PREFACE

The leading article in this, the fourteenth, issue of theAMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK is devoted to a survey, by Mr.Leonard G. Robinson, of the Agricultural Activities of theJews in America, with special reference to the experiments,failures, and successes in the United States. It is a contribu-tion to the history of a phase of Jewish activity to which toolittle attention has hitherto been paid, and which should re-ceive widespread notice, as the achievements recorded, to-gether with much unsuccessful endeavor, are of a high order.After the publication of this article, the ground will be takenfrom under the feet of those who contend that agriculture isan occupation which has no attractions for the Jews.

Easily first of the events last year in Jewry, not only of thiscountry but of all the world, is the abrogation of the Treatyof 1832 with Russia. Its epochal significance makes it takerank with such historical events as the emancipation of theJews in France and the removal of the disabilities of the Jewsof England, if it does not surpass them in importance. Ameasure of the extraordinary extent to which public attentionwas focussed upon the indignity which Russia, for more thana generation, had put upon American citizenship, may begathered from the multiplicity and variety of the articles inthe public press, an incomplete collection of which numbersno less than 3300 clippings. When made familiar with thefacts, the newspapers from Maine to California, from theGreat 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 de-

VI PREFACE

fense of American citizenship, Congress gave willing heed.The hearings given to the American Jewish Committee andother organizations by the House Committee on Foreign Af-fairs and the Senate Committee on Foreign Eelations were sofull, and the arguments were presented in so convincing a man-ner, that the Congress was moved to take practically unanimousaction favoring the abrogation of the Treaty, which, by noticeof President Taft, tendered to Eussia on the 17th of Decem-ber, 1911, brought to an end from and after January 1, 1913,the principal instrument binding the United States withRussia.

Without the doors of Congress, the most significant singleevent in connection with the Treaty-abrogation movementwas the great mass meeting held on December 6, 1911, atCarnegie Hall, under the auspices of the National Citizens'Committee of which Andrew D. White, formerly Minister toRussia and Ambassador to Berlin, was President, and Wil-liam G. McAdoo was Chairman of the Executive Committee.Mass meetings were held in other cities as well, and were ad-dressed by men of distinction, but none had the national im-portance of the Carnegie Hall meeting.

If the passport question reached a culmination, gratifyingto Jews the world over, the same cannot be said of the attemptsat the passage in Congress of bills aimed at restricting im-migration. Though it has been the traditional policy of thecountry merely to regulate and never to restrict immigration—except in the case of the Chinese—the Dillingham Billwhich passed the Senate was a strongly restrictionist measurewith many harsh provisions. In the House Committee onImmigration, the Burnett Bill, subjecting all immigrants toan educational test, was substituted for the Dillingham Bill,

and favorably reported to the House. At this writing, no ac-tion has as yet been taken upon the bill, but if it fails at thissession of Congress, it will unquestionably come up again atthe next session, and the friends of the immigrant must beprepared for another contest, to prevent him from being shutout of the country. Though the United States ImmigrationCommission, appointed under the act of 1907, did not reportany bill, it recommended the restriction of immigration, andadvocated a reading and writing test as the most feasiblesingle method of carrying out its recommendations. Forthis proposed reversal of the traditional policy of the countrythe immense and undigested mass of miscellaneous datagathered by the Commission furnishes no justification. Ashas been freely admitted by its own experts, the Commissioncollected a much greater mass of material than there was op-portunity properly to examine, and when forced by Congress toconclude the investigation at a definite date, it made hastygeneralizations, which its own collection of material does notwarrant. The immigration question is still a pressing one,therefore, and it is safe to say that more will be recordedabout it in subsequent YEAR BOOKS.

As before, it gives me pleasure to make acknowledgmentof the helpful suggestions received from Miss Henrietta Szoldand Dr. Cyrus Adler.

AGRICULTURAL ACTIVITIES OF THE JEWS INAMERICA

BY LEONAED G. EOBINSON *

GENEEAL MANAGER, THE JEWISH AGRICULTURAL AND INDUSTRIAL AIDSOCIETY, NEW YORK CITY

INTRODUCTION

There is a tendency to go far afield in the discussion ofagriculture as a vocation. This tendency is specially evidentin the treatment of the Jew as an agriculturist. It is arguedby some that the Jews, having been originally an agriculturalpeople, should go back to the calling of their forefathers.Others, on the contrary, maintain that since they have not beentillers of the soil for nearly two thousand years, it is folly toexpect Jews to make a success at it at this late date. Bothsides seem to overlook the fact that the only inducement toengage in agriculture or, indeed, in any other occupation, isthe individual profit and satisfaction expected therefrom. If aman can improve his condition—not necessarily financial—ona farm, it is a good reason for his becoming a farmer. If not,there is every reason for his staying away. As for the Jewishfarmer, it does not always occur to either side that he is ahuman being and is actuated by the same motives, and must bejudged 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. GabrielDavidson, for the revision of the manuscript and for their manyvaluable suggestions which have been freely incorporated in thisarticle.

Judging from the discussions frequently seen on the subjectit might be supposed that the movement of the Jew toward thefarm is very recent; that there is a great hiatus between theJewish farmer of Biblical times and of the present day; andthat the Jewish farmer of to-day is a hothouse plant carefullynurtured by the money and efforts of his philanthropic co-religionists. As a matter of fact, there never was a time whenJews did not engage in agriculture, and this notwithstandingthe vexatious restrictions designed to uproot them from the soiland force them into industrial and commercial life. Thepresent-day movement toward the soil is merely the result ofthe removal of the restrictions that made agriculture to theJew a forbidden or a hazardous occupation.

It is true that expulsions and pogroms have necessitated theestablishment of philanthropic organizations without which itwould have been impossible to deal with the exceptional con-ditions affecting the lives of so many distracted and uprootedhuman beings. But these organizations are now constantly en-gaged in eliminating the eleemosynary element, and are actingmerely as guides, directing and encouraging those who areanxious, of their own initiative, to take up farming for a live-lihood.

For the most part, this article endeavors to relate the storyof the activities of the Jews in agriculture on the Americancontinent. By reason of the traditional ties that bind theJews of the world to Palestine; the direct relations of a variedcharacter that the Jews of the United States have with Pales-tine; and the extent to which resettlement there may in thefuture have effect in diverting the stream pouring out ofEussia, it has been deemed appropriate to open with a sketchof the colonizing undertakings in Palestine.

AGRICULTURAL ACTIVITIES OF JEWS IN AMERICA 23

The close interrelation between the Eussian exodus and thegrowth of agricultural activities in America has also made itappropriate that an account should be given of Bussian-Jewishagriculture.

PALESTINE

In all likelihood the dispersion of the Children of Israelafter the taking of Jerusalem by the Eomans was not asthorough as is generally believed. Many Jews must haveremained in their own country, and not a few doubtless fol-lowed their customary vocations. It is therefore not onlypossible but quite probable that some Jews have always beenfarming in Palestine. Benjamin of Tudela records the findingof Jewish farming settlements in the Holy Land in 1170, andin 1481 Volterra found a settlement of about sixty Jewishfarmers at Gaza. Other travellers tell of similar discoveriesfrom time to time.

But the rehabilitation of Jewish agriculture in Palestinehad its beginning only in the latter part of the nineteenthcentury. In the early fifties considerable agitation was set onfoot throughout Europe, aiming at the return of the Jews tothe Holy Land. Cremieux, Sir Moses Montefiore, and others,devoted much time and attention to the furtherance of thisidea. In his " Diaries " Sir Moses speaks of colonizing somethirty-five families from Safed. But whether a beginning wasactually made, where this colony was located, or what becameof it, is not clear.

Nothing of a tangible nature seems to have been accomplisheduntil the Alliance Israelite Universelle was induced to takean interest in the movement. This organization was foundedin Paris in 1860, as a result of the persecutions to which the

Page 33: OF ABOUT FOUR THOUSAND YEARS PROF. HE1NRICH GRAETZ'S ... · special aeticles in previous issues of the american jewish year book the alliance israelite univebselle, 5661, pp. 45-65

24 AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK

Jews of Eastern Europe and other Eastern countries were sub-jected. Its object was to promote the general moral progress ofthe Jews and to protect those suffering from persecution. In1868, at the solicitation of several Rabbis, the Alliance sentCharles Netter, one of its organizers, to Palestine to investigatethe possibility of locating Jews upon farms. The result ofNetter's visit was the founding, in 1870, of the AgriculturalSchool of Mikweh-Israel, for which purpose the Sultan do-nated 650 acres of land, east of Jaffa, on the road from Jaffa toJerusalem. The object of this school was to train Jewishyouths as agriculturists, to form nuclei of Jewish colonieseventually to be established in Palestine. Up to October 31,1908, the number of pupils that had attended the school was857, of whom 405 were graduated after taking the full courseof seven years. The school's equipment is modern, and the in-struction is practical as well as scientific. The number ofpupils registered in 1908-1909 was seventy-eight. Graduatesof the school are to be found on their own farms in Palestineand elsewhere. Some are employed as agricultural instructorsin the colonies and in Turkish provinces other than Palestine,while those who show exceptional promise are sent to pursuepost-graduate work in the agricultural schools of France.

Contrary to the general belief, which makes Petach-Tikwahthe oldest colony, this distinction seems to belong to Mozah, asuburb of Jerusalem. Rabbi Hirsch Kalischer, of Thorn,Prussia, and other Rabbis in Europe sent out an appeal urgingthe establishment of agricultural colonies in Palestine, with aview to improving the condition of the Jews living in thatcountry. Funds were collected, 127 acres of land were bought,and in 1873 several families were placed thereon. These pion-eers had a hard struggle for existence, but to-day the little

settlement is in a flourishing condition, and its members arechiefly engaged in viticulture, and in truck farming for theJerusalem market.

The year 1878 saw the founding of the largest and the mostprosperous of the Palestinian colonies. Several Jewish resi-dents of Jerusalem bought a tract of land of 767 acres, about sixmiles north of Jaffa, and named the settlement Petach-Tikwah.A part of the land was low, marshy, and malarial, and most ofthe colonists were attacked by fever, and obliged to leave. Butin 1883 the Society Hovevei Zion of Odessa placed a fewRussian immigrants from Bielistock on the abandoned land.Profiting by the experience of the former colonists, the housesof the new settlers were built on higher and healthier ground.This proved more successful, and many of these settlers, ortheir children, are still cultivating their original holdings.

Thus far the motives for Jewish colonization in Palestinewere, on the one hand, economic—the encouragement of thepoverty-stricken and dependent Jews in the cities of Palestineto become self-supporting and self-respecting—and, on theother, religious. Neither of these motives seems to have beensufficiently strong to exercise a perceptible influence on Jewishagriculture in the Holy Land. The impetus to Jewish coloniza-tion in Palestine and elsewhere was given by the renewed out-break of persecution and lawlessness that raged in Eussia inthe early eighties. A general exodus took place. The border-ing countries were overrun with destitute refugees having noobjective point. Soon a wave of nationalism swept over Euro-pean Jewry, and the cry went forth that the only salvationfor the Jew was to return to the land of his forefathers. Dr.Pinsker's " Auto Emancipation " and other books and articlesfavoring that course made their appearance. The agitation

gained momentum. Committees were organized in nearlyevery centre in Europe, and funds were collected for the cause.The Alliance Israelite Universelle had no faith in the move-ment, and showed little interest in it. Yet the tide wasstrong, and many refugees, with or without assistance or en-couragement from their more fortunate brethren, emigrated toPalestine with the object of establishing themselves as tillersof the soil. But the greatest impetus to Palestinian coloniza-tion has arisen as the result of the modern Zionist movementorganized by Dr. Theodor Herzl in 1896.

The first of the colonies to be founded as a result of theconditions just described was Rishon-le-Zion. In 1882 severalRussian refugees from Moghileff, led by Hirsch Leventin,bought land about six miles south of Jaffa, on the road fromJaffa to Gaza, The same year saw the founding of the colonyWady-el-Chanin two miles away, also by Russian Jews, and ofthe colonies of Sammarin (Zichron-Jakob) in Samaria and ofRosh-Pina in Galilee by Roumanian Jews. About one hun-dred students from Russian universities came the same year towork as farm laborers. These students were members of anorganization called " Bilu," which word is made up of theinitial letters of the Hebrew phrase meaning " come let us goto the house of Jacob." They eventually founded the colony ofHedera.

In 1883 some Russian immigrants founded the colony ofYessod-Hamaaleh in Galilee. These colonists, like those whopreceded them, were chiefly merchants and mechanics. Theyhad no knowledge of agriculture, and what little money theyhad was soon lost in their venture. The economic situationof this settlement as well as that of the other Palestiniancolonies at that time became extremely precarious. But the

AGRICULTURAL ACTIVITIES OF JEWS IN AMERICA 27

colonists of Yessod-Hamaaleh enlisted the interest of theHovevei Zion of Eussia, and a committee of two was sent toParis, who induced Baron Edmond de Eothschild to come tothe assistance of this colony.

The first step taken by Baron Rothschild was to build anirrigation plant in Yessod-Hamaaleh, using Lake Huleh as areservoir. He also planted a nursery garden, and encouragedthe cultivation of roses, which has since become its chiefindustry. These are distilled into attar of roses in a perfumedistillery Baron Eothschild erected. He also came to the assist-ance of the other colonies, and it was due largely to his gener-osity that they survived. In Eishon-le-Zion he undertook thedevelopment of viticulture on a large scale. To prevent phyllox-era, American vine stocks were imported, on which Frenchshoots were grafted. A large wine cellar was erected, modernequipment was installed for the manufacture of wine, andexperts from France were sent to assist in the development ofPalestinian wine growing and the making of wines and cognacs.It took ten years, and it cost Baron Eothschild millions offrancs, to bring Palestinian viticulture to its present state ofdevelopment. Mulberry trees for the culture of the silk-wormand fruit trees, such as almonds, figs, and citrus fruit, werealso planted in this and other colonies.

Baron Eothschild also took the colony Sammarin under hisprotection, 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 toEosh-Pina to plant fruit trees, especially of the citrus variety,besides olives and almonds. In 1884 Baron Eothschild boughta tract of land in Ekron, and named the colony Mazkeret-Bathya, after his mother. Petach-Tikwah was taken in hand in

28 AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK

1887. He planted eucalyptus trees around the marshes toeradicate the malaria, and with the improvement of sanitaryconditions, this colony grew rapidly, and is now the largest andmost flourishing of Palestinian colonies.

Baron Eothschild's effective interest in Palestine served topreserve the existing colonies. But the influence of his activityextended beyond the colonies which he had founded or assisted.Newly established organizations, having as their object thedevelopment of Palestinian agriculture, began to buy land forcolonization. Hedera and Kefar-Saba were established by theEzra, a German society founded in 1884 with the object ofestablishing Jewish farm laborers in the colonies upon farmsof their own. Kinneret was founded by the Palestine LandDevelopment Company of England, and Merhawya by the ErezYisroel Siedlungsgesellschaft of Cologne. Colonies were alsoestablished by immigrants independently and without assist-ance from any source. Rehobot, for example, was founded byimmigrants from Warsaw, and Artuf by Bulgarians. Ameasure of the interest in Palestinian colonization may begathered from the fact that between the years 1883 and 1896twenty-two colonies were founded.

In 1896 the Jewish Colonization Association (ICA), uponthe urgent solicitation of Baron Eothschild, began loaningmoney to colonists in Palestine. The following year it bought4400 acres of land in Galilee, on which the colony of Sedjerawas founded, and farm laborers from other colonies were placedthereon as tenants. In 1910 Baron Rothschild, wishing toperpetuate 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 withdrewpaternal 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 theindividual colonists self-governing and independent. A strik-ing illustration of the effect of this action was the organization,in 1906, of the Societe Cooperative de Vignerons (WineGrowers Association) to which organization the ICA turnedover the wine-cellars of Eishon-le-Zion and Zichron-Jakob.These cellars had been conducted by Baron Rothschild at aconsiderable annual loss. The cooperative association not onlybrought better net results to the wine growers, but was able in1911 to pay to Baron Rothschild 450,000 francs on account ofits indebtedness to him. The Jewish Colonization Association,besides lending its moral and financial assistance in the way ofloans to the existing colonies, owns considerable land in variousparts of Palestine, on which it employs Jewish farm laborers.After a period of probation farms are rented to them, and theyare subsequently established upon farms of their own.

In accordance with the figures given by the Zionist organiza-tion, the number of Jewish agricultural colonies in Palestinein 1911, was forty-one, comprising a population of about 9500souls and occupying 79,072 acres of land. Following is a tablegiving the names of the colonies, date of foundation, area, andpopulation; also the gross income of each colony for the year1910, when obtainable. (For Table, see p. 30.)

In addition to these colonies, considerable land is held byBaron Rothschild, the Jewish Colonization Association, thePalestine Land Development Company of London, the GeulahSociety of Odessa, the Agudath Netaim of Jaffa, theHoachooza Society of St. Louis, and a number of public-spirited individuals, with a view to future settlement.

The economic situation of the Jewish colonies in Palestinehas improved from year to year. The figures given in the

preceding table, showing the gross income of some of thecolonies, do not truly represent the exact situation. The year1910, besides being one of severe drought, was also a sabbaticalyear, and not a few of the colonists observed it as of yore. InYessod-Hamaaleh, for example, out of thirty-two colonists,twenty-one observed the sabbatical year, and not only did theynot cultivate their lands, but even neglected harvesting theirfruits.

Many of the colonists have liquidated their debts to BaronRothschild and are prosperous. A colonist in Rishon-le-Zion,by the name of Levine, sold 5500 cases of oranges in 1910, fromwhich he realized 16,000 francs; another, by the name ofAbramovitz, distilled 20 kilos of attar of roses, which he soldat 35 francs per kilo. The area planted with oranges in thecolonies of Judea alone is about 1750 acres, representing aninvestment of over 5,000,000 francs. The grapes taken in 1910by the Wine Growers Association from the colonists in Judeaand Samaria amounted to about 1000 tons. However, viticul-ture appears to have been overdone, and the Wine GrowersAssociation has paid the cost of replacing the vineyards withfruit trees in some of the colonies, where the grapes are not ofa high quality. The Pardess (Orange Growers Association) isdoing among the fruit growers what the first named associationdoes for the wine growers. Improved farming methods arebeing adopted constantly, and wherever possible irrigationplants are constructed. Besides the cultivation of fruit, suchas oranges, as well as almonds and olives, the raising of cereals,wheat, barley, and so on, is engaged in to a constantly increas-ing extent. Some cotton is raised in Petach-Tikwah andMilhamie, but with indifferent success. In Metula, the summerboarding industry adds considerably to the income of the

colony. In all the colonies each settler usually has a stonehouse, a kitchen, and flower garden, besides a horse or otherbeast of burden, a cow or goat, and some poultry.

The municipal affairs of the colonies are gradually beingassumed by local elective boards. In many of the colonies thepublic utilities are owned and controlled by the colonists co-operatively. Each colony has one or more synagogues, aschool building, and some a town hall, a hospital, and otherpublic or communal buildings. In the schools the teaching isconducted, as a rule, in Arabic and Hebrew. Most of the col-onies also have kindergartens. The religious schools (TalmudTorahs) in many of them are conducted by the Freie Vereini-gung, a German society. As to agricultural education, besidesMikweh-Israel, the Jewish National Fund established, in 1911,in the colony Ben-Schamen, an agricultural school in connec-tion with the industrial school Bezalel. A number of othersocieties also conduct in the colonies educational work of variouskinds.

THE JEWISH AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENT STATION AT HAIFA

The growth of the Jewish colonies has opened the eyes ofthe world to the needs and the possibilities of Palestinian agri-culture. Men of science also have become interested in thecountry as the probable birthplace of our cultivated cereals,wheat and barley. In 1906, Aaron Aaronsohn, the son ofone of the Eoumanian pioneers of Zichron-Jakob, found,after painstaking investigation, a few ears of wild wheatgrowing on the declivities of Mount Hermon. The scientificworld hailed the discovery as epoch-making, because of itsrelation to the possibilities of dry farming in arid regions.

Meantime, the Jewish National Fund of the Zionist organiza-tion charged itself, in consequence of a resolution taken by theInternational Congress held at Basle in 1903, with the collec-tion of moneys for the foundation of an agricultural experimentstation in Palestine. Aaronsohn was commissioned to studythe question of the hybridization of wild wheat. He travelledextensively in Northern Africa and Southern Europe, andcame to America in 1910. While here, he established relationswith the United States Department of Agriculture, which tooka keen interest in his discoveries, and published a Bulletin byhim entitled "Agricultural and Botanical Explorations inPalestine."

