the necessity of dealing with the threatened enactment of restrictive immigration laws in our own country. Through the efforts of those favoring a liberal immigration policy, the harshness of the laws proposed at the opening of the session of Congress in 1906, was mitigated, and the act of February, 1907, was put upon the statute books. Though not in any sense a restrictive measure, it raised the head-tax from two to four dollars, and retained the exclusion clauses of the previous act. Its most notable provision was that empowering the appointment of a Commission to investigate the whole question of immigration. This Commission, whose work was concluded at the last session of the SixtyFirst Congress, has now completed its report in forty bdd volumes which have not yet been published. In order that the Commission might not be led into error respecting Jewish immigration, your Committee, as soon as the Commission organized, communicated with that body, requesting leave to present data that might be of use in the endeavor to reach a just and unbiased conclusion. Upon invitation of the Commission, the Committee, in cooperation with the Independent Order B'nai B'rith and the Board of Delegates of the Union of American Hebrew Congregations, on November 7, 1910, submitted recommendations respecting the revision of the laws and regulations, which were communicated to you in our last annual report. That the Commission considered these suggestions may be fairly inferred from the presence in the Immigration Commission's report of several of them, notably that respecting the method of appointing Boards of Special Inquiry, which have to deal with all cases of appeals from exclusion in the first instance. The published preliminary abstracts of the reports of the Immigration Commission evidence but slight desire to adhere to the time-honored tradition that has made this country a refuge for the oppressed of all lands. It was contended that on economic grounds the increase of our population by immigration was too rapid, and that some method of restriction should be adopted. The REPORT OF AMERICAN JEWISH COMMITTEE 295 Commission favored a reading and writing test as likely to effect most equitably the desired end. In reaching this determination, the object seems to be to decrease the immigration from Southern and Eastern Europe, which forms the bulk of our immigration. Opposition to immigration has always been against that coming in largest numbers. There was a time when the coming of the Germans and of the Irish was similarly opposed. The decrease of general immigration from Germany and Ireland has changed the ideas of those who formerly regarded the immigrants from those countries as a danger to this country. The restrictionists now affect to deplore the paucity of German and Irish immigrants, and hope to stimulate their coming by excluding as many as possible of other immigrants. The real situation is that there always have been persons hostile to immigration. As times change, these shift their arguments, but do not change their position. Anti-immigration legislation is once again likely to be advocated. Already a bill has been introduced by Senator Dillingham, which contains, among other drastic provisions, one that establishes a reading and writing test. It is pleasing to note that two advocates of restrictionist legislation, namely, Mr. John L. Burnett, of Alabama, the Chairman of the House Committee on Immigration, and Mr. Everis A. Hayes, of California, another member of that Committee, have put themselves on record as favoring the exemption from proposed restrictive measures of all victims of religious and political persecution. In view of the conditions, it is requisite that all those who favor the maintenance of this country's traditions exert their influence at the proper time to oppose drastic changes in our immigration laws. THE PASSPORT QUESTION For more than a generation after the Treaty of 1832 with Russia was made, no question arose as to its interpretation. Then came the change in Russia's policy towards her Jewish subjects. For semi-tolerance was substituted persecution soon to be followed by massacre. Almost coincident with Russia's change in her policy toward her Jewish subjects arose the refusal to vise1 the passports of American Jews. The members of this Committee are familiar with the efforts made by all our Secretaries of State to induce Russia to comply with the terms of the Treaty of 1832. You are equally familiar with the ineffectiveness of these efforts. To earnest and persistent remonstrance, Russia always replied by mere diplomatic evasions and postponements, which amount to a practical denial of redress or even of respectful consideration of the question. The plain fact is, therefore, that the situation remains just what it was forty-five years ago. 296 AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK Your Executive Committee gave to this subject its most earnest consideration almost from its first meetings. Assured that no results were to be obtained from further recourse to the ordinary channels of diplomacy, it soon came to the conclusion that some other and more drastic method would have to be devised to make the Russian Government appreciate that the protests of the United States were not mere formalities. After much deliberation, it was determined to recommend to the President the abrogation of the treaties with Russia. This was a course permitted by the terms of the treaties, and was resolved upon as the most likely method of impressing upon the Russian