Forty-seventh and Mlumt. were parole for two week, with Ir.s rji t ona that the r lehawor .ojU he viatchrd The remarkable success of Jows as farmers In the Holy Land, frequently mentioned by tourist. Is treated with Instructive detail by nabbl Max J. Mer rltt of Evansvlllo, Ind., in the. American Israelite. Rabbi Merritt Is an Omaha boy, a son of Omaha parents, who mado an extended tour of the near-east, last spring and. summer, and described the country and people In letters to, Ids parents which were published In The Bee. Regarding the agricultural development of Palestine by Jewish colonies Rabbi Merritt "writes ( If only Antlaemltes could ride through Palestine today and see what the Jewish pioneer farmer has done and is doing forth6 restoration of that ancient land, oven they would not rcallzo that there was not even a shadow ot nn excuse for the vicious calumnies they spread.- To me It was Ilko a breath of fresh air to leavo Jersulam behind and to ride Into the open country of tho Holy Land. For tho first time In my life I saw whole settlements of Jewish farmers, Jewish grape growers, Jews trimming the olive and almond tree, Jews In the midst of the leafy bowers of their orange groves. Palestine Is today a living refutation of the lie that the Jew has a djclncllnatlon to till tho "dll. I found ten thousand Jewish colonists living the healthy, happy, Joyous life of freedom In the fields. Our party riding across the land were never in a moment's doubt as to when we were approaching a Jewish colony. The striking difference between the Jewish villages and the native Mohommcdan vil lages could be seen miles off. Only when necessity compelled did wo ride through a native Mohammedan village. The ugly huddled wlndowless stone huts, the debris rotting In the filthy, norrow, crooked street, the filth that these lazy peasants aro too .Indolent to even remove from their own doors, the dirt and foul odors ot those squalid Mohammedan villages were an ugly blot on a fair landscape. And then time and again we woiild top a rise or reach a point of vantage that looked down upon a Jewish farming set tlement and what a gracious difference! The streets were laid qut In long tegu lar lines wJth the neat white stone walls of the houses and the red tile- roofs glistening In the sun. And spread out De fore its were fair fields ot waving gr,ln, dotted hero and there with clumps and groves of, almonds and olives or with heavy masses of giant eucalyptus trees that broke the shadelesa stretches of valley or plain and appealed with Infinite charm to the aesthetic eye. And time and ttkoln from the lips of nrty Christian rei low travelers there broke exclamations of ...-.-.. .nit "nlmlratlon and the praise !nf the Jewish toll and effort that had produced these beauty spots, these nuio oaaes of loveliness in me nemtcwu lengths of the old land, were more grati fying' to me than I can tell. And when we rode through, the cleanliness of the streets and the neatness of the tfell kept yards, did what l not always the cose, especially In the east-Increase tho admiring impression gained at a dis tance. Strutftf le 'of Pioneers. And those beauty spots have not been created without the struggle and hard ship attendant on all pioneer effort It is easy enough for soft-handed antlsemltlo scholars to sit at their desks and fill volumes with calumny about Jews being afraid of hard work and toll. But thoae model Jewish colonies represent over twenty years of strenuous and body-wearing labor. That was necessary to win back thobe fields from the desolate con dition In which neglected fields always are, under Turkish misrule. And not only that! Just as tho settlers who landed on these virgin American shores paid the penalty of their pioneering with tre mendous loss ot life, so the first Jewish farmers who came out to restore the old land met the samp fate. The shrewd Arabs sold them poor land in fever stricken, districts They wero totally un acclimated. These dreamers had stepped put of shops and stores to take up the plow and hoe and the rake. I spent some time In the little agricultural vil'.age ot jylarnh in the pluln of iSliaron, a village of some ."40 Jewish souls, and riding out I passed the eornttery -it iledurali ruw!cd Mill' s mplc white headstones and my oniiiatnon, a son of one of the I dii.I planet r,: pointing to the temetcry SBBBBBsHl&MjVtW Ibbbbbb!bbbbbbbbbhHIIbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbk V - languages, French, German, English.

Into this district The IlnthxchlliU Colony. This life in the open under the bluo kles Is th mother of the splendid qualities that havo always distinguished the farmer folk-courago Independence, self-reliance and resourcefulness. It is also the mother of health and strength nnd vigor. On the last day of Passover I ramo Into the Jewish lllnge of SCam innrln, planted on an evrle height that gives the eye n noble and unbroken sweep cvr the fertile fields of Sharon, a gleam. Ing strip of golden sand that edges the ocean and then beyond the blue watera of the Mediterranean that roll out to blend with the distant horizons. This colony was founded by Baron Rothschild nnd has always been his favorite. Today 150 farmer Jews dwell within Its pleasant bounds nnd tilt thousnnds of acres that surround It Hero I rode among whal and barloy, dura and seinme fields, through lines of tall accada and eucolyp tun trees, through gardens of banana, pomegranate, fig and apricot, through or chards of olive and almonds. through vineyards that wera like a sea of green and down sweot-smolllng aisles ot oranges ahd lemon trees. In this beauty spot it seemed as if everything could grow. But that night I saw tho best product by far that this Jewish colony has produced. T went to the clubhouse which Is a combl nation of clubhouse, town hall, library, nud depository for Important archives. Tho young men and young women, tho boys and girls had gathered from the surrounding farms to celebrate the last day of Passover' with a dance. The dancers -swung to nnd fro under tho smoky light of oil lamps hanging from the celling and to the music of an old battered cornet, the dncors singing the accompaniment In Hebrew as thoy danced. And I will add that hero was the only placo In rty trip half round the world where the tango did not seem to be . tho vogue. What a happy, healthy, sturdy, vigorous, well dressed crowd they were tho boys muscular, brown and straight as a mountain ash, the girls lresh-looklng, ruddy-faced and bright of eye farmer boys and farmer girls that It dia one good to look upon. I challenge tho most vicious and rabid antl-semlto to look upon scenes like these and to repeat the lie that tho Jew has an In grained disinclination to handle the plow, to scatter the seed, to break the sod and to woo and win the treasures of the earth. Visions of the Prophets PnUllled. I am not a Zionist. I do not agree with the despairing voices that tell us that tho Jew can never gain the fullest recognition In othor lands and must go back to Palestine to realtzo his fondest dreams. But as tho pleasant pictures ot those smiling fields and spreading orchards rise again In memory and as I see ngaln the sturdy, healthy, broad chested, large limbed generation grow ing tip upon the sacrwl soil and when I compare those pictures with the som bre scenes in the ghettos ot the world that I have visited, tho Whltechapels and Baker streots, when I think of the cramped nnd stunted life, tho bent and slpoplng narrow-ehested figures, the poor physique, tho, evils physical and moral to which theso dreadfully congested quarters are exposed t raise my voice In unstinted praise of those Jews who have disproved tho charge of the An tlsemltes and who havo shown that It Is possible for Jews not only to enrich the fields of art, science, music, medicine and scholarship, but also ;the broad acres under tho smiling heavens. I glory In the work of these sturdy sons of Israel who have taken once more to the old ancestral Industry and are filling with reality the visions of the prophets who loved to picture the tiller of the soil blessing nnd fructifying the land with tho sweat of his brow.