Through the United States Department of Agriculture,Aaronsohn and his work were brought to the notice of a numberof prominent American Jews, who at his initiative established,February 18, 1910, the Jewish Agricultural ExperimentStation, a New York corporation, with Julius Kosenwald, ofChicago, president; Morris Loeb, of New York, vice-presi-dent; Paul M. Warburg, of New York, treasurer; and Hen-rietta Szold, of New York, secretary. The objects of the cor-poration, to quote from its by-laws, " are the establishment,maintenance, and support of Agricultural Experiment Stationsin Palestine and other countries; the development and im-provement of cereals, fruits, and vegetables indigenous to Pales-tine and neighboring lands, the production of new species thera-from and their distribution elsewhere; the advancement ofagriculture throughout the world, and the giving of instructionin new and improved methods of farming." The by-lawsprovide further that " the activities of the corporation shall beconducted exclusively on a scientific and educational basis,without religious, national, or political tendency of any kind."

Funds were raised by the corporation for installation andthe running expenses for a period of five years. The demon-stration fields are situated at Atlit, at the foot of Mount Carmel,on land belonging to Baron Rothschild. A sub-station, chieflyfor fruit culture, is situated in the Jewish colony of Hedera,on land offered by the colonists for the purpose. A second sub-station is being established on land donated by J. Kremenetskyof Vienna in the neighborhood of the colony of Petach-Tikwah,and other demonstration fields will be planted at Marrah, wherea twenty-five acre plot has been put at the disposal of the Stationby colonists. Recently Mr. Nathan Straus, of New York,enlarged the available territory of the Station by purchasingfor it one of the foothills of Mount Carmel, adjoining thedemonstration field at Atlit, on which pomological and re-forestation experiments are to be instituted. Through hisgenerosity a health bureau was also established in connectionwith the Station.

The Station has occupied itself since its establishment withthe hybridization of wild cereals. At the same time plantationson a large scale have been made of fruit trees, vines, mulberrytrees, various sorts of fodder, and ornamental plants. Forthe purpose of experimentation with species adapted to themany varieties of soil and climatic conditions that characterizePalestine, plants have been imported from America, fromFrance, and elsewhere.

The Station has already won the confidence of the Palestinianpublic. The Jewish colonists, to the north and the south,resort to it for advice and information, both with regard totheir plantings, and with regard to the introduction and use ofmodern machinery. Even the old-established German Templarcolonies, which have long claimed their grapes as the best

grown in Palestine, have enlisted the services of the Station toaid in the solution of difficult agricultural problems.

THE ORIENT

Outside of Palestine Jewish agriculture in the Easterncountries is relatively of little importance. The first of theJewish agricultural activities in these countries was the found-ing of the Agricultural School of Djedeida in Tunis, in 1895,by the Alliance Israelite Universelle. This school is locatedon a tract of 4500 acres of land near the city of Tunis. Thepupils are mainly drawn from the native Jewish inhabitants,and usually number about a hundred. The ICA contributestoward the maintenance of the school by paying for a certainnumber of pupils each year, as it does at the school of Mikweh-Israel.

Another agricultural school, Or-Jehouda, was founded bythe Jewish Colonization Association in 1899 in the vicinity ofSmyrna, in Asia Minor. The school is located on a tract ofabout 7500 acres.

In 1901 Otto Warburg, of Berlin, was instrumental infounding 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 meansof their own, who are making good progress.

On the Island of Cyprus the Ahavath Zion Society of Lon-don, composed largely of Eussian Jews from Minsk and War-saw, started three small colonies in 1897, Margo, Cholmakchi,and Kouklia. The total population of these colonies in 1910was 110.

EUSSIA

The first movement in the direction of placing the Jew uponthe soil in. Eussia was initiated by Emperor Alexander I. In1802 he appointed a commission to study the Jewish question,and upon the recommendation of that commission a plan wasoutlined for the colonization of Jews in the western and south-western provinces. The first seven colonies of Jewish farmerswere founded in 1806 in the Province of Kherson in New(Southern) Eussia. Permission was given to Jews to buy orrent land. For the assistance of those without means theGovernment contributed some 80,000 acres of land, besidespromising its financial and moral support to the enterprise.Aside from the vexatious restrictions which tended to hamperthe new colonists, they were placed upon land suitable only forextensive cultivation, for which they had neither the financialmeans nor sufficient land. The Government, too, had not keptits pledges, and many of the colonists, finding the situationhopeless, became discouraged and left. Nevertheless, by 1810,some 1690 families were to be found in these colonies. Withthe exception of 443 additional families settled in 1823, coloni-zation was practically at a standstill. An Imperial edict issuedin 1810, and another in 1823, put an end to Jewish colonizationfor the time.

In 1835 Alexander's successor, Emperor Nicholas I, madean effort to revive the movement of colonizing Jews in NewEussia on much more liberal terms. As a further inducementcolonists were relieved from taxation and from military servicefor a certain number of years, and wealthy Jews who founded acolony of one hundred persons were to be raised to the nobility.But the experience of those who had returned from the oldcolonies in Kherson was not yet forgotten, and the scheme did

not arouse much interest. The following year a commission wasappointed by the Emperor, which recommended the fertileplains of the Siberian provinces as more suitable for Jewishcolonization. About 40,000 acres of land were appropriated bythe Government for this purpose. The new project was hailedwith enthusiasm by Jewish leaders as well as by Jews ingeneral. But in 1837, before any of the plans could be carriedinto 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 forpermission to settle in Siberia had grown to a considerable vol-ume. Many of the would-be colonists, accepting the Govern-ment plan in good faith, did not wait for final arrangements tobe completed, and started on their way to Siberia. On reachingtheir destination, after travelling over two thousand miles,upon orders from St. Petersburg, they were seized and trans-ported to Kherson, where the former colonies were established,a distance of about twenty-five hundred miles. Considering themode of transportation at the time, it is easy to see what suffer-ing and hardships these helpless would-be colonists must haveundergone. Many of them died on the way; others were too illto continue their journey, and were placed in hospitals en route.Those that reached their destination were too exhausted and tooill to be fit for anything. Several thousand men, women, andchildren were left by the Government without food or shelter,and the ravages of famine and disease were appalling. Not theleast of their troubles was the maltreatment the colonists hadreceived at the hands of the Russian officials in whose chargethey had been placed.

By 1841, however, four new colonies were started, and in1845 there were in all, in the province of Kherson, fifteen

Jewish colonies, comprising 1661 families, with a population of12,779 souls. After 1849 Jewish colonists were chiefly directedto the province of Ekaterinoslaff. By 1856, fifteen colonieswere founded in this province, comprising 766 families. In theprovince of Bessarabia, nine colonies were founded between theyears 1836 and 1853. Despite the many obstacles encountered,Jewish colonization made much headway. Colonies grew upeverywhere, and Jews in large numbers also settled on indi-vidual farms in nearly every part of the Eussian Empire. Inthe northwestern provinces the colonization of Jews on Govern-ment as well as on private lands proceeded simultaneously.But in 1859 the further settlement of Jews on Governmentland was stopped, and in 1864 they were prohibited from set-tling even on private lands. Jewish colonization ceased, andthe May Laws of 1881 served not only to restrict the growthof Jewish agriculture in Eussia, but actually to decrease it.

According to official figures for the year 1870, there were inthe nine northwestern provinces a total of 216 Jewish farmingsettlements, covering over 90,000 acres and comprising a, popu-lation of 34,475. A canvass made by the Jewish ColonizationAssociation in 1898 shows the number of Jewish fanning col-onies in the northwestern, southwestern, and southern prov-inces to be 296, as follows:

through the Empire. The first general census of the EussianEmpire, which appeared in 1897, gives the number of Jewsengaged in agricultural pursuits as 40,611, and the number ofsouls dependent upon them for support as over 150,000, makingthe Jewish farming population in Kussia approximately 200,-000. The acreage owned by Jews in the Empire is given as6,422,684.

The economic position of the Jewish farmers in Eussia isdoubtless growing more precarious from year to year. Bad asis the condition of the Eussian peasant farmer, that of the Jewis infinitely worse. Beginning as they did with 81.1 acres perfamily, which, with the agricultural methods pursued at thattime, was hardly sufficient to give a family of fair size anopportunity to make a respectable living, the holdings of theJewish farmers constantly decreased, until the average in 1898for the entire country was as low as 23.4 acres. In the southernprovinces (New Eussia) the average is 30.6 acres; in the north-western provinces 24.2 acres; while in the southwestern prov-inces it is only 14.3 acres. This reduction was caused, in thefirst place, by the natural increase in the number of familiesin these colonies, who had to be provided for from the scantyholdings, which could not be increased either by purchase orlease, but chiefly through the action of the Government, whichfrom time to time deprived Jewish colonists of their holdingsof large tracts of Government land, on which they had beenpreviously induced to settle. In the middle of the seventies,for example, more than 89,166 acres of land, or more than fiftyper cent, was taken away from the Jewish colonists in the fourprovinces of Volhynia, Kieff, Podolia, and Tchernigoff. Evenas late as 1910, some of the colonists of Kherson were deprivedof considerable state land which they had occupied for three-

quarters of a century. Many Jewish farmers in the RussianEmpire are perforce obliged to seek other occupations, or othercountries for their agricultural activities. Not a few of thecolonists have increased their cultivable area by rental, butinasmuch as it is done without sanction of law, they are, ofcourse, entirely at the mercy of their non-Jewish lessors.

Had it not been for the activity of the Jewish ColonizationAssociation, which, in cooperation with the Central Emigra-tion Committee of St. Petersburg, organized by Baron HoraceGiinzburg, has exerted every effort to ameliorate the conditionof the Jewish farmers in Russia, their condition would havebeen intolerable. By reason of the inadequacy of the land atthe disposal of the colonists, that organization put forth everyeffort to transform the agriculture of the Jewish farmers tosuit the conditions. The ICA encourages a more intensiveform of cultivation, to develop the holdings to the best ad-vantage. In the northwestern provinces it has aided the farm-ers to go into fruit and truck farming; in the southern prov-inces into viticulture and stock breeding; and in Bessarabia andPodolia into the culture of tobacco, although the sale of tobaccoby the colonists is hedged about with many restrictions. InKherson, for example, with the help of the ICA, sixty-two newvineyards were set out in 1910, and in Bessarabia the numberof grapevines planted the same year was 240,725. In some ofthe colonies of Ekaterinoslaff, the ICA also erected irrigationsystems. The ICA likewise established nursery gardens tosupply the necessary nursery stock for the colonies, and has inits employ a number of expert agriculturists, who constantlytravel about to teach the farmers the most modern methods andto assist them in improving their condition.

The colonists are further granted loans for the purchaseof live stock and modern tools and farming implements. Theseloans are advanced, as a rule, through the Cooperative CreditAssociations, of which there are eighteen in operation, whichact as fiscal agents of the ICA in their respective locali-ties, and do various forms of cooperative work among theirmembers. The ICA also maintains five agricultural schools.Children of Jewish farmers are especially given every facilityto attend these schools. In the year 1910, the school at Minskhad eighteen pupils, that of Novopoltavka fifty pupils, Czen-stonieff nineteen, and Czenstochowa fifteen. The last-namedgives special attention to fruit growing, horticulture, andfloriculture. Another school, at Orscha, consists merely of anexperimental farm worked by the inmates of one of the orphanasylums.

With all this, the economic situation of the Jewish farmerin Eussia could not be more deplorable, and unless a radicalchange in the attitude of the Government takes place, Jewishagriculture in the Russian empire is doomed.

WESTERN BUBOPE

Jewish agriculture in the countries of Western Europe haslittle significance. There are no reports of Jews engaged inagriculture in France, Holland, or England. In Germanythere were, in 1907, according to the official census, 3746 Jewsengaged in agricultural occupations, farming, forestry, hunt-ing, and fishing. The number of Jewish landowners in Ger-many is small, and they are mainly owners of large estates.Jewish farmers in Germany are to be found only occasionallyin the West Prussian provinces and in South Germany. In

Austria, in the provinces of Galicia and Bukovina, many Jewslive in rural districts, and some own a cow or two and a gardenpatch; but an actual Jewish farmer depending upon the farmfor a livelihood is extremely rare. Considerable land is ownedand farmed by Jews in these provinces, but they are chiefly largeestates. The small Jewish landowner does not work his farm,but as a rule rents it out on shares. The same is true ofHungary and Eoumania.

In addition to the five agricultural schools in Eussia, theICA, in 1899, founded a school at Slobodka-Lesna, near Ko-lomea, in Galicia. It is located on about 2200 acres of land,and its courses are thoroughly practical in character. Besidesagriculture, blacksmithing is one of the most importantcourses. The school also established a large distillery for themanufacture of spirituous liquors. The school had fifty-fivepupils in 1910.

Another Jewish agricultural school in Europe is the Israelit-ische Erziehungsanstalt at Ahlem, in the vicinity of Hanover,Germany, founded in 1893 by Moritz A. Simon, a banker ofHanover, with an endowment of $750,000. The aim of theschool is to teach " agriculture and handicraft—two occupa-tions from which Jews, through circumstances, have been ex-cluded for centuries." The ICA contributes to its support bymaintaining a number of pupils from Eussia at the school,which up to 1905 had graduated 170 pupils.

THE JEWISH COLONIZATION ASSOCIATION

The revival of persecutions and expulsions in Eussia in 1890,and the urgent appeals to him from prominent members ofEuropean Jewry to aid in lifting the burden put upon them by

the large emigration from the affected provinces across theBussian frontier, caused Baron Maurice de Hirsch to takeprompt measures to carry out his long-considered plan ofrelieving the Jewish situation in Eussia by transplanting alarge part of its population to countries where it could liveuntrammeled by religious bigotry and political oppression.Having concluded that a new country like the Argentine Ee-public might furnish a favorable field for his ambitious phil-anthropy, he had sent, in 1890, a commission consisting ofWilliam Loewenthal, a German physician, C. E. Cullen, anEnglish engineer, and Vanvinckeroy, a Belgian colonel, to studythe agricultural opportunities afforded by that country. Theirfavorable report and the hearty approval and promise of moralsupport of the Argentine Government led him to enter uponthe statesmanlike undertaking that has established his fame forall time. To prepare the way for an orderly emigration, aCentral Emigration Committee of prominent Jews, under thepresidency of Baron Horace Giinzburg, of St. Petersburg, wassoon formed, and the sanction of the Eussian Government forthe project was obtained.

Stress of circumstances had compelled Baron de Hirsch toembark upon Argentinian colonization before his plans werefully matured. He soon saw that the many difficulties to beovercome in order permanently to carry out a scheme of suchmagnitude were beyond the capabilities of any individual, andthat the responsibility must be shared with other Jews of prom-inence and public spirit. Accordingly, in September, 1891,the Jewish Colonization Association (ICA) was organized as anEnglish corporation, with a capital of 2,000,000 pounds ster-ling, Baron de Hirsch furnishing the entire capital.

Later on he donated to this organization a much largeramount as a trust fund, of which the income alone was to beused, and upon his death he made that corporation his principallegatee. The shares of this corporation he distributed to theJewish communities of Berlin, Frankfort, Brussels, Paris, andLondon, who were to name the directors of the organization.However, responsibility for the work of the IC'A rested upon theshoulders of its founder until his death in 1896. The firstmeeting of the Trustees, or Council, of the ICA convened thatyear, and comprehensive plans were prepared, aiming at therelief of the persecuted Jews in Russia and other countries, soas to ameliorate their condition, economic, social, as well aspolitical.

Besides continuing and developing the work in Argentine,which Baron de Hirsch began in 1891, the ICA, in 1896, as wehave seen, came to the assistance of the Jewish colonies inPalestine. It also entered upon a multiplicity of activitiesof relief and education in the towns of that country. Thesame year the ICA, with the cooperation of the St. PetersburgCommittee, gave attention to the unfortunate Jewish farmersof Russia. It also initiated other work of a constructive andeducational character in the congested cities of the Pale andother Jewish centres. Almost simultaneously it extended itsactivities to Canada and to the United States, in which countryJewish immigration from Russia had assumed large propor-tions, and where Baron de Hirsch had already created anagency for his philanthropic activities by the establishment ofthe Baron de Hirsch Fund. The liberality of the ICA alonemade possible many educational institutions in the UnitedStates working for the economic independence and Americani-zation of the Jewish immigrant. It was due also to the coopera-

tion of the two Baron de Hirsch organizations—the ICA andthe Baron de Hirsch Fund—that the Jewish Agricultural andIndustrial Aid Society, which has wielded such strong influ-ence upon the agricultural activities of the Jews in the UnitedStates, was created. In fact there is hardly a country whereJews are to be found to which the philanthropic activities ofthe Jewish Colonization Association do not extend.

ARGENTINE

The Jewish Encyclopedia (article, " Agricultural Colonies inthe Argentine Kepublic") is authority for the statement thatEussian Jews had attempted to establish colonies in Argentinein 1889 and 1890, before Baron de Hirsch commenced hisgreat undertaking. But whatever their extent, these colonieswere soon absorbed by the elaborate projects of Baron de Hirsch,which, for the reasons already given, were hastily put in opera-tion with the purchase, early in 1891, of about 62,000 acres ofland in the province of Buenos-Ayres, and the founding of thecolony of Mauricio. On July 5, 1891, several hundred immi-grants were sent by way of Hamburg, and eight hundred morewere selected from some four thousand refugees who werestranded in Constantinople. By the end of the year twenty-twohundred persons had been despatched to Argentine.

Strict orders had been given to the local committees to chooseonly experienced agriculturists, but this was not found prac-ticable. The hastily formed local committees which had theselection in charge were not in a position to learn much of thequalifications of the men they were selecting, and besides wereanxious to relieve the situation and send out the unfortunaterefugees as quickly as possible. As a consequence, many errorsof judgment were necessarily made, and Argentinian coloniza-

tion suffered numerous setbacks because of the inability ordisinclination of many of the immigrants to adjust themselvesto a new economic life. However, Baron de Hirsch was not dis-couraged. He continued adding to his holdings in Buenos-Ayres, and also acquired large tracts of land in the provincesof Santa Fe and Entre-Eios. The second colony to be foundedby Baron de Hirsch was that of Mo'iseville in the province ofSanta Fe, also in 1891.

In 1894, the colony of Clara, named after the Baroness deHirsch, was founded in the province of Entre-Rios. Profitingby former experience, a change was made in the mode of select-ing the colonists, the selection being made in Russia from thosewho were actual agriculturists. Ten groups of about fortyfamilies each were sent direct from Russia to Argentine, whereeverything had been prepared for them. This brought betterresults.

The growth of Argentinian colonies, however, was slow andduring the early period numerous difficulties and obstacles wereencountered. Many of the colonists, knowing nothing of farm-ing, unprepared to bear the hardships of pioneers, and notreceiving the support from the administrators of the coloniesthey thought they were entitled to, created considerable trouble,and eventually left. Of the 1333 families established uponfarms in 1891, but 1023 remained at the end of the year. Be-tween 1892 and 1894 inclusive, 768 new families were located,but there were so many defections that at the end of 1895 only1021 colonists were left, and in 1893 the number was reducedto 833. From that time on their number increased from yearto year, so that by September 30, 1910, there were 2103 fam-ilies, aggregating 14,289 souls, besides 1205 other familiesnumbering 6826 souls, who came upon their own initiative, to

work as farm laborers. The total population, therefore, of theArgentine colonies in 1910 was 3777 families, aggregating21,115 souls.

The colonies in Argentine, as we have seen, are located inthe three provinces of Buenos-Ayres, Bntre-Rios, and Santa Fe,and cover an area of over 500,000 hectares, or about 1,250,000acres. The system of settlement is a combination of the farmhomestead system which prevails in America and the villagesystem of Continental Europe. Clara, for example, is made upof some twenty villages. The total area under cultivation in1910 was 462,873 acres. One of the most important agri-cultural industries engaged in by the colonists in Argentine iscattle raising. This was made possible through the foresightof the Jewish Colonization Association, which put a very largepart of its land into alfalfa. This not only provides excellentfodder as well as pasture for the live stock of the colonists,but it is otherwise a profitable crop, as it sells at an averageof $15 (silver) a ton. The colony of MoTseville alone sold20,000 tons of baled alfalfa in 1910, besides the seed, which

is sold as high as 60 cents a pound. The colonists also raisewheat, flax, barley, corn, oats, tobacco, and vegetables. Dairy-ing is conducted on an extensive scale. One of the early colo-nists, who is also conducting a creamery, owns seven hundredmilch cows. Creameries are conducted in all the colonies.The cattle raising industry received a severe blow in 1909 fromthe droughts prevailing that year, some of the colonies losingas much as 25 per cent of their live stock. Nevertheless, theirstock in 1910 numbered 181,070 head, of which 98,335 wascattle, 35,380 sheep, and 47,355 horses and other beasts ofburden. 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 thecolonies for 1909 amounting to $3,686,046.