Government that the United States is in earnest, and will no longer tolerate the continued violation of the Treaty of 1832. Accordingly, a letter was despatched to President Roosevelt on May 18, 1908, which began the attempt on the part of your Committee to induce the Government to do something effective to terminate the controversy. The correspondence with Presidents Roosevelt and Taft and Secretaries Root and Knox was published in the last issue of THE AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK. In addition, conferences were had with President Roosevelt and with President Taft, notably on February 15, 1911. On this last occasion, by invitation of the President, representatives of the Union of American Hebrew Congregations, the Independent Order B'nai B'rith, and the American Jewish Committee had an extended conference with him. As all our endeavors proved futile, we reluctantly reached the conclusion that the present administration was not willing to adopt any other measure than diplomatic representation, which promised no better results in the future than had been attained by it in the past. We, therefore, felt ourselves compelled to appeal to the people of the United States. This course was not lightly undertaken, and was determined upon after most serious deliberation. Our first public appeal was made in cooperation with the Union of American Hebrew Congregations. The address delivered by Mr. Marshall at its Twenty-Second Council marked the opening of the campaign. It presented our position clearly and unmistakably, and in order that the people of the United States might be informed upon the question, nearly 35,000 copies were printed and sent to the press and the pulpit and to individuals of prominence and influence in all walks of life. This was followed by a similar distribution of a speech made in Congress by Mr. Herbert Parsons. Wide distribution also was given to an address on " The United States Passport and Russia," by Judge Rufus B. Smith, President of the Cincinnati Bar Association, and to articles which appeared in the New York Times, the Outlook, the New York Evening Post, and the New York Evening Mail. In the last-mentioned newspaper the subject was REPORT OF AMERICAN JEWISH COMMITTEE 297 treated in a series of daily articles extending over a period of more than a month. You will recall that immediately upon the convening of Congress in special session, Mr. William Sulzer, a representative from New York and Chairman of the Committee on Foreign Affairs, introduced a resolution providing for the termination of the Treaty with Russia. (See AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK 5671, p. 57.) Similar resolutions were introduced in the House hy Representatives William E. Calder, Francis Burton Harrison, and Henry M. Goldfogle, of New York; Alfred G. Allen, of Ohio; and Joseph W. Byrns, of Tennessee. In the Senate also the matter was the subject of a resolution introduced by Senator Culberson, of Texas, who had introduced the same resolution at the preceding session. By reason of the fact that the extra session of Congress was called to consider a specific measure, no action on these resolutions could be had. But there is every reason to expect that Mr. Sulzer, who is Chairman of the Committtee on Foreign Affairs, and the other representatives who have introduced resolutions, together with Senator Culberson, will energetically advocate the resolutions to abrogate the treaty at the session about to convene. We have also received assurances that ample opportunity will be given to us to appear before both the House and Senate Committees in advocacy of these resolutions when they receive consideration. That the people of the United States are beginning to awaken to the importance of the question is evidenced by the passage in the Legislatures of fifteen States of resolutions on the subject. Ten State Legislatures, namely, of California, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Montana, Nevada, New York, and Washington, have gone on record as unqualifiedly in favor of the termination of the Treaty of 1832. Many great newspapers and numerous organizations of the country have stoutly advocated and defended this course. At a clerical conference held under the auspices of the New York Federation of Churches, October 30, 1911, the following resolution was passed: WHEREAS, It is and always has been the fundamental principle of this Government that the rights of its citizens shall not be Impaired at home or abroad on account of religious belief; and WHEEEAS, Under the treaty between the United States and Russia negotiated in 1832, Russia claims the right to and does discriminate between American citizens on the ground of religious belief, and, as a consequence, several classes of American citizens, notably ministers of various denominations, and especially Jews are excluded from Russia, and American citizens of the Jewish faith are subject to the same class restrictions as the Government imposes upon its own inhabitants of the Jewish faith, all of which is contrary to the plain wording and meaning of such treaty ; Therefore, this assembly urgently requests the President to terminate said treaty at the earliest possible time, so that Russia may know that a 298 AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK discrimination against any part of our people on religious grounds is contrary to the fundamental principles of our Government, and that we cannot admit such a discrimination without being false to American citizenship, which covers the