With constant improvement in the methods of cultivation,and the experience gained by the colonists, their economicposition has steadily improved. A fair index to their soundposition is the fact that during 1910 they paid back to the ICA$538,429.43. Another proof of the vast improvement that hastaken place in these colonies is the fact that land values havealmost doubled.

In most of the colonies the homes of the settlers, in additionto the dwelling, have all the necessary outbuildings, and are sur-rounded by shade and fruit trees. Educational facilities in thecolonies are excellent. In 1910 there were fifty schools, with155 teachers and 3538 pupils. In these schools, agriculture isone of the most important courses. In addition to the estab-lished colonists, there is a class of immigrants who came to thecolonies upon their own initiative, with the intention of work-ing as farm laborers among their farm-owning coreligionists.During the season their earnings are as high as $5 a day,

although, in the winter many of them are obliged to go toBuenos-Ayres or other cities to earn a living. The ICA haslooked after the interests of these immigrants and in the col-onies has built houses for them, which are rented at a nominalprice. Those who show satisfactory progress and prove to becapable workers are eventually placed as independent colonistson the same terms as the older ones.

The colonists have imbibed the spirit of cooperation andself-help. Loan societies, which are also engaged in cooperativepurchasing and other forms of self-help, have accomplishedmuch for the advancement of the colonists. The purchasesmade through the Mutua Agricola, the cooperative society ofMoiiseville, amounted in 1910 to $297,090. This colony alsohas a Ladies' Aid Society and a library. The Fondo Communal,a similar society, of the colony Clara, had in 1910 a membershipof 748. Similar organizations exist in all the colonies, andthere are in addition numerous societies of a purely literary orsocial nature.

BRAZIL

In South America the Jewish Colonization Association hasextended its activities to the southern provinces of the Republicof Brazil. In 1904 it purchased a tract of about fifteen thou-sand acres in the Province of Bio Grande do Sul, and foundedthe colony of Philippson. The settlement started with fortyfamilies, Bessarabian colonists, and it numbered, in 1910, fifty-two families, aggregating a population of 295. The agricul-tural conditions are about the same as in the Argentine colonies.

In 1909, the ICA acquired about 225,000 acres at QuatroIrmaos, in the Province of Passo-Fundo. Of this land about100,000 acres is in timber, and it is the intention of the ICA

to make forestry an important part of the work of colonizationon that land.

CANADA

The first Jewish agricultural colony in Canada was foundedin 1884 by the Mansion House Committee of London withfunds contributed by popular subscription. A tract of landwas bought in the district of Moosomin, 220 miles west of Win-nipeg, the capital of Manitoba, and thirty families were settledon it. Sir Alexander Gait, Canadian High Commissioner inLondon, acted as trustee. The colony, however, had but a briefexistence.

In 1892, when another wave of emigration from Eussiaswept toward Canada, Baron de Hirsch desired to assist some ofthe immigrants to settle upon farms in the Northwest Terri-tories. The Young Men's Hebrew Benevolent Society, of Mon-treal, agreed to act as agent for Baron de Hirsch in this under-taking. Government land was located in the south of the Prov-ince of Saskatchewan (formerly Assiniboia) near the UnitedStates boundary line, and forty-nine families were settled onfree homesteads of one-quarter section (160 acres) each.Friends and relatives soon joined them, and the colony grew toseventy-three families. The settlement was named Hirsch afterits founder. All the settlers were provided with houses, livestock, farming implements, and provisions for three years, at atotal expenditure of about $50,000. When the three years hadpassed, and the colonists saw that they would thenceforth notonly have to rely upon their own resources, but that they wouldbe expected to repay what they had received, they sold out alltheir chattels, and abandoned the settlement. However, othersettlers came in, and this colony, with Oxbow, 24 miles to the

eastward, which, was founded about the same time and isvirtually a branch settlement, contains, according to a canvassmade in 1911, forty families owning 9760 acres of land. Thevalue of their real and personal property has been appraisedat $248,050.

The next colony to be founded was Wapella, 120 mileseast of Regina, on the Canadian Pacific Railroad. This settle-ment was started in 1894 by twenty Jewish families, with theirown means and without assistance from any source. But in1901 severe crop failures involved the colonists in seriousdifficulties, and an appeal for help was made to the JewishAgricultural and Industrial Aid Society of New York, whichgranted these settlers twenty-one loans aggregating about$10,000, practically all of which has been repaid. While mostof the earlier settlers have left, those that remained havebecome excellent farmers and are well-to-do. Some of theyounger men in the colony are graduates of Canadian agri-cultural schools, and are farming according to the most scien-tific 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 settlementin Canada until 1901, when the colony of Lipton was estab-lished in Saskatchewan, sixty miles northeast of Regina. In1904 another colony, Cupar, was founded. This colony ispractically an extension of the Lipton colony, and the two arejointly known as the Qu'appelle Colony. In the same year wasfounded the colony of Bender, in Manitoba, 56 miles north ofWinnipeg. This is the only settlement in Canada where thevillage system of farming prevails, similar to that in Conti-nental Europe. These settlers are largely engaged in mixedfarming. The settlement of New Herman, in the province of

Saskatchewan, was founded the following year. This colonyis considered one of the most successful of the CanadianJewish colonies. Most of the settlers are young men, graduatesof the ICA Agricultural School at Slobodka-Lesna in Galicia.

In 1906 two new settlements were established, Trochu inAlberta and Edenbridge in Saskatchewan. Trochu is thelargest of the Jewish settlements in Canada, It is composedof 89 families and 238 souls, owning an acreage of 19,520. Theappraised valuation of both real and personal property belong-ing to these settlers in 1911 was $318,925. Edenbridge de-rives its name from the fact that the settlement is located ontwo sides of a river connected by a bridge, which is almostexclusively used by the Jewish settlers, hence Edenbridge(Yiddenbridge), or Jewish bridge. Most of the first settlerscame from South Africa, where they worked in the mines.They are energetic and successful fanners, and imbued withpublic spirit. They built a synagogue and established alibrary, and the Edenbridge Jewish Cooperative Society, whichwas recently organized, has already rendered valuable serviceto its members.

In 1908 a group of seven families settled south of Morse,in the Province of Saskatchewan. In 1911 five other newsettlements came into existence, Alsask South, Alsask North,and Eosetown in Saskatchewan, and New Hirsch and Spring-field in Manitoba. Some of the settlers in Alsask North hadfarmed on Government homesteads in North Dakota, whilethe settlers of New Hirsch were members of the Israeloffkacolony in Kherson, Eussia. Springfield consists of four dis-tinct settlements, namely, Springfield, Kilvanan, Birdshill, andPine Eidge. It is situated about fifteen miles northeast of

Winnipeg. The farmers in this settlement are chiefly engagedin truck gardening and dairying for the Winnipeg market.

The type of farming pursued by the Jewish farmers inCanada naturally varies with the locality. They raise wheat inSaskatchewan, and are engaged in mixed farming in Alberta.Gardening is the chief farming industry in Manitoba and dairy-ing in the eastern provinces. The problems encountered bythe Jewish farmers in the Canadian Northwest are similar tothose which the farmers in the Northwest of the United Stateshave to meet. The severe droughts of the last two years createda serious situation among the Jewish farmers in Canada, butwith the help of the ICA they were able to overcome this handi-cap. On the whole, the economic situation of the Jewishfarmers in Canada is on a sound foundation. According to thecensus of 1911, for the nine settlements under the supervisionof 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 perfarmer.

The educational and communal life in the Canadian settle-ments is fairly satisfactory. The Government provides ruralschools in any settlement having twelve children of school age,and school districts cannot exceed five miles square. Easyaccess to schools for the children of Jewish settlers is thereforethe rule. Beligious education is looked after by a Hebrewteacher, who is usually also a Shohet and general ritual prac-titioner. In the rural districts where the farmers are unableto provide their own Hebrew education, they are subsidized inpart by the ICA. Some of the colonies have built synagoguesin which provision has been made for libraries and recreationhalls for lectures and debates.

With the exception of the first two or three colonies, theJewish settlements in. Canada are not colonies in the same senseas those, for example, in Palestine, Argentine, or Eussia. Mostof the settlements were created by the settlers themselves, whoof their own initiative took up Government land, and whateverassistance they may have received from outside sources cameafter they had already established themselves. Besides thesegroups of Government homesteaders there are a number ofJewish farmers on purchased individual farms in the easternprovinces of the Dominion.

Until 1901 the affairs of the Jewish Colonization Associationin Canada were in the hands of the Young Men's HebrewBenevolent Society, of Montreal. They were then turned overto the Jewish Agricultural and Industrial Aid Society ofNew York, which was in charge of the ICA's Canadian agri-cultural work until 1907. Educational and other work con-tinued to be conducted by the Benevolent Society. To consoli-date the work under Canadian auspices a new committee wasformed in Montreal, known as the Jewish Colonization Asso-ciation Committee, which has since been in charge of all theactivities—including the agricultural—of the Jewish Coloniza-tion Association in Canada.

THE UNITED STATES

The Jewish population in the United States has been esti-mated as in excess of two millions. In this it stands secondonly to Kussia, which has a Jewish population of more than sixmillions. However important and extensive Jewish immigra-tion to other lands may be, it cannot soon compare with that tothe United States. This country presents to the Jewish immi-grant far greater opportunities in every field of human en-deavor—professional, industrial, commercial, and, last but notleast, agricultural—than any other place to which fate has asyet directed his steps. It is, therefore, meet and proper that thediscussion of the Jewish agricultural movement in the UnitedStates should be detailed at length, since its importance is quiteout of keeping with the numbers engaged in it. Its significanceis mainly due to the potentialities presented and to the spon-taneity of its remarkable growth during the last decade. Or-ganized and artificial stimulus ceased at an early period, andthe movement has become one by the people. Such organiza-tions as are engaged in fostering it are only acting in thecapacity of advisers; merely lending assistance and givingdirection to it. The movement of the Jews in the UnitedStates toward the farm has gone beyond the capacity of anyorganization or any number of organizations to control. Themost that these organizations can accomplish is to follow thelead set by the immigrants themselves and to cooperate withthem as far as the means at their command will permit.

EARLIEST AGRICULTURAL EFFORTS

In the very earliest period of American history, and even asfar back as colonial days, Jews were known to have engaged inagriculture in various parts of the country. Abraham de Lyon

brought the wine and silk culture from Portugal to Georgia.Other Jews in that State were engaged in the production ofindigo, rice, corn, tobacco, and cotton. In many parts of theSouth the cotton plantations were largely in the hands ofJews. To-day the number of Jews engaged in agriculture as apastime—gentlemen farmers—and those engaged in it com-mercially, such as the planters and ranchers in the South andWest, runs into the thousands. However, they are entirely out-side of the scope of the present discussion, and we shall, there-fore, confine ourselves exclusively to the early history, trials,failures, and successes of the Jewish farmers who have taken upfarming as their life's vocation, who perform all the manuallabor, and who depend upon the farm as their sole means ofgaining their livelihood, and look upon it as their permanenthome.

ARARAT.—The first effort at planting a Jewish agriculturalcolony in the United States was made by Major MordecaiManuel Noah. In 1820 Major Noah, a Philadelphian by birth,who as Revolutionary soldier and later as Consul General atTunis had rendered signal service to his country, interested anumber of public-spirited men in a project to found a Jewishcolony on Grand Island in the Niagara River. About 17,000acres of land were purchased, and the proposed colony wasappropriately named Ararat, " a City of Refuge for the Jews."This movement, however, was premature. Jewish immigrationat that time from Eastern Europe was insignificant, and themovement died a natural death. Its remains, in the shape ofthe corner-stone of a monument placed in 1825, now repose inthe Buffalo Historical Museum.

SHALOM.—In 1837 an attempt was made by several RussianJewish immigrants living in New York, to take up farming of

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. Itgrew until it had thirteen families. With no knowledge offarming, with very little funds of their own, and no encourage-ment from outside, these pioneers found it impossible to existon 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 inthe United States is contemporaneous with the influx of Jewishimmigration which was set in motion by the reign of lawlessnessand persecution that swept over Eastern Europe in the earlyeighties of the last century. In 1881 a pogrom took place inKieff and vicinity in Russia, and many of our coreligionistswere obliged to abandon everything and flee for their lives.With the little ready money they had, the most they could dowas to cross the Austrian frontier, and thousands of familieswere left stranded in the city of Brody, in the province ofGalicia. The Austrian Government threatened to send thestarving refugees back unless the situation was relieved imme-diately. The Alliance Israelite Universelle came to the rescue,and assisted aboiit fifteen hundred of the refugees to emigrateto the United States. They landed without money and withoutany visible means of support, and the Russo-Jewish Committeewas hastily formed to look after them. Similar committeeswere organized in Vienna, Berlin, Frankfort, and other Euro-pean cities, the best known and the most active of which was theMansion 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 thematter in charge. The Hebrew Emigrant Aid Society of theUnited States was therefore organized, with Henry S. Henry,president; D. L. Einstein and Frederick Nathan, vice-presi-dents; Joseph Eeckendorfer, treasurer, and Julius Goldman,secretary. Among the other trustees were included manyof the leading Jews of New York and other cities. The Articlesof Incorporation of this society stated the purpose of the organi-zation to be in part " to afford aid and advice to emigrants ofthe Hebrew faith coming to the United States from countrieswhere they have suffered by reason of oppressive laws or hostilepopulace, to afford aid and advice to emigrants desiring thehelp of the society in settling in the United States upon landsof the society, or otherwise."

" Many of these people," states the report of the Hebrew Emi-grant Aid Society for 1882, " desired to become agriculturistson their own land, but the funds at our disposal were altogetherinadequate to provide largely for such colonization. In atentative way and desirous of meeting the earnest entreatiesof some anxious to be placed, we have ventured on founding acolony in Cotopaxi, Colorado, composed now of about seventeenfamilies, at an expense of $10,233.57." The same year thatsociety started another colony of sixty-seven families at Vine-land, New Jersey, involving an expenditure of about $400 perfamily. This is the well-known colony of Alliance. Thesociety also had under consideration a number of plans forother settlements of the refugees on Government land or onland to be acquired from the great railway corporations. Thesociety, however, was unable to carry all its plans into effectfor the lack of funds.

A number of the immigrants came from agricultural dis-tricts, and it was only natural that " back to the soil" shouldhave become their motto as well as that of their well wishers.A period of feverish colonization activity ensued. Colonieswere started throughout the country, from the Dakotas in theNorth to Louisiana in the South, and from New Jersey in theBast to California in the West, without any well-conceivedplan or forethought. Merchants, professional men, and stu-dents of the universities, sacrificed wealth, station, and friends,to return to a more primitive and more simple life. The resultwas a foregone conclusion.

It is needless to go into the detailed histories of the number-less colonies that enjoyed a shortlived existence during thatperiod. They all went through the same experience—a prema-ture 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 theseabortive colonies in order to discover, if possible, the reasons fortheir failures.

LOUISIANA.—The first agricultural colony of Eussian Jewsin the United States settled in 1881 on Sicily Island, Louisiana.This colony comprised a total of sixty families who came directfrom Eussia under the leadership of Herman Eosenthal, amerchant of considerable means who had preceded them. TheAlliance Israelite Universelle assisted the undertaking bygranting a loan of $2800 through a New York Committee con-sisting of Myer S. Isaacs, Julius Goldman, M. Ellinger, CharlesL. Bernheim, and Henry S. Henry. A tract of land, of about5000 acres, was purchased at $8 an acre. The colony was incharge of a local committee of New Orleans Jews, of whichJulius Weiss was chairman. Houses were built, live stock and

farm implements purchased, and the work of cultivating theland began. Others came in, and the colonists numbered 173.The settlers worked with enthusiasm and with every promise ofsuccess. But in the spring of 1882 one of the Mississippifloods swept everything away, including houses, cattle, imple-ments, and crops, and the colony became a matter of history.

SOUTH DAKOTA.—Undaunted by the experience on SicilyIsland, Herman Eosenthal took some of these colonists withhim to South Dakota, where they located on Government land.The settlement, which was in Davison County, was namedCremieux, after Adolphe Cremieux, president of the AllianceIsraelite Universelle. It was started with some twenty families,all of them with means of their own. Land was broken andseeded to wheat, barley, oats, rye, and flax. The first year theland yielded good crops, and the situation looked promising.The second year the hessian fly destroyed the wheat crop. Thencame the drought, which played havoc with the live stock. Thesettlers were obliged to mortgage their farms at excessive ratesof interest. Most of them became discouraged and left. A fewpersevered. The third year the standing crops were destroyedby the hail. Continued drought and terrible hardships drovethe remaining settlers away, and in 1885 the colony went topieces.

COLORADO.—In 1882 the Hebrew Emigrant Aid Societyof New York started a colony of thirteen families, number-ing fifty persons, on Government land in Cotopaxi, FremontCounty, Colorado, thirty-five miles west of Canon City. JuliusSchwarz, the superintendent of the colony, in his report (Oc-tober 23, 1882) said among other things, " I pronounce theagricultural colony in the Eocky Mountains a full and completesuccess, and the question whether Jews are fit to become

farmers, solved and answered in the affirmative." But thecolony was located in the arid region, and the cultivation ofthe land without irrigation was not possible. Except in thespring, when the mountain torrents became a menace to lifeand property, there was little or no water to be had. Aftermany privations the settlers dispersed, and the colony met thesame fate as the others.

OREGON.—The same year the socialist colony of New Odessawas founded in Douglas County, Oregon. The settlers, whocalled themselves " Sons of the Free," came from southwesternRussia. The colony was located in the midst of a virgin forest.The settlers planned to make a living from the sale of ties andfirewood to the railroad, which was then in process of con-struction, until they could clear enough land to put under culti-vation. While the work on the railroad continued, some of thecolonists were employed on the road. They also received highprices for whatever they could raise. But when the road wasfinished, the colonists not only could find no work, but also losttheir market. By 1888 nothing was left of this colony.

NORTH DAKOTA.-—In 1882 some twenty families settled onfree Government homesteads in Burleigh County, North Da-kota, near Painted Woods, on the Missouri River. The colonygrew to seventy-one families, numbering over two hundredsouls. But here, too, continued droughts, coupled with prairiefires in the winter of 1884-1885, wiped out everything thecolonists possessed. The Jewish community of St. Paul cameto their relief, but another severe crop failure in 1886 made thesituation hopeless. The colonists were unable to hold out anylonger and eventually gave up the struggle. Some of them,however, went farther north, and founded the Iola settlement atDevil's Lake in Ramsey County, which is to-day the oldestJewish farming settlement in the Northwest.

KANSAS.—The Jewish community of Cincinnati founded acolony in Hodgeman County, Kansas, which they named Beer-sheba. About the same time the Montefiore Agricultural AidSociety of New York foimded three colonies in the same State—Moses Montefiore, Lasker, and Hebron. In 1886 three othersettlements—Gilead, Touro, and Leeser—were started by im-migrants from Russia and Eoumania. The conditions in theKansas colonies differed little from those founded in the otherStates, and they very naturally fared no better.

SOUTH JERSEY COLONIES.—These brief sketches of thecolonies whose histories can be written only in the past tense inno way exhaust the number of unsuccessful, though earnest,efforts at Jewish colonization during the period. Numerousother colonies were started in the same and other States only tomeet a like fate. The only survivors of that period of " stormand stress" are the colonies founded in the southern part ofNew Jersey—Alliance, Rosenhayn, and Carmel—better knownas the South Jersey Colonies. These colonies are located in thecounties of Salem and Cumberland within a triangle formed bythe cities of Vineland, Millville, and Bridgeton, about thirty-five miles south of Philadelphia.

A comparison between the colonies that survived and thosethat met with disaster sheds considerable light on the causesof the failures Jewish colonization has to record. The mostobvious cause is the injudicious selection of the land. It seemsto have made little difference where the colonies were located—in a virgin forest, a malarial swamp, or an arid desert. Add tothis inadequate financing and the lack of agricultural knowl-edge and of transportation and marketing facilities, and it iseasy to see that, barring miracles, success was an impossibility.The South Jersey Colonies succeeded because the soil, climate,

and other conditions, though far from perfect, were superior tothose of the other colonies. Moreover, their proximity to Phila-delphia and New York provided them not only with a marketfor their products but also tended to keep them before theJewish public, and thus obtained for them the necessary finan-cial support to tide them over the trying periods.

We shall confine ourselves here to the early history of thesecolonies, leaving their later history and present conditions tobe treated together with the general condition of the Jewishfarmers throughout the United States.

Alliance.—The first of the South Jersey Colonies wasfounded on May 10, 1882, by the Hebrew Emigrant Aid So-ciety. It was named Alliance in honor of the Alliance IsraeliteUniverselle, which contributed the sum of $3000 toward thefounding of the colony. The first group of colonists comprisedsixty-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 optionwas secured on a tract of about eleven hundred acres of land,which was surveyed and divided into plots of ten acres. Theland was completely covered by a dense growth of scrub oak andpine. The work of clearing the land and cultivating the soilbegan at once under the guidance of an experienced nativefarmer. They also proceeded with the erection of houses, andthe colonists were meanwhile lodged in three large buildings,which they humorously named Castle Garden, erected to pro-vide temporary shelter. The total cost of this, the VinelandColony, as it was then called, was $41,960.42, of which $12,-129.92 was for land and equipment, $9,897.77 for houses, andthe balance for maintenance and relief.

Meanwhile, in 1883, there was a lull in the arrival of ref-ugees, and the Hebrew Emigrant Aid Society dissolved. Itwas succeeded by the Alliance Land Trust, which was formedfor the purpose of taking over and conserving the propertyand the funds of the dissolved corporation, and to look after theinterests of the Alliance Colony. Among the trustees wereHenry S. Henry, Isaac Eppinger, Leopold Gershell, M. Mendel,Leonard Lewisohn, and the Eev. T. de Sola Mendes. TheAlliance Land Trust is still in existence, and retains its inter-ests in the Alliance Colony, although it has done no active workfor a number of years.

After the houses were completed, two of the barracks weretorn down. The remaining one was converted into a cigarfactory in order to provide the new settlers with an opportunityof earning a living until they could see some rettirns from theirland. This infant industry, established in what was practicallya wilderness, did not enjoy a long existence. It was replacedby a shirt f actory, which lasted less than a year. The hardshipssuffered by these colonists would be difficult to depict. Some ofthem had to travel with their wives and children several mileson foot to find work with non-Jewish farmers. After toilingall day they returned home as late as midnight, only to startout again in the small hours of the morning. This was thecritical period in the history of the Alliance Colony, and it wasmainly through the energetic efforts of public-spirited Jewsfrom New York and Philadelphia, notably Alfred T. Jonesand Simon Muhr of the latter city, that the colony was rescuedfrom the fate that befell its contemporaries. The timely aideventually bore fruit, and many of the colonists were enabledto make considerable progress on their farms. This broughtthe colony to the favorable attention of the Mansion House

Committee of London, which placed the sum of $10,000 in thehands of the Alliance Land Trust, making it possible to securefor the colonists deeds to their farms, -which theretofore theyhad only held under contract.

RosenTiayn.—The history of the Rosenhayn Colony likewisebegan in 1882, when six families were settled by the HebrewEmigrant Aid Society. They set to work clearing the land anderecting houses. But in addition to suffering the many hard-ships attendant upon pioneering, the colonists soon foundthemselves without funds. Their appeals for aid did not meetwith success, and they were compelled to abandon their projectand leave the place. In 1887, however, when the success of theAlliance Colony became known, several other families repairedto Rosenhayn and contracted for some land. They continuedto live and work in the city until they could earn enough to payfor their land and start farming operations. The followingyear thirty-seven other families bought land under similar con-ditions. A large building, called " The Hotel," near the rail-road station was rented and converted into a shirt factory,where many of the colonists found employment. As the colon-ists were obliged to work away from their farms, progress wasnecessarily slow. But the colonists worked assiduously, andgave as much attention to their farms as they could.

The condition of the colony in 1889, as it appears from thestatistics for that year, shows some progress even at that earlydate:

Number of families 67Population (souls) 294Land (acres) 1912Under cultivation (acres) 261Houses 23Barns 12Horses 12Cows 14

Carmel.—In 1882, Michael Heilprin, aided by sympatheticfriends in New York, among them Jacob H. Schiff, Jesse Selig-man, and Julius Hallgarten, settled seventeen families atCarmel on lands previously occupied by a number of Germanfamilies, who had abandoned their holdings and returned toPhiladelphia. Some of the new settlers succumbed to the ordealof the first two years' privations. But these were soon replacedby more vigorous settlers from among later comers among theEussian refugees. When these had become fairly established,new arrivals began to swell the number of settlers.

The sudden death of Michael Heilprin deprived the colonistsof their best friend. Such organized support as remained wasdevoted to fostering the growth of Alliance. To avoid the im-minent danger of the settlement's failing for want of a tem-porary 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 wasallotted to the settlers in various amounts, in accordancewith recommendations made by Moses Klein, the agent of theJewish Emigration Society, of Philadelphia, who had beendetailed to make a thorough investigation of the needs of eachindividual colonist. The timely aid thus obtained preventedthe disintegration of the Carmel Colony.

The statistics of Carmel for the year 1889, as contained in areport made by Moses Klein, on February 17 of that year, wereas follows:

Population (souls) 286Land (acres) 848Under cultivation (acres) 247Houses 30Barns 25Horses 11Cows 11

The same year fifteen hundred acres of land were added tothe original tract of 848, and thirty-six new houses were erected,making the total acreage owned by the colonists 2348 and thenumber of houses 66. A sidelight on the economic progress ofthe colonists in 1889 is their contribution of $47 for thesufferers of the Johnstown Flood.

THE BARON DE HIRSCH FUND

The failures attending the many well-meant but not too well-directed efforts at colonization had a most depressing effect,and general interest in the agricultural movement began todecline. The ease with which our country was able to absorbthe thousands of immigrants and the capacity of these immi-grants to adapt themselves to new conditions likewise served tochill the enthusiasm of those who looked upon the land as theonly solution of the immigration problem.

In 1889 a renewal of persecution of the Jews in Eussia causedimmigration from that country to the United States to assumelarger proportions. Through the good offices of Oscar S.Straus, Baron de Hirsch, foreseeing the important role theUnited States was destined to play in the regeneration of hispeople, 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 conditionof Jewish immigrants driven from their homes through polit-ical and religious oppression. On February 12,1891, the Baronde Hirsch Fund was incorporated under the laws of the State ofNew 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. Hacken-burg, of Philadelphia, as the other trustees. The aims of thisnew organization were broad and comprehensive. They coveredalmost every field of human activity tending to make the Jewishimmigrants in this country self-supporting and self-respectingAmerican citizens.

After the pressure for immediate relief had been lifted, theBaron de Hirsch Fund was in a position to develop its plans forwork of a constructive character. With the creation of theFund, the agricultural movement gained a new lease of life.It took hold of the remnants of the work of its predecessors andkept them from disintegration. The encouragement of agri-culture was one of its most important activities. Under itsguidance, Jewish agriculture has made considerable progress.The Woodbine Colony was founded in 1891. Individual Jew-ish farmers were also assisted to locate upon abandoned farmsin Connecticut and other States.

THE JEWISH AGRICULTURAL AND INDUSTRIAL AID SOCIETY

The object of the Baron de Hirsch Fund, we have seen, wasthe improvement of the condition of the Jewish immigrant byhelping him to adjust himself to his new environment. Theattainment of this end necessitated a multiplicity of activities.While the encouragement of agriculture was one of them, the

Page 78: OF ABOUT FOUR THOUSAND YEARS PROF. HE1NRICH GRAETZ'S ... · special aeticles in previous issues of the american jewish year book the alliance israelite univebselle, 5661, pp. 45-65

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 higherstate of efficiency, it was deemed advisable to entrust this veryimportant task to a distinct organization. Accordingly, on Feb-ruary 19, 1900, the Jewish Agricultural and Industrial AidSociety was incorporated, with Julius Goldman, president;Morris Loeb, vice-president; Sigmund Neustadt, treasurer;and Eugene S. Benjamin, secretary. All agricultural mattersin charge of the Baron de Hirsch Fund were immediatelyturned over to the newly-organized Society. The funds of theSociety are contributed in part by the Jewish Colonization As-sociation and in part by the Baron de Hirsch Fund. In thecontribution of the latter is included a legacy of the Baroness deHirsch.

The objects of the new Society, as expressed in its Articlesof 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 inthe crowded sections of cities to agricultural and industrial dis-tricts, and provision for their temporary support.

2. The grant of loans to mechanics, artisans, and tradesmen, toenable them to secure larger earnings and accumulate savings forthe acquisition of homes in suburban, agricultural, and industrialdistricts.

3. The removal of industries now pursued in tenements or shopsin crowded sections of the cities, by aiding manufacturers and con-tractors to transfer their shops and business to agricultural andindustrial districts where their employees may continue to laborand acquire individual homes.

4. The encouragement of cooperative creameries and factoriesand of storage houses for canning and preserving fruit and vege-tables and making wine.

It can, therefore, be seen that the purpose of the JewishAgricultural and Industrial Aid Society at its inception was notsolely agricultural. In the course of time, however, industrial

70 AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK

and other matters, which had at the beginning received con-siderable attention, assumed secondary importance. The In-dustrial Eemoval Office, which was organized in 1901 as abranch of the Society, and to which was entrusted the workof the removal of immigrants from the congested cities of theeastern sea-board to interior towns, was in 1903 placed underseparate management under the direction of a special com-mittee, and in 1907 it became an entirely separate and distinctorganization. Since then the work of the Jewish Agriculturaland Industrial Aid Society has been essentially agricultural,and the Society has become the strongest influence in thedevelopment of Jewish agriculture in the United States.

LOANS.—The fundamental activity of the Jewish Agri-cultural and Industrial Aid Society is the rendering of financialassistance to those desiring to become farmers and to enablethose who are already on the farm to maintain their foothold.This financial assistance consists of the granting of loans forthe purchase of the farm, for equipment, or other urgent needs.The rate of interest charged is 4 per cent, and the principal isrepayable in easy installments. In its essentials the creditsystem of the Jewish Agricultural and Industrial Aid Societydiffers little, if at all, from that of the Credit Foncier of Franceand other agrarian banks—purely business institutions—whichhave met with so much success in Continental Europe. Buthere the difference becomes marked. The Society's funds beinglimited, it does not as a rule make a loan where the funds areelsewhere obtainable. It rarely, therefore, makes loans on firstmortgage. Most of its loans are on second mortgage, and not afew on third and occasionally even on fourth mortgages, supple-mented sometimes by chattel mortgage or other collateral. TheSociety loans up to 75 per cent of the value of the farm, although

Page 80: OF ABOUT FOUR THOUSAND YEARS PROF. HE1NRICH GRAETZ'S ... · special aeticles in previous issues of the american jewish year book the alliance israelite univebselle, 5661, pp. 45-65

AGRICULTURAL ACTIVITIES OF JEWS IN AMERICA 71

in special oases it has loaned even beyond the farm value. Ac-cording to its report for the year 1911 it had granted during thetwelve years of its existence 2178 loans, amounting to $1,256,-114.05. These loans were made to 1950 families, occupying1675 farms, in 27 States and Canada. The loans average $500.Considering that the security taken by the Society is mainlysubstandard, it speaks well for the Jewish farmer as a debtorwhen it is shown that the repayments during the same periodamounted to 26 per cent of the total loaned, and the losses toless than 3 per cent. The total loans of this Society outstandingin 1911 amounted to $686,657.13.

The assistance rendered by the Jewish Agricultural and In-dustrial Aid Society to the Jewish farmer is not confined to thegranting of loans. Its most difficult task is to locate the newfarmer on a farm that is suitable to his means, and answers hisother requirements. It also buys desirable farms in selectedlocalities, which it sells at cost and on easy terms. The newfarmer is frequently assisted in selecting his horses, cows, im-plements, and other equipment. A plan of work is then out-lined for him, and he is shown how to utilize each plot of landto the best advantage. Again, in order to bring within the reachof the Jewish farmer a knowledge of at least the rudimentsof his vocation, the Society entered upon a comprehensiveeducational campaign, which has aided considerably in placingthe Jewish farmer in the United States upon a solid founda-tion. In fact, the non-financial assistance rendered to theJewish farmer, whether he has had any business dealingswith the Society or not, is in some respects of greater impor-tance than the financial.

" THE JEWISH FARMER."—The first of the educationalactivities of the Society was the publication of the Jewish

72 AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK

Farmer, which has the distinction of being the only agricul-tural paper in Yiddish in the world. It is an illustrated maga-zine, and is published monthly. It made its first appearancein May, 1908. The aim of this paper is, to quote from thereport of the Society for 1908, " to provide for the non-Englishreading Jewish farmer expert advice on agricultural subjectsnot otherwise available; to supply him with a publication towhich he can turn for sympathy and encouragement; to furnishhim with a medium for the expression of his feelings and as-pirations ; and to bring him inspiration through keeping himin touch with his fellow tillers of the soil." The circulationof the paper is about 5000 and covers every State of theUnion and fifteen foreign countries.

ITINERANT INSTRUCTION.—A system of itinerant instructionwas inaugurated the same year. At the head of the system is theeditor of the Jewish Farmer. The most important Jewishfarming communities are visited periodically, and lectures ontimely topics are delivered by the staff of the Jewish Farmerand others. Personal visits are also made to the farmers andinstruction is thus supplemented by what might properly becalled individual laboratory or field work conducted undercompetent supervision by the farmer on his own farm. Thiscorresponds in a measure to the system of Wanderlehrer inGermany and other countries of Continental Europe. It alsocorresponds to the Farmers' Institutes conducted by the Ameri-can Agricultural Colleges, and the " Good Farming Trains "inaugurated by some of the railroads.

FREE SCHOLARSHIPS.—To make the child of the Jewishfarmer an important factor in the economy of the parental farmand to implant in him a love for the soil, the Jewish Agri-cultural 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 Jewishfarmers are enabled to attend the special short courses offeredby the agricultural colleges of their respective States. Thesecourses are given during the winter months when the absenceof the children from the farm does not materially interferewith farming operations. The duration of the courses is fromsix to twelve weeks, and the stipend carried by the scholarshipcovers all the necessary expenses of the scholar. The scholar-ships are awarded by competition. In 1911 the number ofscholarships awarded was twenty-two, of which fourteen werewon by boys and eight by girls. Not a year passes that thescholars do not carry off some of the most coveted prizes offeredby the colleges which they attend. In the New Jersey College,for example, out of five prizes awarded in 1911 for poultryjudging, three were carried off by holders of the Society's freescholarships. The influence of these scholars on their homefarms and on the communities in which they live is con-siderable.

FARM LABOR BUREAU.—The Jewish Agricultural and In-dustrial Aid Society also organized a Farm Labor Bureau in1908. In 1911 this bureau secured positions as farm handsfor 612 Jewish young men in seventeen States of the Union.The total number placed since the inception of this activityis over two thousand. The purpose of the Farm Labor Bureauis primarily educational. Its object is to give the Jewish youngman an opportunity of learning something at least of practicalfarming and incidentally to find out for himself whether heis fit for it by inclination or otherwise. The advantages of sucha preliminary trial to those contemplating becoming farmersare obvious and this is the object of not a few of those who seeksuch employment. Some of them have some capital which

they are ready to invest in farms of their own as soon as theygain the desired experience.

The Jewish farm laborer is very much in demand. What-ever deficiencies may be his on account of his inexperience, heapparently more than makes them up by his intelligence, steadi-ness, and sobriety. He saves his money with1 a view to getting alittle farm of his own in time. He does not drink, is not quar-relsome, and attends strictly to business. To the Americanfarmer, who has had some very unfortunate experiences withthe average quality of farm labor, the Jewish farm laborer issomewhat of a pleasant anomaly.

THE JEWISH AGRICULTURISTS' AID SOCIETY OF AMERICA

Another Society established to encourage agriculture amongJews in the United States is the Jewish Agriculturists' AidSociety of America, with headquarters in Chicago. Althoughthis Society was not incorporated until 1900, its organizationdates back to October 28, 1888, when, through the efforts ofEabbi A. R. Levy, a committee was formed with the object ofhelping poor Jews to locate upon farms. The committee con-sisted of Adolph Loeb, president; Rabbi Emil G-. Hirsch, vice-president; Herman Felsenthal, treasurer; and Rabbi A. R.Levy, secretary. The committee had no permanent funds at itsdisposal. It depended entirely upon its friends to furnish themoney in each specific case when needed. In this manner someseventy families were assisted in settling upon farms in theMiddle Western States and in North Dakota, and the amountthus loaned aggregated over $35,000.

The work of looking to individuals to make the loan in eachinstance was a rather slow and difficult process. The numberof 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 1900the Jewish Agriculturists' Aid Society of America was in-corporated. To create the loan fund " Certificates of Credit,"something like debenture bonds, were offered for subscription tothe friends of the cause. These certificates are issued indenominations of $10 and upwards, and are redeemable afterten years. They bear interest at the rate of 3 per cent. The" Loan Fund " can be used only for the granting of loans toJewish farmers. The expenses of carrying on the work of theSociety is defrayed from its General Fund, consisting ofvoluntary contributions, or donations, and membership dues.The annual membership payment is $10.

The membership of the Society in 1901 numbered 67, andthe outstanding Certificates amounted to $4700. During thesame year twenty-three loans were made, amounting to $9500.Of these thirteen, amounting to $3770, were made by indi-viduals; seven, amounting to $2930, by the Society from itsloan fund; and three, amounting to $2800, by the JewishAgricultural and Industrial Aid Society of New York. Fromthe very outset this Society received the hearty cooperation ofthe New York Society, which took over, between the years 1900and 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 dis-posal for the granting of loans as the agent of that Society.

According to the last published report (1908) of the JewishAgriculturists' Aid Society of America, it had a membershipthat year of 413, and the Credit Certificates in circulationamounted to $47,215. Since 1888 it has assisted financially orotherwise over four hundred Jewish families to settle on farms,most of them on free Government homesteads in North Dakota.

Recently, however, the Society has been laboring under the dis-advantages of the lack of funds, and has, as a result, not beenvery active.

GROWTH OF JEWISH FARMING IN THE UNITED STATES

Most of the early efforts at Jewish colonization having provedabortive, Jewish farming in the United States was, as a conse-quence, practically at a standstill for a time. With the excep-tion of Woodbine, the Baron de Hirsch Fund made no attemptat founding now colonies. It confined its agricultural activityto the preservation of the South Jersey Colonies and to assist-ing a handful of individual farmers who located in the easternpart of Connecticut. With the creation of a Society devotingitself almost exclusively to agricultural work a new era wasushered in. The field of agricultural activity became nationalin scope, and to-day there is not a State in Avhich Jews cannotbe found as tillers of the soil.

To state with any degree of accuracy how many Jewish farm-ers there are in the United States is not possible. The vastextent of the country and the settling of many enterprisingJewish pioneers in the remotest sections makes the compilationof an adequate census physically impossible. However, theJewish Agricultural and Industrial Aid Society has, accordingto its latest statistics, come in touch with 3718 Jewish farmingfamilies, comprising an estimated population of 18,590 souls.These figures, though accurate as far as they go, are far fromcomplete and, I believe, represent not much more than half ofthe Jewish farming population in the United States. The fol-lowing table will no doubt prove interesting:

family, which is a fraction below the average of the familiesassisted by the Jewish Agricultural and Industrial Aid Society.The estimate of acreage and value are based on the averagesgiven in the United States Census of 1910. In some States theacreage owned by Jewish farmers and the value of their farmswill doubtless fall below the averages given in the Census. Onthe other hand, in some States they will exceed the average.On the whole, authentic data in possession of the Jewish Agri-cultural and Industrial Aid Society indicate that the figuresgiven in the footings are about correct. Of course, only Jewishfarmers doing their own work, to whom the farm is both a homeand a means of livelihood, are included in the figures.

The number of Jewish farming families given here com-prises only those with whom the Jewish Agricultural and In-dustrial Aid Society has come in touch in one way or another,and, according to the opinion of the United States ImmigrationCommission, represents only about 75 per cent of the Jewishfarmers in the country. A fair estimate of the extent ofJewish farming in the United States would therefore be about5000 families, comprising a population of about 25,000 souls.To carry this estimate further, the number of farms occupiedby these farmers would be about 4600, with an acreage of about600,000 and a value in real and personal property of about$33,000,000. That Jewish agriculture in the United Statesdoes not depend entirely on philanthropy is indicated by thefact that the total outstanding loans of the two philanthropicorganizations engaged in this work is about $730,000, or 2.2per cent of the total valuation of the property owned by Jewishfarmers. It should likewise not be overlooked that the actualgrowth of Jewish farming has taken place only during the latterpart of the last decade.