Jew as sacredly as it does the Christian. A National Citizens' Committee with headquarters at New York has been formed under the presidency of Andrew D. White, formerly Minister to Russia, with William G. McAdoo as Chairman of the Executive Committee, and Henry Green as Managing Director, and having a membership composed of distinguished men throughout the country, to protest against Russia's violation of the treaty and to endeavor to terminate the intolerable conditions arising therefrom. But your Committee feels that much more publicity is required, and to further this end, we are making a wide distribution of a reprint of the article in the YEAR BOOK, and of other special articles on the subject. The Jews of the United States are warranted in assuming that the only likelihood of a redress of their grievances is through an appeal to the intelligence, the patriotism, and the sense of justice of the American people. It behooves every member of the American Jewish Committee to use his best endeavors to bring about the passage of the resolutions now pending in the House and Senate. In every Congressional District representations should be made to the representative in Congress before he leaves his home; in every State, the Senators should be waited on. Such conferences of the people's representatives with their constituents must be productive of much good. They give opportunities to explain matters which in the hurrry of business at Washington might be overlooked, and, in any event, personal conferences leave a more vivid impression than mere writings, which are liable to be buried in the mass of mail matter received by our Congressmen. The helpful cooperation with other organizations in the past convinces us that the activity of others, in any manner they may deem best, will promote the end we have in view. All bodies and persons who feel an interest in the subject should be energetically engaged in making their sentiments known to their Senators and Representatives. If the policy of the public presentation of this grievance be steadfastly carried out, there is every reason to hope that the wrong which we have so long suffered may be righted. NOTE.—The success attending the movement to terminate the treaty with Russia is briefly recorded on pp. 196-210. JEWISH COMMUNITY OF NEW YOEK CITY The Jewish Community of New York City, the Executive Committee of which forms the membership of the American Jewish Committee from District XII, submits the following report: REPORT OF AMERICAN JEWISH COMMITTEE NEW YORK, November 10, 299 1911. To the Executive Committee of the American Jewish Committee: GENTLEMEN.—On the occasion of your Fourth Annual Meeting held on November 12 of last year, we had the honor of presenting to you a brief summary of some of the activities of our organization. Since then the Second Annual Convention of the Jewish Community [Kehillah] of New York City was held on February 26, and our Executive Committee then reported at length regarding the work of our body to the delegates of our constituent organizations assembled. Copies of the reports presented at this Convention were sent to all the members of the American Jewish Committee. Following this Convention, most of the activities reported on were continued by our organization, and some of the plans then presented were brought nearer to realization. We beg herewith to supplement in brief the reports which we sent to the members through the mails. Religious Organization.—The Vaad Horabbonim, or Board of Rabbis, is now made up of twenty-five of the leading authoritative Rabbis of New York City. A compcehensive plan for the proper regulation of Kashruth and the elimination of the abuses which now beset us is being worked out. As one of the preliminary steps in the direction of the proper regulation of Kashruth, we have made an investigation of all the Jewish butchers of New York City, and it is expected that most of these will join the various Boards of Kashruth to be formed in different districts of the city, which are to be under the supervision of our Vaad Horabbonim. The Board of Rabbis appoints for every month a different Vaad Haborarim, or Committee on Conciliation. Before these committees, many matters of dispute in Jewish Societies and Congregations, which otherwise would have been brought into court, are taken up for consideration and often satisfactorily settled. We have continued to combat the evil of mushroom synagogues and the holding of religious services in unseemly places. During the last high holidays provisional synagogues under the auspices of the Kehillah were conducted. We also distributed among needy persons tickets for seats, which we purchased from regularly constituted synagogues. We also made a successful beginning in holding religious services for tbje children of the crowded districts of the city, and seven synagogues for children were conducted during the high holidays in the auditoriums and meeting-rooms of different Jewish institutions of the city. We have also dealt with the question of Sabbath observance, but so far have only succeeded in arousing some Interest in behalf of those Jews who observe the Jewish Sabbath and who wish to work or open their places of business on Sunday. Education.—In our last report to the American Jewish Committee, we outlined, In brief, the purposes of the Bureau of Jewish Education of the Kehillah, which was then organized. This year's work in the Bureau of Education has been a record year. The success that the Bureau has met with has, of course, partly been due to the fact that there has been for years a crying need for such work. It will be impossible to give more than a mere outline of what the Bureau has been trying to do during the previous year. The Bureau made a careful study of the most important Jewish religious schools of New York, both from their financial and their educational aspects. The financial report has been issued under the title, " A Survey of the Financial Status of the Jewish Religious Schools of New York," and the results of the educational study will appear in a publication which is now 300 AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK in press, under the name " A Brief Report of the Thirty-One Conferences Held by the Talmud Torah Principals' Association of New York in Conjunction with the Bureau of Education." These publications are to be sent to the members of the American Jewish Committee. But the Bureau did not stop at mere study of the situation. It took immediate steps looking to the systematlzation and standardization of Jewish religious education in New York. The first step we took in that direction was to obtain a Text Book Fund in order to produce a uniform series of text books and literature for the various schools. A loan of ten thousand dollars ($10,000), known as the Text Book Fund, was obtained. But by means of text books alone the standardization could not be brought about. The various schools must have a sound financial basis and a good staff of teachers and the proper school organization to produce the desired results. The Bureau, therefore, has been making- efforts to obtain a large Jewish Education Fund, calculated to bring in, from subscriptions, about three hundred thousand dollars ($300,000) per annum by the end of ten years. In drder to start the work on a large scale at once, the sum of fifty thousand dollars ($50,000) per annum was needed. This sum is now practically assured. In addition to the attempt to standardize whatever existing schools are ripe for standardization, and to help establish new schools particularly in sections where there are none, the Bureau has established a Board of License consisting of five examiners, representing the various educational institutions of New York cooperating with the Bureau, for the purpose of issuing temporary teachers' certificates or permanent licenses to those teachers qualified for the work. The work of this License Board gives promise of a better future for Jewish education in New York City. In connection with our educational work, we have considered further the matter of giving public lectures, and have corresponded with Jewish students of the colleges and universities of this city, and have helped in the establishment of special educational classes for the Turkish Jews, who form quite a colony on the lower East Side, and who, not knowing either Yiddish or English, could not avail themselves of existing agencies for Americanization. Social and Philanthropic Work.—The Kehillah took action with regard to the catastrophe of the Washington Place fire, in which many Jewish lives were lost. We have considered further the matter of the social evil, and have taken steps to cooperate with all existing agencies to combat this evil. We have been instrumental in having a number of indigent Jewish children transferred from non-Jewish to Jewish institutions. The matter of the treatment of Jews in non-Jewish hospitals having been called to tour attention, we have made an investigation of the complaints, and have also looked into the question of securing better chaplain attendance and services for Jews in city and State institutions. The problem of delinquent Jewish girls formed the subject of some correspondence with the Jewish Protectory and with other Jewish bodies. Our Employment Bureau for Handicapped Jews has continued to carry on its good work in cooperation with the United Hebrew Charities and the Jewish Protectory and Prisoners' Aid Society. We have cooperated with the Committee which is endeavoring to extend the work for Jewish deaf mutes. At the suggestion of your Committee, we have taken steps to encourage naturalization on the part of our immigrant brethren. A tentative plan has REPORT OF AMERICAN JEWISH COMMITTEE 3Q1 already been formulated, but in this, as well as in the carrying out of some of our other plans, we are hampered by lack of funds. To attract greater attention to the work of the different Jewish organizations and philanthropic institutions of this city, and to fill the want for a comprehensive and classified list of all the congregations, societies, and lodges, and the various social agencies of our population, we are now engaged in preparing a Jewish Communal Directory, which will be Issued the first of next year. This is, in brief, a summary of the leading activities that have engaged our attention since our Convention in February last. We have, in addition, been called upon to take part in various activities concerning the Jewish population, and have rendered assistance in arranging numerous difficulties which have arisen. We are a sort of clearing house, directing many Jews to Jewish institutions of whose existence they do not know. I have the honor to remain, Tours respectfully, (Signed) J. L. MAGNES, Chairman, Executive Committee. JEWISH COMMUNITY OF PHILADELPHIA The Jewish Community of Philadelphia was established on June 10,1911, and held its first Convention on November 5,1911. By its Constitution, as in the case of the New York Jewish Community, provision is made for its affiliation with the American Jewish Committee. That provision is as follows: ARTICLE VIII. RELATION TO THE AMERICAN JEWISH COMMITTEE 1. The representatives of the American Jewish Committee from the city of Philadelphia shall be elected by the Executive Council of the Community from among the delegates, in such numbers, and at such times as shall be provided by the By-Laws of the American Jewish Committee. 