AGRICULTURAL ACTIVITIES OF JEWS IN AMERICA 79

AGRICULTURAL SETTLEMENTS

With the exception of the South Jersey Colonies and Wood-bine, 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, con-certed effort ceased, and the Jewish agricultural movementassumed an individualistic character. After the disruption ofsome of the early colonies the settlers scattered all over thecountry, and some of these pioneers located on isolated farmsin various States. Here and there also, a Jewish immigrant ortwo, tired of the city, on their own initiative purchased a farmor 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, wiselyor unwisely, mark the foundation of most of the Jewish farm-ing settlements in the United States.

Beginning as they did, the growth of the settlements wasnecessarily slow. It was not always possible for the newcomersto find farms contiguous to those of their friends who pre-ceded them, and consequently the Jewish farmers, even in thesame vicinity, were more or less scattered. Gradually, how-ever, through the process of elimination gaps were closed up,and many of the groups reached a sufficient degree of compact-ness to be properly classed as settlements.

While Jewish farmers are to be found in every part of theUnited States, the most important settlements are those in NewYork, New Jersey, Connecticut, and Massachusetts in the East;Ohio and Michigan in the Middle West; and North Dakota inthe Northwest. Jewish farming settlements are also to be foundin many other States and scattered individual farmers in everyState of the Union.

NEW YORK.—The bulk of the Jewish farmers in New Yorkis to be found in the counties of Sullivan, Ulster, and Eensse-laer. The earliest attempt to settle in this State, as we haveseen, was made in 1837, when two or three Jewish familiesfrom New York City bought farms in Wawarsing, UlsterCounty. But only within the last few years has the Jewishimmigrant again turned his eyes to the foothills of the Cat-skills.

The counties of Sullivan and Ulster, because of their salu-brious climate, have always had a special attraction for theJew. The farms are chiefly of large acreage, and the land, as arule, is somewhat stony and hilly. It affords very good pastur-age, and is capitally adapted to dairying. When the Jewishfarmer began his invasion of this section, the markets were poorand the keeping of boarders was an economic necessity. Thisworked both ways. The farmer had to keep boarders to providea market for his products, and to raise more products to feedhis boarders. However, the coming of large hotels and board-ing houses, and the increase in the urban population in thesecounties, have provided a good market for all kinds of farmproducts, and the need of keeping boarders is becoming lessurgent. There are, consequently, many farmers who keep noboarders, and there is a decided movement on the part of thosewho do, to devote more attention to their farms. It might besaid in passing that the keeping of boarders is in no wise anexclusively Jewish institution. There is more farming and lessboarding-house keeping done on some Jewish farms than onthose 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

hotels and boarding-houses exceeds the supply. As will beseen later, the Jewish farmers in these counties are groupedchiefly around Livingston Manor, Parksville, Ferndale, Hurley-ville, Monticello, Centerville, Mountaindale, Ellenville, Green-field, and Kerhonkson. The village population is another ele-ment that is rapidly increasing in these two counties. Some ofthe bustling villages, such as Centerville and Parksville, havea population almost exclusively Jewish. Each settlement hasits Jewish physician, lawyer, dentist, and druggist. In some ofthem the municipal government and school affairs are almostentirely in Jewish hands.

The Jewish farming settlement in Eensselaer County isgrouped around the village of Nassau, about twelve miles eastof Albany. This settlement has the advantage of being con-nected by trolley with the large cities of Albany and Troy,besides being within comparatively easy reach of New YorkCity by boat. The first Jewish farmer settled in this section in1894, but the actual movement of Jewish farmers thither begansome ten years ago. The land is well adapted to the raising ofcereals, fruit, berries, and vegetables. The market and trans-portation facilities are excellent. The Jewish farmers arelargely engaged in the raising of grain and in dairying, in whichthey have met with a fair measure of success. Most of thefarmers in Eensselaer County started with little or no assistancefrom any source, and some of them are now well-to-do. Thesettlement has a live local farmers' association, and was one ofthe first to organize a cooperative credit union.

Another and more recent settlement in this State is that inOnondaga County, about twelve miles from Syracuse. Thissettlement had its inception in 1907 through the purchase of afarm by one of the Jewish immigrants living in Syracuse. As

usual, relatives and friends followed, and the settlement nowcomprises some twenty families. The section is in the alfalfabelt, and is one of the best farming sections in the State. Thefarms are rather large and expensive. The principal branchof farming pursued is dairying, some of the Jewish farmershaving as many as forty or fifty cows.

There is also a large number of scattered Jewish farmersin various parts of the State. Besides, there are on Long Islandtwo settlements of dairymen, at New Lots, in the outskirts ofBrooklyn, and at Queens, near Long Island City. These dairy-men have little land. But they have large dairy herds, and do aprofitable business selling their milk in Greater New York.

NEW JERSEY.—Jewish farming in New Jersey began withthe founding of the South Jersey Colonies in 1882. Sporadicattempts in this direction were also made in other parts of theState, but they were of no particular importance or significance.

South Jersey Colonies.—In 1891, when the Baron de HirschFund was organized, it assumed the care of the South JerseyColonies. Besides loaning money to the farmers, it establishedindustries to provide employment for the non-agricultural ele-ment as well as for the farmers and their children in offseasons. The Baron de Hirsch Fund, with the financial co-operation of the Jewish Colonization Association, continuedto look after the Colonies until 1900, when all agriculturalmatters were transferred to the newly organized Jewish Agri-cultural and Industrial Aid Society. This Society continuedthe policy of its predecessor by extending financial aid to thefarmers, building factories, and subsidizing industries. It alsoendeavored to raise the agricultural standards of the Colonies,to improve their educational facilities and to provide for theircommunal and social needs. Under its management, the

AGRICULTURAL ACTIVITIES OF JEWS IN AMERICA 83

paternal supervision of the Colonies has heen gradually cur-tailed; industrial subventions have been systematically re-duced, and the colonists have been encouraged, as far aspossible, to be less dependent upon philanthropic aid both intheir communal and their private life. These efforts haveborne fruit, and the economic independence of the olderColonies is practically established.

The soil around Vineland is a light sandy loam, and is welladapted for the raising of vegetables, berries, and grapes. Theearly season's crop is strawberries. Some of the Jewish farmershave as many as five or six acres in this crop, and realize asmuch as $300 per acre. Tomatoes are raised extensively, andare sold by the ton to the local canneries. The farmers find inthe Vineland Grape Juice Company a good customer for theirgrapes, although many fanners make their own wine, whichthey sell in New York and other cities for the Passover andother holidays. The staple crop in the Colonies is sweet pota-toes, which are shipped in carload lots to nearly every part ofthe United States, and which, when properly packed, commandhigher prices than the same product from other parts of thecountry.

The Alliance Colony consists of three settlements—Allianceproper, which is purely agricultural, and the villages of Normaand Brotmanville, which are largely industrial. Rosenhayn andCarmel are also more or less industrial, but axe surrounded bya number of flourishing farms. The Alliance farmers are per-haps the most prosperous of any in the Colonies. Theyemerged from their experimental stage ahead of those in thesister Colonies, due probably to their earlier start and to thefact that greater effort was expended on Alliance in its earlycareer. The progress of this colony is also doubtless due in a

measure to the object lesson furnished by the Allivine Farm,owned by Maurice Fels, of Philadelphia. This farm is con-ducted on business lines according to the most approved scien-tific methods.

Another institution which serves to promote the progress ofAlliance is the cannery conducted by the Allivine CanningCompany. It was built in 1901 by Maurice Fels in cooperationwith the Jewish Agricultural and Industrial Aid Society. Thiscannery affords a ready market for various products, and hasbeen an important factor in increasing the quantity andimproving the quality of the products raised. Another can-nery was built this year (1912) by the Jewish Agricultural andIndustrial Aid Society, on the turnpike and trolley line runningbetween Bridgeton and Millville, in the immediate vicinity ofCarmel. It provides the Jewish farmers of Carmel and Rosen-hayn with a nearer market for their products. This canneryhas been leased to an experienced canner, who conducts it as aprivate enterprise.

Two other settlements which are virtually a part of theseColonies are Garton Road and Six Points. Garton Road is twoand a half miles west of Rosenhayn. It was started by aRussian immigrant in 1888, who purchased twenty acres ofbush land near Woodruff on the Central Railroad of NewJersey. He was joined by some of his friends from the Col-onies as well as from the neighboring city of Bridgeton. Thissettlement gradually grew, and now numbers about twenty-fourJewish farmers. It is entirely agricultural. The soil is some-what better than in the Colonies, and the farmers have beensuccessful almost from the start. Six Points was started in1907 by the Jewish Agricultural and Industrial Aid Society.It bought several large farms about two miles from Brotman-

ville, and subdivided them into farms of twenty-five acres. Thesettlement numbers fifteen families.

The educational and social advantages in the South JerseyColonies, because of their comparative compactness and becauseof the interest taken in them by the Baron de Hirsch Fund andthe Jewish Agricultural and Industrial Aid Society, are prob-ably superior to those of any of the Jewish farming settlementsin the United States. The latter Society established an educa-tional bureau in 1901, which is under the supervision of acompetent director. Columbia Hall in Carmel and FranklinHall in Eosenhayn, which were built by the Society in 1902,are the centres of the social and educational life in these settle-ments. The halls are supplied with libraries, which are con-ducted 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 NormaAthletic Association, with the cooperation of the Society, is nowbuilding a club house at a cost of about $6000. In additionto the primary schools, a well-equipped intermediate school wasbuilt in Norma through the generous efforts of Maurice Fels,in which mental instruction is supplemented by manual train-ing for the boys and domestic education for the girls. Children'sgardens are also conducted by Maurice Fels in Alliance and bythe Jewish Agricultural and Industrial Aid Society in theother colonies.

Religious life in the Colonies is well provided for. One ormore synagogues are to be found in each, and Carmel recentlycompleted a handsome brick synagogue which cost about $5000.In addition to the local private teachers of Hebrew, the JewishChautauqua Society, in 1910, inaugurated a system of religiouseducation in the Colonies, under a competent Rabbi.

On the whole, it may be said that the situation of the SouthJersey Colonies is satisfactory from every point of view. " Thiscolony, or group of colonies," states the report of the UnitedStates Immigration Commission, " presents Hebrew agricul-ture in America at its best. Of the several colonies of Hebrewsstudied none shows greater apparent material prosperity, a moregeneral dependence on agriculture for a livelihood, a more in-telligent, resourceful husbandry, or a more wholesome commu-nity life, educationally, socially, or politically, in a large sense.There is no doubt that a great deal of material encourage-ment has been given, that many of the social and educationalenterprises were conceived, organized, and supported by leaderswithout the community, and that cooperative business associa-tions and marketing facilities were promoted by leaders whodo not live in the settlements; but once established the colonistshave entered into all these enterprises with some degree ofinterest and are beginning to support them. To all appearancesthe colonies near Vineland, N. J., are permanently establishedon 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 deHirsch Fund was the founding of the well-known Jewish settle-ment of Woodbine in 1891. After investigating sites in variousparts of the country, the choice of the Trustees fell upon a tractof land in the northern part of Cape May County, New Jersey,fifty-six miles from Philadelphia and twenty-two miles southof Vineland. A tract of 5300 acres of land was purchased at acost of $37,500. Of this area about 275 acres were laid out fora town site, and about 2000 acres surveyed into thirty acrefarms.

AGRICULTURAL ACTIVITIES OF JEWS IN AMERICA 87

Woodbine, like most of that part of New Jersey, was coveredwith a dense growth of scrub oak and pine. During the firstyear the families of the settlers were left in New York untilsome land could be cleared and buildings erected. The familiesarrived in 1892 and planting began. The work done by thesepioneers was paid for by the Baron de Hirsch Fund and chargedto the cost of the farms. In this way the settlers were enabledto earn a living while improving the farms allotted to them.The cost of the farms with the improvements amounted on theaverage to about $1000. As was to have been expected, not allof the fifty families remained. The hardships were enough todiscourage the most optimistic and persevering. AgriculturallyWoodbine has not made very great progress. The soil is rathersandy and poor and requires a large quantity of fertilizer tomake it productive. There are now about thirty farmers inWoodbine, cultivating about five hundred acres.

Woodbine might be classed as an agricultural-industrialcolony. During the early period, when farming to any extentwas a physical impossibility, it was found necessary, in orderto enable the farmers and their children to make ends meet, toestablish some industries where the surplus farming populationcould find employment. The industrial activities have madebetter progress than the agricultural, and Woodbine's industrialenterprises comprise a machine-shop employing about onehundred persons, two clothing-factories employing two hun-dred and fifty persons, a knitting-mill employing one hundredpersons, besides a hat-factory and a box-factory. These indus-tries are housed in brick buildings and equipped with themost modern machinery.

In 1903 Woodbine was, by act of the legislature, separatedfrom the township of Dennis and made a separate borough.

88 AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK

Woodbine is unique in being the only municipality in thecountry in which all the offices are filled by Jews. It controlsits own school system and has four schools, one of which, thecentral school, was built in 1906 at a cost of $15,000. Thisborough has the distinction of having had the first kindergartenin the county. Among other public buildings there are twosynagogues, a Hebrew School (Talmud Torah), a public bathhouse, a hotel, a meeting hall, and the fire-house of the Volun-teer Fire Brigade. Here also is located the Baron de HirschAgricultural School.

The false assumption sometimes made that the industrialelement of the Woodbine settlement exists by the bounty of theBaron de Hirsch Fund, extended in order to hide the failure ofa great colonizing undertaking, is not borne out by the facts.The Baron de Hirsch Fund has performed the functions usuallyundertaken by a real estate development company, in laying outstreets, building factories, power-house, water-works, etc.; butit has sedulously refrained from eleemosynary gifts, its altru-istic purpose being expressed in the elimination of profit toitself, and in bearing all risks and administrative expenses.

Woodbine is a prosperous town with sanitary factories, suc-cessfully conducted by business men as private enterprises,while paying good wages. There are now about three hundredcomfortable homes, representing an investment of some $300,-000, practically owned by their occupants, through the opera-tions of the five local building and loan associations. The manylodges, clubs, and societies for religious and intellectual im-provement which flourish there, testify to the belief of theinhabitants in the permanency of the settlement.

Northern New Jersey.—There are a number of scatteredJewish 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 ofMiddlesex, Monmouth, and Hunterdon. These are groupedchiefly around New Brunswick, Lakewood, Freehold, andFlemington. They are comparatively new, having grown upwithin the last ten years. With the exception of the Fleming-ton settlement, which was started by the Jewish Agriculturaland Industrial Aid Society, the growth of Jewish farming inNorthern New Jersey has been spontaneous and gradual. TheFlemington settlement was started in 1906 with three families.These farmers were graduates of the experimental farm (TestFarm) the Society was then conducting on Long Island. TheSociety continued adding to its holdings and by 1910 it ac-quired thirty-eight farms, aggregating 3262 acres, at a costof $100,423.77. These were sold under contract to desirablecandidates on easy terms. Practically all the farms in thisvicinity occupied by Jews are, or were at one time, owned by theSociety.

The soil in Northern New Jersey is specially adapted togeneral farming. The farms, as a rule, are fairly large, anddairying is therefore one of the principal branches of farmingconducted. There are a number of creameries and milk depotsin the vicinity, where the farmers market their dairy products.Cereals, such as oats, rye, corn, and buckwheat, are the prin-cipal crops raised. Some of these sections are also adapted topeach growing, and have been for a number of years the leadingpeach producing localities in the State. In the Freehold dis-trict round potatoes are one of its staple products. The localmarkets in Northern New Jersey are good, and the farmers alsohave easy access to the New York market. The proximity ofthese sections to New York City, and their desirability ascountry homes, have tended to raise farm values. The farmers

in this part of the State are progressive, and almost every settle-ment has an active, wideawake local farmers' association.

CONNECTICUT.—In 1891 three Jewish families were sent bythe United Hebrew Charities of New York City to work in oneof the woolen mills in Norwich. Before the year was up theyhad saved a little money and, with the assistance of the Baronde Hirsch Fund, bought abandoned farms in the neighborhood.The following year another immigrant, Hayim Pankin, whowas working in a mill in New London, bought a farm in Ches-terfield, eight miles away, also with the assistance of theBaron de Hirsch Fund. Several Jewish immigrants were at-tracted to the neighborhood, and within a few months a settle-ment of twenty-eight Jewish families had sprung up. TheJewish farming settlement of Colchester also had its beginningin 1891. A number of Russian Jews who were working in therubber mill in Colchester bought farms in the neighborhood.In the fall of that year several well-to-do immigrants fromsouthern Russia, among them Alexis Pincus, also purchasedfarms in the vicinity. The settlement in the Hartford sectionwas started in 1905. Most of the farmers are located near thetown of Ellington, twelve miles from Hartford, with which it isconnected by trolley. These settlers came from southern Russia,and were well supplied with means of their own. They boughtmore or less expensive farms, some costing as much as $10,000.

There are now over a dozen well-defined groups of Jewishfarmers in this State. The farms vary from very cheap aban-doned farms costing in the neighborhood of $1000, to farms ina high state of cultivation with expensive buildings. Thepoorest farms are in the Berkshire region, while the best farmsare in the fertile Connecticut River Valley. In all the settle-ments dairying is the most general branch of farming pursued.

The Hartford settlement is probably the most prosperous inthe United States. In addition to the large dairy herds whichsome of the farmers keep, tobacco growing is carried on ratherextensively. It is not uncommon for a Jewish farmer to realizeas high as $6000 in one year from the sale of tobacco alone.

Professor Alexander E. Cance, of the Massachusetts Agricul-tural College, in a recent article in the Survey on the Jewishfarmers around Hartford says:

The successful founding of the Ellington community and its con-tinued prosperity may be ascribed to several causes. In the firstplace The Jewish Agricultural and Industrial Aid Society hasgreatly assisted the newcomers, not so much by actual loans as bypractical advice both in the purchase of farms and in farm practice.In fact, several farms were chosen and the price and terms ofpurchase determined upon through the instrumentality of theSociety. Owing to this timely assistance, few men paid too dearlyfor their land or made serious cultural mistakes at the outset.

The Jewish farmers in this section, according to ProfessorCance, do not suffer by comparison with their German, Swiss,or American neighbors. Their substantial buildings, modernequipment, 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 notappear "that the Jewish farmers produce less pounds peracre of tobacco or that, on the whole, the quality of the curedleaf is inferior to the average of the vicinity." He found theinvestment of the average Jewish farmer in horses, tools, im-plements, and farm machinery larger and the equipment moremodern and complete, than those of many non-Jewish farmers.

MASSACHUSETTS.—Jewish farming in Massachusetts hasbeen a matter of less than ten years. The Jewish farmers inthis State are settled around Medway and Millis, about twentymiles from Boston, and in the Berkshire Hills, in the extremewestern part.

Page 101: OF ABOUT FOUR THOUSAND YEARS PROF. HE1NRICH GRAETZ'S ... · special aeticles in previous issues of the american jewish year book the alliance israelite univebselle, 5661, pp. 45-65

92 AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK

Most of the farmers around Medway were residents of Boston,who, after saving up some money from their industrial earn-ings, decided to locate upon farms. This section, which com-prises the settlements of Medway, Millis, and Holliston, con-tains about seventy-five Jewish families. The soil in thisregion is productive, and the markets and transportation facil-ities are excellent. The fanners are chiefly engaged in generalfarming. Poultry raising and truck-gardening for the Bostonmarket are also developing rapidly. The Jewish farmers inBerkshire County are chiefly grouped around Great Barringtonand Lee. Their farms are large, some of them having an area ofthree hundred acres or more, but a comparatively small portionof them is fit for cultivation. They are stony and hilly, anddairying is practically the only branch of farming pursued.The markets are poor, and most of the farms are a considerabledistance from the railroad stations. The steep roads makemany of these farms difficult of access. A good many of thefarmers are compelled to add to their income by workingthrough the winter in the city or by cutting and hauling fire-wood ; most of the farms are fortunately well-wooded.

MICHIGAN.—The beginning of Jewish farming in the Stateof Michigan was made at a very early period. In 1882 LazarusSilbeiman, a Chicago banker, assisted twelve families to settleat Carp Lake, in Emmet County, about six miles south ofMackinac Straits. Like the other experiments made duringthat period, it had but a brief existence. In 1890 Isaac Berlinerwas assisted by the Jewish Agriculturists' Aid Society of Clri-cago to settle at Twelve Corners in Berrien County, on LakeMichigan, in the neighborhood of Benton Harbor.

The following year an attempt at founding a colony in thisState was made by sixteen families who settled in Badaxe in

Huron County. They called their settlement Palestine. Theland was heavily timbered, and little farming could thereforebe done. The settlers were soon in dire straits, and in 1893 theBaron de Hirsch Fund came to their aid to keep them fromstarving, but in the summer forest fires devastated the entireregion, and this colony was swept out of existence.

The same year, several other Jewish families were assistedby the Chicago Society to settle near Benton Harbor; the settle-ment has continued to grow, and now numbers about fifty fam-ilies. These farmers settled on worn-out farms, and they hadfor a time an uphill struggle; but Benton Harbor is one of themost important shipping centres for fruit in the State andmost of them proceeded at once with the setting out of fruittrees, which are now coming into bearing, and are bringing goodreturns. Besides the growing of fruit, the Jewish farmers areengaged in dairying, poultry raising, and vegetable gardening,for which the many summer resorts near the Lake furnishexcellent markets.

NOETH DAKOTA.—North Dakota appears to have been aparticular favorite with Jewish settlers, as shown by the numberof efforts at colonization and by the growth of Jewish farmingin that State. The tendency of the Jewish immigrant to takeup Government land seems to be on the increase, although someof the best and most favorably located homesteads have longsince been pre-empted.

The oldest existing Jewish settlement in this State wasfounded in 1887 at Devil's Lake, in Ramsey County, by mem-bers of the defunct Painted Woods Colony. Here they met withbetter success. Many of these early pioneers acquired con-siderable land and, with the growth of the country, becamewell-to-do. Most of them, however, have sold their land at a

profit, and are now engaged in various kinds of business in theneighborhood.

Burleigh County.—The Jewish settlement in BurleighCounty, which is the most firmly established of the NorthDakota settlements, was started in 1901. It is located abouttwenty 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 Agri-culturists' Aid Society, of Chicago, aided a number of residentsfrom that city to settle on Government homesteads in the sameneighborhood. None of these pioneers had any funds of hisown, and few had farming experience of any kind. But withthe aid given by the Chicago Society and also by the JewishAgricultural and Industrial Aid Society of New York, theywere enabled to make satisfactory progress. Some of the set-tlers and their sons during the early period worked in theneighboring coal mines to earn money toward the equipmentof their farms and toward making the necessary improvements.At first the settlers here, as elsewhere in these regions, livedin sod-houses or in dug-outs. Later they built frame dwellingsand other farm buildings. This settlement numbers aboutfifty families.

Sulzberger Colony.—The largest Jewish settlement in thisstate is that in Mclntosh County, near the town of Ashley,about seven miles north from the South Dakota line. It wasfounded in 1904 by the settlement upon Government land of anumber of Jewish families from Minneapolis, who were ledto settle there by some of their Eusso-German friends who pre-ceded them. It was named the Sulzberger Colony in honor ofCyrus L. Sulzberger, who, at the time, was president of theJewish Agricultural and Industrial Aid Society of New York.

Some of these settlers also came from New York, and wereassisted to their destination by the Industrial Eemoval Office.The settlement now comprises about sixty families. The cli-mate in this settlement is milder than that prevailing in Bur-leigh County, but the land is not so rich, and it is somewhatstony. The first settlers, however, were able to locate on somevery good claims, but the late comers had to content themselveswith what was left. Though this colony has made considerableprogress, it suffered a severe setback owing to two successivecrop failures. The settlers became heavily involved in debt, andthe Jewish Agricultural and Industrial Aid Society was calledupon on several occasions for assistance to relieve them of theirheavy burdens by refunding their debts. Still, most of thesettlers have turned the corner, and the prospects, on the whole,are bright.

There are also several Jewish settlements in various parts ofNorth Dakota. The newest and at the same time the largest isBowman, in Bowman County, in the extreme southwestern partof the State. Although the settlement is only about four yearsold, it numbers some fifty families. The other settlements areStroud, in McKenzie County; Dogden, in McLean County;Leipzig, in Morton County, and Velva, in Ward County. Be-sides, there are a number of scattered farmers throughout theState. All told, there are about 250 Jewish farming familiesin North Dakota, comprising an approximate population of1200.

It is generally believed that when the land is free, littleor no money is needed to establish oneself. The new settlersfound this far from being the case. Aside from the expensiveequipment required to cultivate virgin soil, they had to havesomething to live on for two or three years until they could get

sufficient returns from their crops. Those, therefore, who werenot 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 themto extricate themselves. The recent crop failures brought hometo the Jewish farmers, who like the other farmers dependedlargely upon the wheat crop, that they must diversify theirfarming operations. With the help of the Jewish Agriculturaland Industrial Aid Society most of them are going into dairy-ing, which yields them an assured income throughout the year,and a failure of their wheat crops cannot affect them as seriouslyas heretofore. This helps to improve the economic conditionof the Jewish settlers in this and other States in the Northwest.

Scattered as the Jewish farmers in North Dakota of necessitymust be owing to the great distances, they nevertheless try tomaintain a certain degree of social intercourse among them-selves. This is shown by the organization of farmers' associa-tions in the three largest settlements in the state—BurleighCounty, Sulzberger Colony, and Bowman. This year the Jew-ish Chautauqua Society undertook to look after the religiousinterests of the Jewish farmers in this State by sending a Eabbi,who visits the most important settlements and ministers to alltheir religious needs.

MISCELLANEOUS.—There are Jewish farming settlements ofgreater 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 theDelaware Eiver. Ohio has two distinct settlements, one in thenorthern part of the State near Cleveland, and the other in thesouthern part, in the vicinity of Cincinnati, from which citiesthe settlers were recruited.

In Wisconsin the Milwaukee Agricultural Association, ofwhich A. W. Eich of that city was the organizer, enlisted theinterest of the Jewish Agricultural and Industrial Aid Society,of New York, and with funds furnished by the latter boughtin 640 acres of cut-over timber land in Arpin, Wood County.This was divided up into sixteen farms of forty acres each, andseveral families from Milwaukee were settled. Because of thecharacter of the land the settlers were not successful and left.About six of them, however, returned last year, and reportsindicate that they are now likely to remain.

In 1910 the St. Louis Prospective Farmers' Association, anorganization of immigrant Jews in St. Louis, bought an eighthundred 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. Atfirst the settlers worked the land together, but subsequentlydivided it up into eight farms in proportion to the investmentof the individual members of the association. In 1911 theJewish Agricultural and Industrial Aid Society made themloans aggregating $14,500 toward paying off a mortgage.

A number of Jewish immigrants settled on Government landin Perkins County, South Dakota, thirty miles from Iiemmon,the nearest railroad station on the Puget Sound Eailroad, in1908. After locating, they were financially assisted by theJewish Agricultural and Industrial Aid Society, but two suc-cessive years of severe drought caused a number of the settlersin that country, both Jews and non-Jews, to abandon theirhomesteads. A few, however, remained, and many of thosewho left did so only temporarily in order to work during thewinter, with the intention of returning in the spring.

In Nebraska some fifteen Jewish families also filed on Gov-ernment land in 1910 in Cherry County, forty miles fromHyannis, the nearest railroad station on the Burlington Kail-road. This land is in the arid belt, and is suitable only forgrazing. Settlement was made under the Kinkaid (DesertLand) Act, and each settler has a whole section, that is, 640acres.

Two small Jewish settlements are to be found in the State ofWashington, one in Republic, in Ferry County, in the north-eastern part of the State, and the other in Lakebay, PierceCounty, about fifteen miles west of Tacoma. The first-namedsettlement is in a former mining district. The land is not espe-cially adapted to farming, and when the mines closed and themarket for farm products disappeared, most of the settlers left.In the other settlement, Lakebay, the marketing and transpor-tation facilities are good, and the farmers are doing well. Theyare chiefly engaged in trucking and fruit growing. The settle-ment started in 1906, and numbers about twenty families.

The Jewish settlement in Wyoming is located in the easternpart of the State, about twenty miles northwest of Mitchell,Nebraska. The settlement started in 1907 when about fifteenJewish families from Pittsburg filed on Government land inthat State. The interest of the Jewish Agricultural and In-dustrial Aid Society was enlisted in their behalf by Rabbi J.Leonard Levy, of Pittsburg, and the Society loaned money tothese settlers to equip their farms. The settlement is in thesemi-arid zone. The settlers expected that a Government irri-gation project would soon be carried out, but thus far theirhopes have not materialized. The settlers are doing whateverdry farming they can, and most of them are working on theirrigated farms in the neighborhood in order to subsist. They

have displayed a great deal of tenacity, and are holding on totheir homesteads in the hope that the United States Reclama-tion Service will in time construct the " ditch " and make theirfarms valuable.

A Jewish farming settlement is also to be found in the Sacra-mento Valley, California, in Placer County, about six milesfrom the town of Lincoln. In 1909 a tract of land was boughtand divided up into small parcels of from six to eighteenacres. The little colony is run partly on the community basis.The settlers planted orange trees on most of their land, andfruit growing and poultry raising are mainly carried on.

An experiment is being made in Sanpete County, on theSevier River, Utah, by the Jewish Agricultural and ColonialAssociation, an organization of Jewish immigrants largely resi-dents of Philadelphia. The association purchased in 1911about six thousand acres of plateau land directly from the Stateof Utah. Under the leadership of Benjamin Brown and JosephMiller, the latter a graduate of the National Farm School,fifteen pioneers took possession of this land, and during the falland winter of 1911 broke up and planted fifteen hundred acresin wheat, oats, and alfalfa. The plan calls for the settlement of150 families. The entire tract is to be cultivated on a coopera-tive basis until the settlement is completed, when it will be par-celled off into forty acres for each family. It is intended tobring over the first group of thirty families after the harvestingof the first crop. Through the instrumentality of Rabbi IsaacLandman, of Philadelphia, a number of prominent Jews ofSalt Lake City were interested, and the Utah ColonizationFund was incorporated to finance the individual members whomay settle on the land of the association.

The latest Jewish farming settlement is the Ida StrausColony, named in memory of Ida Straus, who, with her hus-band, Isidor Straus, lost her life in the Titanic disaster.About twenty Jewish families of St. Louis, who formed theJewish Farmers' Association, of St. Louis, of which MichaelWittals is president, bought in the spring of 1912 a five thou-sand acre tract of land near Houston, Texas, and some of themembers have already left St. Louis to take possession of theland, erect buildings, and begin farming operations.

COOPERATION AND SELF-HELP

The most remarkable feature in the evolution of the agri-cultural movement among the Jews in the United States is thedevelopment of the spirit of self-help and cooperation. TheJewish farmers have learned the advantages of organized en-deavor, and their efforts at mutual self-help and social andeducational betterment are being well repaid.

FARMERS' ASSOCIATIONS.—The establishment of a systemof intercommunication among the Jewish farmers through themedium of the Jewish Farmer created in them a natural desireto learn something of one another. This resulted in the forma-tion of farmers' associations in many localities. From four in1908 their number has steadily increased, until there are to-dayforty-eight active and enterprising associations. These localassociations supply the cohesive force whereby the Jewish farm-ers in each section are drawn and held together. Though theassociations are primarily agricultural, they enter into everyphase of the life of the Jewish farmer. Their meetings aremade occasions for picnics, festivals, and other social gatheringsfor the wives and children of the farmers. They are lookedupon as models by the non-Jewish farmers in the vicinity.

FEDERATION OF JEWISH FARMERS.—With a number of or-ganizations composed of men of the same blood, having sufferedthe same hardships, possessing the same ideals, with interestsin common, and the same problems to solve, it was but a naturalstep that they should wish to get into closer relations with oneanother. Samuel P. Becker, a retired Jewish farmer of Hart-ford, Connecticut, started an agitation for a union of theseassociations. A meeting was held in New York City in Janu-ary, 1909, at which the thirteen associations then existing wererepresented. This resulted in the formation of the Federationof Jewish Farmers of America, with Samuel P. Becker, presi-dent; Samuel Hein, of Nassau, N. Y., vice-president; SamuelKleinfeld, of Vineland, 1ST. J., treasurer; and Joseph W.Pincus, of New York City, secretary.

In pursuance of a resolution adopted at this meeting—thefirst annual convention of Jewish farmers—an agriculturalfair and exhibition was held during the Succoth week of 1909,at the Educational Alliance, New York City, under the auspicesof the newly-formed Federation. The exhibits came from manyStates, and included fruits, vegetables, grains, grasses, flowers,butter, cheese, preserves, bread, pastry, honey, and so on.There were also educational exhibits from the AgriculturalColleges of New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, and Massa-chusetts. The exhibit that attracted most attention was thatof the Baron de Hirsch Agricultural School, of Woodbine, NewJersey. Exhibits were also made by the National Farm School,of Doylestown, Pennsylvania, the children's gardens in theSouth Jersey Colonies, and the patients of the Country Sanita-rium of the Montefiore Home at Bedford, New York. The in-terest created by the fair was widespread, and not less thanfifty thousand persons came to view the exhibits.

The Federation holds a convention annually in the fall, gen-erally during Succoth week, attended by delegates from all con-stituent associations. The place of meeting is usually the Edu-cational Alliance in New York City. The opening session isdevoted to a public mass meeting, at which addresses are madeby men prominent in public life. The rest of the sessions arechiefly taken up with business matters and with the discussionof problems of importance to the Jewish farmers. Marketing,improvement of social and educational facilities, and the ad-vantages of cooperation are the main topics under discussion.The Federation's influence on the economic improvement ofthe 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, fertil-izers, implements, and other supplies at a considerable saving.Another advantage is that by dealing through the Federationhe receives liberal credit. During the spring of 1912 the pur-chasing bureau did $45,000 worth of business.

COOPERATIVE CREDIT.—The need of an adequate system ofagricultural credit in the United States has long been felt.This is especially true in the case of the new farmer. He musthave seasonal credit in order to work his farm properly. Amoderate loan to tide him over until he can market his crops,obtainable with little difficulty and at no expense, is what herequires.

The Jewish Agricultural and Industrial Aid Society recog-nized the need for this form of credit by Jewish farmers, butwas in no position to meet it. It cannot keep in sufficientlyclose touch with the farming communities to warrant its mak-ing loans of this nature. Accordingly, in 1911, it set about or-ganizing cooperative credit unions among the various Jewish

AGRICULTURAL ACTIVITIES OF JEWS IN AMERICA 103

farming settlements. As a result, ten such associationsare now in active operation. Each of these credit unions raised$500 through the sale of shares to members, and the Societyloaned them, at two per cent, $1000—two dollars for everydollar of their own.

The form of organization of these Credit Unions is similarto that of the Raiffeisen Banks in Germany, upon which mostother credit banks throughout the world are modelled. Theyare controlled entirely by the members. Shares in these CreditUnions are $5 each, and the holder of one share has the samevoice and the same rights as the holder of, say, one hundredshares. Membership in the Unions is open only to members ingood standing of the local Jewish farmers' association. Theentire membership of a Credit Union constitutes the GeneralAssembly, which has the final decision on all questions. Thedirect management is in the hands of a board of directors con-sisting of the president, vice-president, secretary, and treasurer,who also constitute the Credit Committee, and are in completecharge of the granting of loans, and three other members whoconstitute the Supervisory Committee. The members of theboard of directors are not eligible to borrow except by a two-thirds vote of the General Assembly in each instance. Theloans are granted only for productive purposes or urgent needs.They are not granted for a period exceeding six months nor foran amount exceeding $100. Interest is charged at the rate of sixper cent. The security is determined by the Credit Committee,and is generally a promissory note with one or more responsibleendorsements. Initiation fees and other charges, also so muchof the net profits as has not been distributed as dividends,constitute the Reserve Fund of the Credit Unions.

It is a little early at this stage to attempt a discussion ofthese pioneer credit banks on American soil. Some of the effectsresulting from an adequate system of cooperative credit haveeven at this early date manifested themselves in the communi-ties in which these Credit Unions were established. The per-nicious 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. TheCredit Unions have endowed their members with a high senseof mutual responsibility, and have stimulated them to furthereffort in the direction of cooperation and mutual self-help.

JEWISH AGRICULTURAL SCHOOLS IN THE UNITED STATES

BARON DE HIRSCH AGRICULTURAL SCHOOL.—The Baron deHirsch Agricultural School was founded in 1894. It is locatedin Woodbine, and had its beginning in the introduction ofmanual training into the public school curriculum in thatcolony. Later a series of lectures on agricultural topics wasconducted for the benefit of the farmers in the vicinity. Theinterest in these lectures was so keen that the Baron de HirschFund decided to erect a barn where the children of Jewishfarmers could learn the care of dairy animals. The first classof fifteen boys was organized in the fall of 1894. Until the fallof 1898 the school developed slowly, as it was regarded only asan experiment. Most of the pupils were children of Woodbinesettlers, but a few boys from the New York Orphan Asylumwere admitted as resident pupils. The work accomplished inthis way convinced the Trustees of the Baron de Hirsch Fundthat an agricultural school of larger scope would prove of greatbenefit, and a dormitory was erected to accommodate eightypupils. The school continued to make progress, both physi-

cally and otherwise. It is well equipped with the necessarybuildings, including a brick school building, a dormitory, amodern cow barn, nurseries, greenhouses, poultry plant, and soon.

This school has the distinction of being the first school inthe United States imparting secondary education in agri-culture. The students are of mature years, and the aim of theschool is to train them as practical farmers. The course iseither one or two years, depending upon the aptitude of thepupil. The graduates, after leaving school, have work securedfor them, upon modern, up-to-date farms in every part of thecountry, with a view to giving them further practical experi-ence in the line of farming to which they are inclined and towhich they have devoted most of their time while at school.The number of pupils registered at the school at this date iseighty, and there is a large waiting list for future registration.Between 1894 and 1912 the school sent out 891 students, ofwhom 429 completed the course and were graduated. Someof the former students have made their mark at teaching inagricultural schools, and in the service of the United StatesDepartment of Agriculture, and in similar Departments of thevarious States.

NATIONAL FABM SCHOOL.—Another Jewish agriculturalschool was founded in 1896 by Eabbi Joseph Krauskopf, ofPhiladelphia. This school was named the National FarmSchool, and is located at Doylestown, Bucks County, Penn-sylvania, thirty miles from Philadelphia.

In the summer of 1897 the National Farm School beganoperations with a class of four students, on a 125-acre farm.This farm was purchased with money raised by Eabbi Kraus-kopf by delivering lectures throughout the country, in which he

solicited money for this purpose. The lands of the school havesince grown to four hundred acres, with seventeen buildingsof various kinds. The school is picturesquely located in oneof the best farming sections in eastern Pennsylvania.

The National Farm School aims especially to afford agri-cultural training to young men who are not prepared to enterState agricultural colleges. Its course of study is outlined foryoung men of common school education. The institution issupported by private subscriptions from all parts of the countryand 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 coursecovers a period of four years; tuition, board, lodging, andclothing are free. Since 1901 the school has graduated 107students, besides it has taught a large number who attended fora year or more. Some of the graduates have made reputationsfor themselves as experts in various branches of agriculture, asinstructors in agricultural colleges, and as managers of planta-tions in the South and of fruit farms in the West, and recentlyas leaders of the Clarion Colony in Utah.

THE JEW IN THE AGRICULTURAL PROFESSION

There has been of late an increasing tendency on the partof Jewish young men to enter the agricultural profession. Thisis evidenced by the increasing number of Jewish students atthe agricultural colleges of the various States. The entrance ofJewish young men into a field in which there is plenty of elbowroom is highly significant. Although they are new in a newcalling, the records established by some of them are encourag-ing.

AFTERWORD

BY MORRIS LOEB, Ph. D.

To those who have read with care Mr. Eobinson's ablereview of the various Jewish agricultural settlements, it oughtto be apparent that the Jew as a farmer is not a mere sporadicoccurrence, and that his comparative rarity is due greatly tothe conditions which for many years prevented his possessingarable lands in so many countries. If we seek a striking

historical contrast, we might compare the serf who was forciblytied to the soil, and whose descendants form the body of theagricultural population of present Europe, with the mediaevalJew who was not allowed to possess any land outside the ghettolimit, and whose descendants are now seeking to gain a footholdamong the farming population of America. There will be, inevery country that does not impose arbitrary restrictions uponthe freedom of motion of its inhabitants, a certain tendencytoward the cities and a countervailing trend toward the opencountry. This freedom of exchange must be recognized as aninherent condition of personal liberty, and if, for economic orsociological reasons, a relative increase of rural population isdesired, only such means can be adopted as will make agricul-tural life permanently attractive. No bonus system, no prom-ises that cannot be kept, no attempt to stimulate an artificialsentiment will effect a permanent settlement, any more thanit will be possible to keep a certain proportion of the childrenof the colonists from returning to the cities.