2. The American Jewish Committee shall have exclusive jurisdiction over all questions affecting the Jews generally, not of purely local character. 3. The Jewish Community of Philadelphia shall have jurisdiction over all questions of a local character, or which shall specifically affect the Philadelphia Community. 4. Any person, who shall have been elected a member of the American Jewish Committee, shall continue to complete his term of office in that Committee, notwithstanding the fact that he may not have been reelected a delegate. It is submitted to you for such action as may be deemed requisite. AMERICAN JEWISH TEAB BOOK Since 1909, the American Jewish Committee has cooperated with the Jewish Publication Society of America in the preparation of the AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK. The manuscript for the volume has been prepared in the office of the Committee, and the Committee has paid the cost of publication in excess of $1500. In view of the fact that the growth of the Publication Society increased the cost of the YEAR BOOK and, consequently, the annual subvention of 302 AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK the Committee, a new arrangement has this year been entered into with the Publication Society. Under its terms, the Committee agrees to pay $1000 annually toward the cost of publication, in consideration of which 500 copies of each issue are placed at its disposal. The Publication Society is to continue to publish the work as heretofore. In the current issue, as you are by this time aware, the leading article deals with the Passport Question. It is a re'sume' of the early history of the controversy and contains a full account of the correspondence of this Committee with the Presidents and Secretaries of State, most of it now made public for the first time. With each edition of the YEAR BOOK such changes are made in its contents and arrangement as experience proves advisable. This year, two of the lists, those of American Jewish Bibliography and of Articles of Jewish Interest, have been omitted, as it has been found impracticable to make them even approximately complete, and their inclusion would have extended the YEAR BOOK to undue length. With only these omissions, the usual lists and tables have been continued which are of value to all those interested in the communal and religious life of our people. The YEAR BOOK is especially valuable to this Committee, as it contains in permanent form the annual reports of the Committee. PRESS REPORTS OF RUSSIAN AFFAIRS On numerous occasions during recent years, attention has been drawn to the inadequacy of the news respecting Russian affairs in the columns of the daily papers. Important occurrences especially affecting the Jews of Russia have often been ignored, or, if reported at all, have omitted salient facts. On the other hand, the Russian Government has had little difficulty in having its own version of events reported and given wide publicity. Those who read the Jewish papers published in Europe, notably the London Jewish Chronicle, have been aware for a long period that no adequate accounts of the fiendish persecutions to which our coreligionists in Russia are subjected ever reach the columns of the American papers. We have endeavored from time to time to effect a change in this condition of affairs, and it is believed that as a result of these efforts some improvement in the Russian service may be anticipated. The members of this Committee are in position to assist in bringing about the desired results, if they will, whenever the opportunity arises, confer with the editors of the newspapers in their cities, and request that a more adequate treatment be accorded a subject in which the Jews of this country are so vitally interested. At the present time steps are being taken to secure news from Russian newspapers covering a certain period of time for compari- REPORT OF AMERICAN JEWISH COMMITTEE 303 son with the despatches appearing in the American press, in order that the shortcomings of the latter's Russian service may be further demonstrated. INCORPORATION It was considered advisable by your Executive Committee to incorporate the American Jewish Committee, and steps were taken to secure a charter from the Legislature of the State of New York. The act of incorporation of 1911 is published in the current issue of the AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK. At the meeting of the Executive Committee held on March 19, 1911, in accordance with Section 3 of the Charter, the members of the Executive Committee were divided by lot into three classes as follows: I. To serve until January 1, 1912. Mayer Sulzberger. Isaac W. Bernheim. Samuel Dorf. Julius Rosenwald. Cyrus L. Sulzberger. II. To serve until January 1, 1913. Julian W. Mack. Cyrus Adler. J. L. Magnes. Jacob H. Schiff. A. Leo Weil. III. To serve until January 1, 1914. Jacob H. Hollander. Harry Cutler. Louis Marshall. Isador Sobel. The incorporation of the Committee necessitated certain amendments to the By-Laws, which will be presented. The Executive Committee recommends in addition a further amendment whereby the process of enlarging the constituency of this Committee, which has been steadily increasing since its inception, will be still further developed. It is recommended that the following be incorporated in the By-Laws: The Executive Committee is authorized to Invite the National Jewish Fraternal Congress, representing thirteen Jewish Fraternal Orders, to elect three of its members to be members at large in the American Jewish Committee, and the following organizations, to elect one representative each to be members at large in the American Jewish Committee: The Independent Order B'nai B'rith, the Board of Delegates of the Union of Amerl20 304 AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK can Hebrew Congregations, the Union of American Hebrew Congregations, the Union of Orthodox Congregations, the Central Conference of American Rabbis, the Union of Orthodox Rabbis, the National Conference of Jewish Charities, and the Federation of American Zionists. In order to provide for the new members at large to be elected, the Executive Committee recommends that the By-Laws be amended to provide for twenty members at large instead of ten. FINANCES The contributions for the support of the Committee during the past year, while considerably below the quotas assigned to the several districts, have nevertheless enabled the Committee to carry on its work, by the practice of rigid economy. The quotas assigned are as follows: District I II III IV V VI Quota $200 200 200 200 200 200 District VII VIII Quota $1300 500 IX X XI XII 1200 XIII 500 300 500 5000 Total, $10,500. Owing to the confidential character of the work of the Committee, especially with respect to the Passport Question, it has not hitherto been possible to acquaint the public fully with the nature of the work we have engaged in. Accordingly, it was not thought advisable to make an appeal for contributions to any large number of persons. But the change of policy determined on with respect to the Passport Question, removing it from the realm of diplomatic correspondence to that of public discussion, has enabled your Committee to make an experiment in appealing to Jews all over the United States for support. Our first attempt was made by circularizing the members of the Jewish Publication Society of America, asking them to become annual contributors at one dollar each. The results have been fairly satisfactory, as, out of a membership of the Publication Society of between 7000 and 7500, 1007 persons responded by contributing $1340.40. We have thus established a large contributing annual membership throughout the country. A number of persons have generously contributed considerable sums in excess of the amount asked for. In view of the results attained, it may be well to consider the advisability of extending our efforts to persons other than the members of the Publication Society, to aid in procuring the amount requisite to carry on the work of the Committee during the ensuing year. REPORT OF AMERICAN JEWISH COMMITTEE 3Q5 RUSSIA The cruel treatment accorded our brethren in Russia by the Government shows no diminution in its intensity. Though the spirit of liberalism, upon which such high hopes were based, can never be entirely crushed out, it has made little effective progress in past years. Under Stolypin the triumph of the methods of reaction and repression was complete. As a consequence, the course of events affecting our coreligionists in Russia is a weary and heartrending chronicle of the breaking up of homes by expulsion from towns in which they have lived often for decades, of their deprivation of the means of livelihood, of the imposition of galling restrictions upon all means of education, and of ceaseless interference with the conduct of their own communal affairs. Students, professional men, artisans, merchants, all were made to feel the heavy hand of Stolypin. Reactionary Governors and administrative officials have seized upon the slightest pretexts for depriving the Jews of the few rights left to them. The fiendish " Black Hundreds " carry on campaigns of terrorism and annihilation throughout the provinces, unrestrained by any governmental agencies or any regard for law or decency of conduct. All over the Empire, from the Baltic to the Caucasus, in Siberia and in Central Asia, cruel and relentless officials are expelling Jews who settled outside the Pale during the years when the laws were not so strictly enforced. These unfortunates, leaving behind them the little property they had been able to amass, have no other recourse than to flock to the congested towns in the Pale, where the pressure has already reached a point beyond human power to bear. Some understanding of the magnitude and intensity of the relentless persecution may be gathered by a perusal of the pages of the YEAR BOOK devoted to Russian affairs. The barest recital of events fills more than thirty pages, every one of which contains item after item of expulsion, of persecution, of restriction, and of repression. This melancholy record can be read only with feelings of horror and dismay at the ultimate effect of such inhuman.and incessant hounding upon a helpless population. A ray of hopeful light was momentarily cast upon this dark picture when, in February last, 166 members of the Duma joined in the introduction of a bill abolishing the Pale. But these liberalminded men were only a handful, and could not prevail against Stolypin, whose mandate controlled the subservient majority. No result has therefore been attained, and the only apparent effects have been an increase in the passionate outbursts of anti-Jewish invective