For this reason, those who try to foster agricultural tenden-cies among the Jews must seek means that do not differ inprinciple from those to be adopted in connection with anyagricultural movement. Wherever this common-sense rule isneglected, wherever colonists are planted in localities notsuitably chosen, wherever the colonists themselves are notselected with regard to their intellectual, physical, and moralfitness, wherever they are not sufficiently equipped with agri-cultural implements as well as agricultural knowledge, wher-ever they lack the means to await the harvesting of the first suc-cessful crop, the colonies are 'bound to fail; and it is the neglectof one or other of these essentials that has caused so many bitterdisappointments in the past among the innumerable agricul-

tural settlements—Jewish and others—which have been placedin so many different parts of the world during the pastfifty years. The worst mistake of all is that of placing paupersin an agricultural colony, with the idea that they must succeedthere, when they have failed in industrial or financial pursuits.The true pauper lacks the essentials for the successful farmerin the same degree: namely, will-power and the capacity forsustained effort. An agricultural colony composed largely ofindustrial failures will he an agricultural failure as well. Onthe other hand, it must be remembered that paternal adminis-tration of a colony will certainly repel the ablest and mostprogressive settlers, and it is for this reason that the AllianceIsraelite Universelle, the Jewish Colonization Association, aswell as the American organizations dealing with the same prob-lems, are endeavoring, as far as possible, to reduce the paternalsystem in the form of administrators dwelling within thecolonies, and to substitute therefor local self-government, withthe aid of travelling agricultural and administrative advisers.The results seem to have been most encouraging, and suchcolonies have not only succeeded in retaining their originalmembership, but have attracted additional energetic settlers.An artificially-planted colony, however, is, at best, a makeshiftas compared with voluntary acquisition of land by the settlerhimself, and it is here that the greatest development must beexpected in the future, inasmuch as this follows the naturalcourse of events and is free from any artificial stimulus, whoseremoval might lead to a collapse of the enterprise. This is thechief field to which the Jewish Agricultural Societies are devot-ing their energies at the present moment. It might be well tosummarize the means that are being employed as the result ofthe experience of a quarter of a century.

AGRICULTURAL ACTIVITIES OF JEWS IN AMERICA

First: Financial.—Every form of gift must be avoided, andthe relations between the settler and the Society must be uponan equitable commercial basis. Loans are to be made on fairsecurity at low rates of interest and with the fullest regard forthe real needs of the farmer, in contradistinction to the localusurers, who exact exorbitant rates of interest, and try toinduce the borrower to make unnecessary expenditures in orderthat he shall forfeit his equity under the load of his debts; eventhe local bank is often not free from this reproach. Theinterest and capital must bepaid as promptly as possible duringgood seasons, while no advantage is taken of misfortunes beyondthe control of the settler, and the tendency to improve his landis always taken into full account in the extension of time or thegranting of additional loans. To meet immediate wants of atemporary nature, for which the regular machinery of themortgage department is too cumbersome, cooperative loansocieties are to be encouraged among the farmers themselves,with some aid from the central organization. All shareholdersare entitled to equal consideration in the granting of shortloans, and the same machinery can be made available in thecooperative purchasing of seeds, fertilizers, and implements onthe joint credit of the entire group of farmers.

Second: Agricultural Information.—The intending settlershould be assisted to the fullest extent in the selection of hisfarm, and if it is impossible to maintain a regular staff ofexperts for such a purpose, connection should be sought withofficial agricultural stations, or other established institutions,for the purpose of securing such advice when needed. Farmsalready in operation should be frequently visited by agriculturaladvisers, who shall point out in a reasonable manner the defectsof management which appear to them. These advisers must not

he the fiscal agents of the organization, in order that the farmermay feel that the advice given is entirely disinterested. This isonly following the plan adopted by our western railroads, whodesire to promote the productivity of the lands along their rightof way. The printing of a special agricultural paper by theJewish Agricultural and Industrial Aid Society was only due tothe linguistic disability of so many of its proteges; but the useof good agricultural papers and, perhaps, the establishment oftravelling agricultural libraries would be of the greatest im-portance in disseminating this knowledge.

Third: Instruction of the Young.—We must carefully dif-ferentiate between the teaching required by the children offarmers and that adapted to the wants of city dwellers who wishto take up agriculture. The former have a natural familiaritywith farming conditions, and for them the best instruction isthat which is given, in the United States, at least, by the vari-ous State Colleges of Agriculture in the so-called short wintercourses. The Jewish Agricultural and Industrial Aid Societyhas for a number of years past provided stipends, to enable thechildren of Jewish farmers to attend these courses, and bringhome knowledge which will enable them to assist their fathersto the greatest possible extent in the cultivation of the farm.For the boy or girl who desires to take up farming from a scien-tific standpoint, the State institutions afford the best possibleopportunity, and limited assistance toward attending themwould not be out of place, if it were not to be feared that evenat the present time more students are crowding into thesescientific courses than are likely to make a satisfactory showingin the careers to which they are expected to lead. But the farmschool, as a means of educating for farm life city dwellers, stillremains as an essential feature of the general agricultural

scheme. Those at Woodbine and Doylestown are now especiallydevoting their energies toward developing as far as possible ataste for agriculture and teaching as rapidly as possible theessentials which enable young men to obtain positions as agri-cultural laborers, with the promise that they will be assistedtoward independent holdings as soon as they have acquired thenecessary general experience, and proved their fitness to con-tinue in agricultural pursuits.

Fourth: Artificial aid to agricultural colonists is sometimesnecessary, where special conditions are to be overcome. Cream-eries and canneries will compensate for the absence of localmarkets; special harvesting machinery, grain elevators, etc.,will enable a group of small cultivators to compete successfullywith the owner of a large tract. If a benevolent society at-tempts to manage such establishments, it will commit a seriousblunder. The only satisfactory arrangement can be that adoptedby many American towns, of offering special inducements toindependent operators to establish themselves in a particularlocality. Subventions made for such a purpose will in the endprove no sacrifice at all, but it would be far better to avoid asfar as possible the necessity for such enterprises, by seeking todeter settlers from placing themselves in positions where theirfuture is dependent upon artificial aid.

Finally: The healthfulness of the region and enjoyment tobe derived from the neighborhood, as well as the educationalopportunities as compared with those in cities and towns, be-come more and more important conditions in determining thechoice of location: farming communities which lack social,hygienic, and intellectual advantages will gradually lose theirbest inhabitants. It is for this reason that more and more at-tention will have to be paid to improving the schools, places of

worship, and places of amusement in agricultural centres, andit is fortunate that, in America, at least, there are societies likethe Jewish Chautauqua which are devoting attention especiallyto questions of this kind, and whose cooperation will more andmore overcome the arguments that keep families from settlingupon the open land. The State will have to do its share, byproviding better police protection, better means of communica-tion, better medical supervision, in time, even better distribu-tion of such utilities as are found in the urban community; buteven now individual efforts in these directions are sure to bearample fruit.

When the large number of families now established upon thesoil, whose success is visible to so many of their acquaintances,is compared with the deterrent effect of the largely-advertisedagricultural failures of a quarter of a century ago, the move-ment of the Jewish population to agricultural regions is boundto become increasingly important, and therefore the presentAMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK performs a useful office in pub-lishing a survey of the conditions at a time that may be takenas the threshold of an era wherein the ratio between city andcountry-dwellers among the Jews will be that imposed by naturerather than by restrictive tyranny.

264 AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK

JEWISH STATISTICSThe statistics of Jews in the world rest largely upon estimates.

In Russia, Austria-Hungary, Germany, and a few other countries,official figures are obtainable. In the main, however, the num-bers given are based upon estimates repeated and added to byone statistical authority after another.

For the statistics given below various authorities have beenconsulted, among them the " Statesman's Year Book" for 1912,the English " Jewish Year Book " for 5672-73, " The Jewish Ency-clopedia," Judische Statistik, and the Alliance Israelite Uni-verselle reports.

THE UNITED STATESESTIMATES

As the census of the United States has, in accordance with thespirit of American institutions, taken no heed of the religiousconvictions of American citizens, whether native-born or natural-ized, all statements concerning the number of Jews living in thiscountry are based upon estimates.

The Jewish population was estimated—In 1818 by Mordecai M. Noah at 3,000In 1824 by Solomon Etting at 6,000In 1826 by Isaac C. Harby at 6,000In 1840 by the American Almanac at 15,000In 1848 by M. A. Berk at 50,000In 1880 by Wm. B. Hackenburg at 230,257In 1888 by Isaac Markens at 400,000In 1897 by David Sulzberger at 937,800In 1905 by " The Jewish Encyclopedia " a t 1,508,435In 1907 by " The American Jewish Year Book"

at 1,777,185In 1910 by " The American Jewish Year Book "

at 2,044,762

DISTRIBUTIONThe following table by States presents two sets of estimates.

In the left-hand column is given the estimated Jewish populationof each State for 1905 as it appears in the " Jewish Encyclopedia,"Vol. XII, pp. 371-374, in the article "United States." In theright-hand column are the estimates made up from figures fur-nished by correspondents who interested themselves in theDlRECTOBT OF JEWISH ORGANIZATIONS IN THE UNITED STATES COm-piled for the AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK, 5668 (p. 432).

This shows an increase of 37,220 over the figures for the samecities given in the AMERICAN JEWISH YEAE BOOK for 5668, or notquite 15 per cent. On this basis the Jewish population of thewhole of the United States should have increased, since the lastestimate, made in 1907, from 1,777,185 to 2,044,762.

IMMIGRATION

The total Jewish immigration to the United States, through thethree ports of entry, New York, Philadelphia, and Baltimore, from1881 to June 30, 1912, is stated to have been 1,632,399.2

From this number should be deducted6,401 emigrating alien Jews recorded, and a considerable numbernot recorded. Thus the total increase of the Jewish population byimmigration 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 Jewsrecorded, and a considerable number not recorded.

REPORT OF THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE

As this is the fifth occasion on which we confer in annual meet-ing, it may be well to review some of the more important problemswhich confronted us at the inception of this Committee and torecall the manner in which we have dealt with them.

The Committee, you will remember, took its rise out of thenecessities of our unfortunate coreligionists in Russia and Rou-mania and the requirement that an efficient organization be in-stituted to undertake a coordination of the means available in thiscountry for meeting the ever-continuing emergency in Jewry. TheCommittee may be regarded therefore as having developed out ofthe pogroms of 1905, though by the time the Committee was or-ganized, the immediate problems arising therefrom had been met

294 AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK

with unusual efficiency. But those who had the larger share inorganizing the relief work felt the need of instituting a permanentorganization that might be at hand to deal with a similaremergency if it should ever again arise.

The past five years have witnessed no wholesale pogroms, thoughthe Czar and his ministers have devised and put in force othermodes of persecution not less deadly. For the swifter method ofmere murder, there has been substituted the more cruel process ofphysical and mental starvation, of torture and inhuman repression.The problems, therefore, of Russia and Roumania as they affectthe Jews of this country have been increasing rather than diminish-ing.

The Committee, at the inception of its work, was confronted withthe necessity of dealing with the threatened enactment of re-strictive immigration laws in our own country. Through theefforts of those favoring a liberal immigration policy, the harsh-ness of the laws proposed at the opening of the session of Congressin 1906, was mitigated, and the act of February, 1907, was putupon the statute books. Though not in any sense a restrictivemeasure, it raised the head-tax from two to four dollars, and re-tained the exclusion clauses of the previous act. Its most notableprovision was that empowering the appointment of a Commissionto investigate the whole question of immigration. This Commis-sion, whose work was concluded at the last session of the Sixty-First Congress, has now completed its report in forty bdd volumeswhich have not yet been published.

In order that the Commission might not be led into error respect-ing Jewish immigration, your Committee, as soon as the Commis-sion organized, communicated with that body, requesting leave topresent data that might be of use in the endeavor to reach a justand unbiased conclusion. Upon invitation of the Commission, theCommittee, in cooperation with the Independent Order B'nai B'rithand the Board of Delegates of the Union of American Hebrew Con-gregations, on November 7, 1910, submitted recommendations re-specting the revision of the laws and regulations, which were com-municated to you in our last annual report. That the Commissionconsidered these suggestions may be fairly inferred from thepresence in the Immigration Commission's report of several ofthem, notably that respecting the method of appointing Boards ofSpecial Inquiry, which have to deal with all cases of appeals fromexclusion in the first instance.

The published preliminary abstracts of the reports of the Immi-gration Commission evidence but slight desire to adhere to thetime-honored tradition that has made this country a refuge forthe oppressed of all lands. It was contended that on economicgrounds the increase of our population by immigration was toorapid, and that some method of restriction should be adopted. The

Page 304: OF ABOUT FOUR THOUSAND YEARS PROF. HE1NRICH GRAETZ'S ... · special aeticles in previous issues of the american jewish year book the alliance israelite univebselle, 5661, pp. 45-65

REPORT OF AMERICAN JEWISH COMMITTEE 295

Commission favored a reading and writing test as likely to effectmost equitably the desired end. In reaching this determination,the object seems to be to decrease the immigration from Southernand Eastern Europe, which forms the bulk of our immigration.Opposition to immigration has always been against that coming inlargest numbers. There was a time when the coming of the Ger-mans and of the Irish was similarly opposed. The decrease ofgeneral immigration from Germany and Ireland has changed theideas of those who formerly regarded the immigrants from thosecountries as a danger to this country. The restrictionists nowaffect to deplore the paucity of German and Irish immigrants, andhope to stimulate their coming by excluding as many as possibleof other immigrants. The real situation is that there always havebeen persons hostile to immigration. As times change, these shifttheir 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, whichcontains, among other drastic provisions, one that establishes areading and writing test.

It is pleasing to note that two advocates of restrictionist legis-lation, namely, Mr. John L. Burnett, of Alabama, the Chairman ofthe House Committee on Immigration, and Mr. Everis A. Hayes,of California, another member of that Committee, have put them-selves on record as favoring the exemption from proposed re-strictive measures of all victims of religious and political persecu-tion. In view of the conditions, it is requisite that all those whofavor the maintenance of this country's traditions exert their in-fluence at the proper time to oppose drastic changes in our immi-gration laws.

THE PASSPORT QUESTION

For more than a generation after the Treaty of 1832 with Russiawas made, no question arose as to its interpretation. Then camethe change in Russia's policy towards her Jewish subjects. Forsemi-tolerance was substituted persecution soon to be followed bymassacre. Almost coincident with Russia's change in her policytoward her Jewish subjects arose the refusal to vise1 the passportsof American Jews. The members of this Committee are familiarwith the efforts made by all our Secretaries of State to induceRussia to comply with the terms of the Treaty of 1832. You areequally familiar with the ineffectiveness of these efforts. Toearnest and persistent remonstrance, Russia always replied bymere diplomatic evasions and postponements, which amount to apractical denial of redress or even of respectful consideration of thequestion. The plain fact is, therefore, that the situation remainsjust what it was forty-five years ago.

Your Executive Committee gave to this subject its most earnestconsideration almost from its first meetings. Assured that noresults were to be obtained from further recourse to the ordinarychannels of diplomacy, it soon came to the conclusion that someother and more drastic method would have to be devised to makethe Russian Government appreciate that the protests of the UnitedStates were not mere formalities. After much deliberation, it wasdetermined to recommend to the President the abrogation of thetreaties with Russia. This was a course permitted by the terms ofthe treaties, and was resolved upon as the most likely method ofimpressing upon the Russian Government that the United States isin earnest, and will no longer tolerate the continued violation ofthe Treaty of 1832.

Accordingly, a letter was despatched to President Roosevelt onMay 18, 1908, which began the attempt on the part of your Com-mittee to induce the Government to do something effective to termi-nate the controversy. The correspondence with Presidents Roose-velt and Taft and Secretaries Root and Knox was published in thelast issue of THE AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK. In addition, con-ferences were had with President Roosevelt and with PresidentTaft, notably on February 15, 1911. On this last occasion, by in-vitation of the President, representatives of the Union of AmericanHebrew Congregations, the Independent Order B'nai B'rith, andthe American Jewish Committee had an extended conference withhim.

As all our endeavors proved futile, we reluctantly reached theconclusion that the present administration was not willing to adoptany other measure than diplomatic representation, which promisedno better results in the future than had been attained by it in thepast. We, therefore, felt ourselves compelled to appeal to the peopleof the United States. This course was not lightly undertaken, andwas determined upon after most serious deliberation. Our firstpublic appeal was made in cooperation with the Union of AmericanHebrew Congregations. The address delivered by Mr. Marshallat its Twenty-Second Council marked the opening of the campaign.It presented our position clearly and unmistakably, and in orderthat the people of the United States might be informed upon thequestion, nearly 35,000 copies were printed and sent to the pressand the pulpit and to individuals of prominence and influence inall walks of life. This was followed by a similar distribution of aspeech made in Congress by Mr. Herbert Parsons. Wide distribu-tion also was given to an address on " The United States Passportand Russia," by Judge Rufus B. Smith, President of the CincinnatiBar Association, and to articles which appeared in the New YorkTimes, the Outlook, the New York Evening Post, and the New YorkEvening 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 ofmore than a month.

You will recall that immediately upon the convening of Congressin special session, Mr. William Sulzer, a representative from NewYork and Chairman of the Committee on Foreign Affairs, intro-duced a resolution providing for the termination of the Treatywith Russia. (See AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK 5671, p. 57.)

Similar resolutions were introduced in the House hy Representa-tives William E. Calder, Francis Burton Harrison, and HenryM. Goldfogle, of New York; Alfred G. Allen, of Ohio; and Joseph W.Byrns, of Tennessee. In the Senate also the matter was the sub-ject 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 wascalled to consider a specific measure, no action on these resolutionscould be had. But there is every reason to expect that Mr. Sulzer,who is Chairman of the Committtee on Foreign Affairs, and theother representatives who have introduced resolutions, togetherwith Senator Culberson, will energetically advocate the resolutionsto abrogate the treaty at the session about to convene. We havealso received assurances that ample opportunity will be given tous to appear before both the House and Senate Committees inadvocacy of these resolutions when they receive consideration.

That the people of the United States are beginning to awaken tothe importance of the question is evidenced by the passage in theLegislatures of fifteen States of resolutions on the subject. TenState Legislatures, namely, of California, Colorado, Connecticut,Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Montana, Nevada, New York, and Wash-ington, have gone on record as unqualifiedly in favor of the termina-tion of the Treaty of 1832. Many great newspapers and numerousorganizations of the country have stoutly advocated and defendedthis course.

At a clerical conference held under the auspices of the New YorkFederation of Churches, October 30, 1911, the following resolutionwas passed:

WHEREAS, It is and always has been the fundamental principle of thisGovernment that the rights of its citizens shall not be Impaired at home orabroad on account of religious belief; and

WHEEEAS, Under the treaty between the United States and Russia nego-tiated in 1832, Russia claims the right to and does discriminate betweenAmerican citizens on the ground of religious belief, and, as a consequence,several classes of American citizens, notably ministers of various denomina-tions, and especially Jews are excluded from Russia, and American citizensof the Jewish faith are subject to the same class restrictions as the Govern-ment imposes upon its own inhabitants of the Jewish faith, all of which iscontrary to the plain wording and meaning of such treaty ;

Therefore, this assembly urgently requests the President to terminatesaid 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 con-trary to the fundamental principles of our Government, and that we cannotadmit 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 Yorkhas been formed under the presidency of Andrew D. White, for-merly Minister to Russia, with William G. McAdoo as Chairman ofthe Executive Committee, and Henry Green as Managing Director,and having a membership composed of distinguished men through-out the country, to protest against Russia's violation of the treatyand to endeavor to terminate the intolerable conditions arisingtherefrom.

But your Committee feels that much more publicity is required,and to further this end, we are making a wide distribution of areprint of the article in the YEAR BOOK, and of other special articleson the subject.

The Jews of the United States are warranted in assuming thatthe only likelihood of a redress of their grievances is through anappeal to the intelligence, the patriotism, and the sense of justiceof the American people. It behooves every member of the Ameri-can Jewish Committee to use his best endeavors to bring about thepassage of the resolutions now pending in the House and Senate.In every Congressional District representations should be made tothe representative in Congress before he leaves his home; in everyState, the Senators should be waited on. Such conferences of thepeople's representatives with their constituents must be pro-ductive of much good. They give opportunities to explain matterswhich in the hurrry of business at Washington might be over-looked, and, in any event, personal conferences leave a more vividimpression than mere writings, which are liable to be buried in themass of mail matter received by our Congressmen.