and a strengthening of the forces of persecution. JEWS OF TRIPOLI In March, 1911, reports appeared in the American press to the effect that the Jews of Tripoli were suffering from famine and cholera, and were urgently in need of assistance. A request sent 306 AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK to the Alliance Israelite Universelle for information as to this report brought forth the reply that the matter was receiving attention, and the necessary funds were being provided by the Alliance and other organizations of Europe. JEWS OF GALICIA In February, 1911, your Committee received an invitation from the Jewish Colonization Association (ICA), to send a delegate to a convention of representatives of Jewish organizations. At a preliminary meeting which had been held at Vienna on October 31, 1910, the ICA had determined to endeavor to organize an association for the amelioration of the spiritual and economic condition of the Galician Jews, whose situation during recent years has become more than ever distressful. At its meeting on February 19, your Committee determined that by reason of the great distance which separates us from the seat of the work, and the large and important problems constantly pressing upon the Jews of the United States, it was not feasible for us to be represented by a delegate in the new organization, and this determination was communicated to the ICA. WASHINGTON OFFICE The Washington office has been continued, and has, as heretofore, proved of great usefulness in keeping your Committee informed of affairs in Washington. INFORMATION AND STATISTICS Besides the preparation of the manuscript for the AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK, the routine work of the office of the Committee has, as heretofore, consisted in the gathering, indexing, and filing of articles and a few books of interest to Jews. During the year, 2479 articles were indexed, for which 3552 cards were written. This brines the total of articles on file up to 10,627, and of index cards to 15,194. This collection has again demonstrated its usefulness during the discussion of the passport and immigration questions. DEATH OF SAMUEL WOOLNEB Your Committee reports with sorrow the death on January 14, 1911, of Samuel Woolner, a member from District VII. Mr. Woolner was a member of the Committee from the date of its organization and cooperated with zeal in furthering its work upon all occasions when called upon to render service. Appropriate messages of condolence were sent to his family at the time of his death.

Respectfully submitted, THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE. ACTION ON THE REPORT, ETC. Upon motion, it was resolved that the report of the Executive Committee be received, and that its recommendations be considered seriatim. Upon motion of Mr. Marshall, it was resolved that the Charter of the American Jewish Committee, embodied in Chapter 16 of the laws of 1911, of the State of New York, be and the same is hereby accepted by the American Jewish Committee, and that the action of the Executive Committee, which had accepted the Charter, be ratified and confirmed. Upon motion of Mr. Marshall, it was resolved that the changes in the By-Laws of the American Jewish Committee made necessary by the adoption of the Charter, which have been proposed by the Executive Committee, be and the same are hereby ratified and adopted by the American Jewish Committee. Upon motion, it was resolved that Article VIII of the Constitution of the Jewish Community of Philadelphia, setting forth the relation between that organization and the American Jewish Committee, be ratified by the American Jewish Committee. It was further resolved that the State of Pennsylvania, now constituting District IX Of the American Jewish Committee, be divided into two districts, namely, District IX, to include the City of Philadelphia, to be entitled to six members in the American Jewish Committee; and District XIV, to include the State of Pennsyl- 308 AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK vania, outside of the City of Philadelphia, and the State of New Jersey, and to be entitled to two members in the American Jewish Committee. It was further resolved that the amendments to the By-Laws, proposed by the Executive Committee, providing for representation on the Committee of delegates from national Jewish organizations, as members at large, and increasing the number of members at large from ten to twenty, be adopted. Discussion on the Passport Question followed. Judge Sulzberger stated that a delegation of Jewish citizens of Philadelphia had called upon Senator Boies Penrose, of Pennsylvania, and had made representations to him on the subject, and had secured his promise of hearty cooperation. Senator Lodge, of Massachusetts, had also been approached in a similar manner. Mr. Marshall announced that a delegation of New York citizens would call on Senators Root and O'Gorman on November 17, 1911. Ways and means were determined upon to further the plans of bringing about the termination of the Russian Treaty. The Committee on Nominations made the following report: OFFICERS President Mayer Sulzberger Vice-Presidents ! J u l i a n W> M a c k Vice-Fresiaents j JIsaac a c o b RW.

Nathan Bijur and Isidor Straus were elected members at large for one year. There being no other nominations, upon motion the Secretary was requested to cast one ballot for the nominees of the Committee on Nominations. REPORT OF AMERICAN JEWISH COMMITTEE 3Q9 Upon motion of Mr. Weil, it was resolved that the Executive Committee redistrict the American Jewish Committee so as to give each State of the United States at least one representative, that no State of the Union shall he unrepresented, and that the total number of additional members shall not exceed fifty. Upon motion of Mr. Weil, it was resolved that the Executive Committee be instructed to prepare a list of prominent Jews throughout the country, and that they apportion the men on the list into respective groups, and invite the several groups to contribute varying amounts annually to the American Jewish Committee. Dr. Neumann moved as an amendment to this motion that there shall be one class, the members of which shall contribute one dollar annually. The motion and amendment were carried. Dr. Magnes pointed out the advantage of a better knowledge on the part of European Jews of the affairs of American Jewry, and suggested that the American Jewish Committee take under advisement the subventioning of a publication in the Hebrew language, in which full information of Jewish activities in this country may be given. After discussion, it was resolved that this matter be referred to the Executive Committee for consideration. Upon motion, adjourned.

JEWISH PUBLICATION SOCIETY 319 MEETING OP THE TWENTY-FOURTH YEAE The annual meeting of The Jewish Publication Society of America was held Sunday evening, May 26, 1912, at Keneseth Israel Temple, Broad Street, above Columbia Avenue, Philadelphia, Pa. The President of the Society, Mr. Edwin Wolf, called the meeting to order. Mr. I. George Dobsevage, of New York, acted as Secretary of the meeting. The President read his annual address. PRESIDENT'S ADDRESS Ladies and Gentlemen: We have concluded our twenty-fourth year with the largest membership in the history of the Society. We have now over ten thousand members. Compared with the preceding year, this means a net increase of thirtythree per cent, or four thousand members. The largest gains were secured in the Central West and in New England. New Hampshire, which had five members, now has about twenty times that number, the small Jewish community of Manchester alone supplying eighty members. An encouraging item is the steady increase of the sales of our publications. In 1902 our total income from sales for the year was $1700 ; in 1907 it grew to $2500. Last year the actual sales were about $14,000. Graetz's " History of the Jews " still continues to be our best seller, though by its side we have succeeded in creating a demand for our other books, and are establishing in many homes collections of Jewish books requiring a more than five-foot shelf to hold them. In all we distributed last year over forty thousand copies of our publications. Gratifying as these results are, we must not fail to take into account the heavy cost of publishing our books and bringing them to the attention of new readers. Last year we spent thirty thousand dollars for the manufacture of our new publications, replenishing our old stock, and for commissions to agents for securing new members. With the constant increase in the cost of production, the problem of meeting this outlay has become grave. In all departments of industrial life the price of commodities has risen to meet the increased cost of production and distribution. Are we not justified in asking our members to face the situation? With this end in view, I would recommend that, this meeting deliberate upon the advisability of increasing our annual dues to five dollars. Our Board of Trustees has decided to start to-night a campaign for the establishment of a fund sufficient to insure the publication of the Bible Translation, and to enable us to erect a permanent home for the Society. With proper encouragement we should be able to announce at our twentyfifth annual meeting, in 1913, that the Society has succeeded in placing itself on a sound financial basis. This would constitute a most fitting celebration after a quarter of a century of activity in behalf of Judaism and Jewish literature. The books of the past year have been favorably received by the public and the press. We shall hear to-night a critical valuation from one eminently qualified to review them. The publications of the forthcoming year will consist of a romance of the Egyptian bondage entitled " The Sign above the Door," by Mr. W. W. Canfield. T H E AMERICAN JEWISH YEAH BOOK for 5673 will contain an article on the Jew in Agriculture which, if not so effective in producing a practical, immediate result as the article 21 5 320 AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK on the Passport Question, will, nevertheless, be of far-reaching value. The third book of the year will be a collection of essays from the pen of Professor Israel Abrahams, of Cambridge University, England. The last book of the year will be the fourth volume of Professor Ginzberg's " Legends of the Jews." The Bible editors are now revising the Book of Psalms. Soon they will have finished the entire revision, and we shall be confronted with the problem of a ready manuscript, an expectant public, but no funds to pay for paper, printing, binding, and shipping. I shall not dwell upon the importance and timeliness of these matters, as I prefer to hear an expression of opinion from the members present, to whom the extensive development of our work must appeal with especial force. REPORT OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES FOR 1911-1912 The Report of the Board of Trustees was as follows: The Jewish Publication Society of America has concluded its twenty-fourth year.