The helpful cooperation with other organizations in the pastconvinces us that the activity of others, in any manner they maydeem best, will promote the end we have in view. All bodies andpersons who feel an interest in the subject should be energeticallyengaged in making their sentiments known to their Senators andRepresentatives.

If the policy of the public presentation of this grievance besteadfastly carried out, there is every reason to hope that thewrong which we have so long suffered may be righted.

NOTE.—The success attending the movement to terminate the treaty withRussia is briefly recorded on pp. 196-210.

JEWISH COMMUNITY OF NEW YOEK CITY

The Jewish Community of New York City, the Executive Com-mittee of which forms the membership of the American JewishCommittee from District XII, submits the following report:

Page 308: OF ABOUT FOUR THOUSAND YEARS PROF. HE1NRICH GRAETZ'S ... · special aeticles in previous issues of the american jewish year book the alliance israelite univebselle, 5661, pp. 45-65

REPORT OF AMERICAN JEWISH COMMITTEE 299

NEW YORK, November 10, 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 briefsummary of some of the activities of our organization. Since then theSecond Annual Convention of the Jewish Community [Kehillah] of NewYork City was held on February 26, and our Executive Committee thenreported at length regarding the work of our body to the delegates of ourconstituent organizations assembled. Copies of the reports presented at thisConvention were sent to all the members of the American Jewish Committee.Following this Convention, most of the activities reported on were con-tinued by our organization, and some of the plans then presented werebrought nearer to realization. We beg herewith to supplement in brief thereports which we sent to the members through the mails.

Religious Organization.—The Vaad Horabbonim, or Board of Rabbis, isnow made up of twenty-five of the leading authoritative Rabbis of New YorkCity. A compcehensive plan for the proper regulation of Kashruth andthe elimination of the abuses which now beset us is being worked out.

As one of the preliminary steps in the direction of the proper regulationof Kashruth, we have made an investigation of all the Jewish butchers ofNew York City, and it is expected that most of these will join the variousBoards of Kashruth to be formed in different districts of the city, whichare to be under the supervision of our Vaad Horabbonim.

The Board of Rabbis appoints for every month a different Vaad Habo-rarim, or Committee on Conciliation. Before these committees, many mattersof dispute in Jewish Societies and Congregations, which otherwise wouldhave been brought into court, are taken up for consideration and oftensatisfactorily settled.

We have continued to combat the evil of mushroom synagogues and theholding of religious services in unseemly places. During the last highholidays provisional synagogues under the auspices of the Kehillah wereconducted. We also distributed among needy persons tickets for seats,which we purchased from regularly constituted synagogues. We also madea successful beginning in holding religious services for tbje children of thecrowded districts of the city, and seven synagogues for children were con-ducted during the high holidays in the auditoriums and meeting-rooms ofdifferent Jewish institutions of the city.

We have also dealt with the question of Sabbath observance, but so farhave only succeeded in arousing some Interest in behalf of those Jews whoobserve the Jewish Sabbath and who wish to work or open their places ofbusiness on Sunday.

Education.—In our last report to the American Jewish Committee, weoutlined, In brief, the purposes of the Bureau of Jewish Education of theKehillah, which was then organized. This year's work in the Bureau ofEducation has been a record year. The success that the Bureau has metwith has, of course, partly been due to the fact that there has been for yearsa crying need for such work. It will be impossible to give more than a mereoutline of what the Bureau has been trying to do during the previous year.

The Bureau made a careful study of the most important Jewish religiousschools of New York, both from their financial and their educational aspects.The financial report has been issued under the title, " A Survey of theFinancial Status of the Jewish Religious Schools of New York," and theresults of the educational study will appear in a publication which is now

Page 309: OF ABOUT FOUR THOUSAND YEARS PROF. HE1NRICH GRAETZ'S ... · special aeticles in previous issues of the american jewish year book the alliance israelite univebselle, 5661, pp. 45-65

300 AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK

in press, under the name " A Brief Report of the Thirty-One ConferencesHeld by the Talmud Torah Principals' Association of New York in Con-junction with the Bureau of Education." These publications are to be sentto the members of the American Jewish Committee.

But the Bureau did not stop at mere study of the situation. It tookimmediate steps looking to the systematlzation and standardization ofJewish religious education in New York. The first step we took in thatdirection was to obtain a Text Book Fund in order to produce a uniformseries of text books and literature for the various schools. A loan of tenthousand dollars ($10,000), known as the Text Book Fund, was obtained.But by means of text books alone the standardization could not be broughtabout. The various schools must have a sound financial basis and a goodstaff of teachers and the proper school organization to produce the desiredresults. The Bureau, therefore, has been making- efforts to obtain a largeJewish Education Fund, calculated to bring in, from subscriptions, aboutthree hundred thousand dollars ($300,000) per annum by the end of tenyears. In drder to start the work on a large scale at once, the sum of fiftythousand dollars ($50,000) per annum was needed. This sum is nowpractically assured.

In addition to the attempt to standardize whatever existing schools areripe for standardization, and to help establish new schools particularly insections where there are none, the Bureau has established a Board ofLicense consisting of five examiners, representing the various educationalinstitutions of New York cooperating with the Bureau, for the purposeof issuing temporary teachers' certificates or permanent licenses to thoseteachers qualified for the work. The work of this License Board givespromise of a better future for Jewish education in New York City.

In connection with our educational work, we have considered further thematter of giving public lectures, and have corresponded with Jewish studentsof the colleges and universities of this city, and have helped in the estab-lishment of special educational classes for the Turkish Jews, who formquite a colony on the lower East Side, and who, not knowing either Yiddishor English, could not avail themselves of existing agencies for Americani-zation.

Social and Philanthropic Work.—The Kehillah took action with regardto the catastrophe of the Washington Place fire, in which many Jewishlives were lost. We have considered further the matter of the social evil,and have taken steps to cooperate with all existing agencies to combat thisevil. We have been instrumental in having a number of indigent Jewishchildren transferred from non-Jewish to Jewish institutions. The matterof the treatment of Jews in non-Jewish hospitals having been called to tourattention, we have made an investigation of the complaints, and have alsolooked into the question of securing better chaplain attendance and servicesfor Jews in city and State institutions. The problem of delinquent Jewishgirls formed the subject of some correspondence with the Jewish Protectoryand with other Jewish bodies.

Our Employment Bureau for Handicapped Jews has continued to carryon its good work in cooperation with the United Hebrew Charities and theJewish Protectory and Prisoners' Aid Society. We have cooperated withthe Committee which is endeavoring to extend the work for Jewish deafmutes.

At the suggestion of your Committee, we have taken steps to encouragenaturalization 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 someof our other plans, we are hampered by lack of funds.

To attract greater attention to the work of the different Jewish organiza-tions and philanthropic institutions of this city, and to fill the want for acomprehensive and classified list of all the congregations, societies, andlodges, and the various social agencies of our population, we are nowengaged in preparing a Jewish Communal Directory, which will be Issuedthe first of next year.

This is, in brief, a summary of the leading activities that have engagedour attention since our Convention in February last. We have, in addition,been called upon to take part in various activities concerning the Jewishpopulation, and have rendered assistance in arranging numerous difficultieswhich have arisen. We are a sort of clearing house, directing many Jewsto 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 June10,1911, and held its first Convention on November 5,1911. By itsConstitution, as in the case of the New York Jewish Community,provision is made for its affiliation with the American Jewish Com-mittee. That provision is as follows:

ARTICLE VIII. RELATION TO THE AMERICAN JEWISH COMMITTEE1. The representatives of the American Jewish Committee from the city

of Philadelphia shall be elected by the Executive Council of the Communityfrom among the delegates, in such numbers, and at such times as shall beprovided by the By-Laws of the American Jewish Committee.

2. The American Jewish Committee shall have exclusive jurisdiction overall questions affecting the Jews generally, not of purely local character.

3. The Jewish Community of Philadelphia shall have jurisdiction over allquestions of a local character, or which shall specifically affect the Phila-delphia Community.

4. Any person, who shall have been elected a member of the AmericanJewish Committee, shall continue to complete his term of office in thatCommittee, notwithstanding the fact that he may not have been reelecteda 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 withthe Jewish Publication Society of America in the preparation ofthe AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK. The manuscript for the volumehas been prepared in the office of the Committee, and the Com-mittee has paid the cost of publication in excess of $1500. In viewof the fact that the growth of the Publication Society increased thecost 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 intowith the Publication Society. Under its terms, the Committeeagrees to pay $1000 annually toward the cost of publication, inconsideration of which 500 copies of each issue are placed at itsdisposal. The Publication Society is to continue to publish thework as heretofore.

In the current issue, as you are by this time aware, the leadingarticle deals with the Passport Question. It is a re'sume' of theearly history of the controversy and contains a full account of thecorrespondence of this Committee with the Presidents and Secre-taries of State, most of it now made public for the first time.

With each edition of the YEAR BOOK such changes are made inits contents and arrangement as experience proves advisable. Thisyear, two of the lists, those of American Jewish Bibliography andof Articles of Jewish Interest, have been omitted, as it has beenfound impracticable to make them even approximately complete,and their inclusion would have extended the YEAR BOOK to unduelength. With only these omissions, the usual lists and tables havebeen continued which are of value to all those interested in thecommunal and religious life of our people. The YEAR BOOK is espe-cially valuable to this Committee, as it contains in permanent formthe annual reports of the Committee.

PRESS REPORTS OF RUSSIAN AFFAIRS

On numerous occasions during recent years, attention has beendrawn to the inadequacy of the news respecting Russian affairsin the columns of the daily papers. Important occurrences espe-cially affecting the Jews of Russia have often been ignored, or, ifreported at all, have omitted salient facts. On the other hand, theRussian Government has had little difficulty in having its ownversion of events reported and given wide publicity. Those whoread the Jewish papers published in Europe, notably the LondonJewish Chronicle, have been aware for a long period that noadequate accounts of the fiendish persecutions to which our co-religionists in Russia are subjected ever reach the columns of theAmerican papers.

We have endeavored from time to time to effect a change in thiscondition of affairs, and it is believed that as a result of theseefforts some improvement in the Russian service may be antici-pated. The members of this Committee are in position to assist inbringing about the desired results, if they will, whenever the oppor-tunity arises, confer with the editors of the newspapers in theircities, and request that a more adequate treatment be accorded asubject in which the Jews of this country are so vitally interested.

At the present time steps are being taken to secure news fromRussian newspapers covering a certain period of time for compari-

son with the despatches appearing in the American press, in orderthat the shortcomings of the latter's Russian service may befurther demonstrated.

INCORPORATION

It was considered advisable by your Executive Committee to in-corporate the American Jewish Committee, and steps were takento secure a charter from the Legislature of the State of New York.The act of incorporation of 1911 is published in the current issue ofthe 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 ofthe Executive Committee were divided by lot into three classes asfollows:

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 amend-ments to the By-Laws, which will be presented. The ExecutiveCommittee recommends in addition a further amendment wherebythe process of enlarging the constituency of this Committee, whichhas been steadily increasing since its inception, will be still furtherdeveloped. It is recommended that the following be incorporatedin the By-Laws:

The Executive Committee is authorized to Invite the National JewishFraternal Congress, representing thirteen Jewish Fraternal Orders, toelect three of its members to be members at large in the American JewishCommittee, and the following organizations, to elect one representative eachto be members at large in the American Jewish Committee: The Inde-pendent Order B'nai B'rith, the Board of Delegates of the Union of Amerl-

can Hebrew Congregations, the Union of American Hebrew Congregations,the Union of Orthodox Congregations, the Central Conference of AmericanRabbis, the Union of Orthodox Rabbis, the National Conference of JewishCharities, 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 beamended to provide for twenty members at large instead of ten.

FINANCES

The contributions for the support of the Committee during thepast year, while considerably below the quotas assigned to theseveral districts, have nevertheless enabled the Committee to carryon its work, by the practice of rigid economy.

The quotas assigned are as follows:

Owing to the confidential character of the work of the Committee,especially with respect to the Passport Question, it has not hithertobeen possible to acquaint the public fully with the nature of thework we have engaged in. Accordingly, it was not thought ad-visable to make an appeal for contributions to any large numberof persons. But the change of policy determined on with respectto the Passport Question, removing it from the realm of diplo-matic correspondence to that of public discussion, has enabledyour Committee to make an experiment in appealing to Jews allover the United States for support. Our first attempt was made bycircularizing the members of the Jewish Publication Society ofAmerica, asking them to become annual contributors at one dollareach. The results have been fairly satisfactory, as, out of a mem-bership of the Publication Society of between 7000 and 7500, 1007persons responded by contributing $1340.40. We have thus estab-lished a large contributing annual membership throughout thecountry. A number of persons have generously contributed con-siderable sums in excess of the amount asked for. In view of theresults attained, it may be well to consider the advisability of ex-tending our efforts to persons other than the members of thePublication Society, to aid in procuring the amount requisite tocarry on the work of the Committee during the ensuing year.

REPORT OF AMERICAN JEWISH COMMITTEE 3Q5

RUSSIAThe cruel treatment accorded our brethren in Russia by the

Government shows no diminution in its intensity. Though thespirit of liberalism, upon which such high hopes were based, cannever be entirely crushed out, it has made little effective progressin past years. Under Stolypin the triumph of the methods ofreaction and repression was complete.

As a consequence, the course of events affecting our coreligionistsin Russia is a weary and heartrending chronicle of the breakingup of homes by expulsion from towns in which they have livedoften for decades, of their deprivation of the means of livelihood,of the imposition of galling restrictions upon all means of educa-tion, and of ceaseless interference with the conduct of their owncommunal affairs. Students, professional men, artisans, merchants,all were made to feel the heavy hand of Stolypin. ReactionaryGovernors and administrative officials have seized upon the slight-est pretexts for depriving the Jews of the few rights left to them.

The fiendish " Black Hundreds " carry on campaigns of terrorismand annihilation throughout the provinces, unrestrained by anygovernmental agencies or any regard for law or decency of conduct.

All over the Empire, from the Baltic to the Caucasus, in Siberiaand in Central Asia, cruel and relentless officials are expelling Jewswho settled outside the Pale during the years when the laws werenot so strictly enforced. These unfortunates, leaving behind themthe little property they had been able to amass, have no other re-course than to flock to the congested towns in the Pale, where thepressure has already reached a point beyond human power to bear.

Some understanding of the magnitude and intensity of the relent-less persecution may be gathered by a perusal of the pages of theYEAR BOOK devoted to Russian affairs. The barest recital of eventsfills more than thirty pages, every one of which contains item afteritem of expulsion, of persecution, of restriction, and of repression.This melancholy record can be read only with feelings of horrorand dismay at the ultimate effect of such inhuman.and incessanthounding upon a helpless population.

A ray of hopeful light was momentarily cast upon this darkpicture when, in February last, 166 members of the Duma joined inthe introduction of a bill abolishing the Pale. But these liberal-minded men were only a handful, and could not prevail againstStolypin, whose mandate controlled the subservient majority. Noresult has therefore been attained, and the only apparent effectshave been an increase in the passionate outbursts of anti-Jewishinvective and a strengthening of the forces of persecution.

JEWS OF TRIPOLI

In March, 1911, reports appeared in the American press to theeffect that the Jews of Tripoli were suffering from famine andcholera, and were urgently in need of assistance. A request sent

306 AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK

to the Alliance Israelite Universelle for information as to thisreport brought forth the reply that the matter was receiving at-tention, and the necessary funds were being provided by theAlliance and other organizations of Europe.

JEWS OF GALICIA

In February, 1911, your Committee received an invitation fromthe Jewish Colonization Association (ICA), to send a delegate toa convention of representatives of Jewish organizations. At apreliminary meeting which had been held at Vienna on October 31,1910, the ICA had determined to endeavor to organize an associa-tion for the amelioration of the spiritual and economic condition ofthe Galician Jews, whose situation during recent years has becomemore than ever distressful.

At its meeting on February 19, your Committee determined thatby reason of the great distance which separates us from the seatof the work, and the large and important problems constantlypressing upon the Jews of the United States, it was not feasiblefor us to be represented by a delegate in the new organization, andthis 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 ofaffairs in Washington.

INFORMATION AND STATISTICS

Besides the preparation of the manuscript for the AMERICANJEWISH YEAR BOOK, the routine work of the office of the Committeehas, as heretofore, consisted in the gathering, indexing, and filingof 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 indexcards to 15,194.

This collection has again demonstrated its usefulness duringthe 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. Wool-ner was a member of the Committee from the date of its organiza-tion and cooperated with zeal in furthering its work upon all occa-sions when called upon to render service. Appropriate messagesof condolence were sent to his family at the time of his death.

Discussion on the Passport Question followed. Judge Sulzbergerstated that a delegation of Jewish citizens of Philadelphia hadcalled upon Senator Boies Penrose, of Pennsylvania, and had maderepresentations to him on the subject, and had secured his promiseof hearty cooperation. Senator Lodge, of Massachusetts, had alsobeen approached in a similar manner.

JEWISH PUBLICATION SOCIETY 319

MEETING OP THE TWENTY-FOURTH YEAEThe annual meeting of The Jewish Publication Society of

America was held Sunday evening, May 26, 1912, at Keneseth IsraelTemple, Broad Street, above Columbia Avenue, Philadelphia, Pa.

The President of the Society, Mr. Edwin Wolf, called the meet-ing to order. Mr. I. George Dobsevage, of New York, acted asSecretary of the meeting. The President read his annual address.

PRESIDENT'S ADDRESSLadies and Gentlemen:

We have concluded our twenty-fourth year with the largest membershipin the history of the Society. We have now over ten thousand members.Compared with the preceding year, this means a net increase of thirty-three per cent, or four thousand members. The largest gains were securedin the Central West and in New England. New Hampshire, which hadfive members, now has about twenty times that number, the small Jewishcommunity of Manchester alone supplying eighty members.

An encouraging item is the steady increase of the sales of our publica-tions. In 1902 our total income from sales for the year was $1700 ; in1907 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, thoughby its side we have succeeded in creating a demand for our other books,and are establishing in many homes collections of Jewish books requiring amore than five-foot shelf to hold them.

In all we distributed last year over forty thousand copies of ourpublications.

Gratifying as these results are, we must not fail to take into accountthe heavy cost of publishing our books and bringing them to the attentionof new readers. Last year we spent thirty thousand dollars for themanufacture of our new publications, replenishing our old stock, and forcommissions to agents for securing new members. With the constant in-crease in the cost of production, the problem of meeting this outlay hasbecome grave. In all departments of industrial life the price of commoditieshas risen to meet the increased cost of production and distribution. Arewe not justified in asking our members to face the situation? With thisend in view, I would recommend that, this meeting deliberate upon theadvisability of increasing our annual dues to five dollars.

Our Board of Trustees has decided to start to-night a campaign for theestablishment of a fund sufficient to insure the publication of the BibleTranslation, and to enable us to erect a permanent home for the Society.With proper encouragement we should be able to announce at our twenty-fifth annual meeting, in 1913, that the Society has succeeded in placingitself on a sound financial basis. This would constitute a most fittingcelebration after a quarter of a century of activity in behalf of Judaismand Jewish literature.

The books of the past year have been favorably received by the publicand the press. We shall hear to-night a critical valuation from oneeminently qualified to review them. The publications of the forthcomingyear will consist of a romance of the Egyptian bondage entitled " The Signabove the Door," by Mr. W. W. Canfield. THE AMERICAN JEWISH YEAHBOOK for 5673 will contain an article on the Jew in Agriculture which, ifnot so effective in producing a practical, immediate result as the article

on the Passport Question, will, nevertheless, be of far-reaching value. Thethird book of the year will be a collection of essays from the pen ofProfessor Israel Abrahams, of Cambridge University, England. The lastbook of the year will be the fourth volume of Professor Ginzberg's " Legendsof the Jews."

The Bible editors are now revising the Book of Psalms. Soon they willhave finished the entire revision, and we shall be confronted with theproblem of a ready manuscript, an expectant public, but no funds to pay forpaper, printing, binding, and shipping. I shall not dwell upon the im-portance and timeliness of these matters, as I prefer to hear an expressionof opinion from the members present, to whom the extensive developmentof our work must appeal with especial force.

twenty-fourth year.The Board of Trustees elected the following officers: Treasurer,
