lfond, chairman of the Economic coun
cil for Palestine. J
"The few months that have passed
Since Sir -Hebert Samuel* organised
the new civil government have done
much to put things _on_n_nound W -

10,000 Jewish Immigrants In the past
year, coming from all parta of the
world, and they are already at wort
bnildlng roads, laying out farms and
organMng the groundwork for devel
opment schemes.
"I find, however, that there are In
the public mind many misapprehen
sions both In regard to the economic
conditions In Palestine and as to what
the Jewish people hope to do there.
I have beard persona talk of the
Palestine of the future as If the Jews
hoped te make It Into another Eng
land, a densely populated state full of
factories, industries, of large cities.
I'do not see how this can erter be. I
have Just returned from a tour of
Palestine and I know that It Is not
n country that will support cities such
as Manchester or Sheffield. Further
more, the Jews do not want such
dtles.
An Agricultural Country,
"Palestine is an agricultural coun
try. It resembles in topography such
Mediterranean lands as 8paln or
Southern Italy. Jhere is no coal, no
iron. Much of it is now waste land
that most he reclaimed by irrigation.
There are now 800,000 parsons in
Palestine. Of this number only 100,
000 are Jews. The country is in a
poor* condition politically and econo
mically. No one can realize, without
going there, what the centuries of
Turkish rule hare meant Thi Turk
ish regime prevented OHJ deOWoptaent
of any worth while industry.
"Furthermore. Palestine suffered
heavily in the war. The Turks Stripped
the country, cut down the orchards,
destroyed the vineyards and burned
the factories. Excessive taxation pre
vented industry of any kind. Now,'
after the war. Palestine is suffering
with the rest Of the world in the
present economic depression. Palestine
is a beautiful country; It can and will
be a rich country. But that wealth
will-come from agriculture. With Irri
gation?and there is both Irrigation fa
cility and water power In the Jordan
?I believe that Palestine can be made

ports barley, oranges, olives, olive oil
and wines.* Therj "are two growing
seasons in the year, and ,the soil when
Irrigated is most productive. Near
Jaffa I saw. 1,000 acres of vineyards
Almonds are grown,there and wonder
ful oranges and grapefruit. The
colonists are Just beginning to devel
op the frutt growing possibilities to
day. hot throughout Palestine one can
see the terraced hillsides that made
the whole country a garden two ?hou
sand years ago. It will not be difficult
te make the country agsrden again.
Cotton Can Be Grown There.:
"Cotton can be* grown In Palestine,
and tobacco is already being grown.
Fu^ermpre there Is a big field for
cigarette manufacture in the ImpbrMr
Hon of nearby Macedonian tobacco. A
conntiy1 with such natuaal assets can
become economically self-sufficient
and1 support a large population. There
were once 8.000,000 In Palestine; I be
lieve that she soon will be able te
support at least 3,000,000.
"Today Jews all over the world are
planning to emigrate to Palespie.
Hundreds of thousands want to/go.
The Zionist organization Is not hav
ing nny difficulty in finding colodfcts;
its difficulty is to check and control
the flood of applicants so that the de

1 helieve that It Is fair to say thaf,al
most all the Jews In parts of Russia

to Palestine. ,

(Prepared by the Hal tad Butaa Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
Of all the cbuDgea wrought in the
farm lug industry .during the last cen
tury none Is more noticeable than that
in fencing, say specialists of the Uni
ted 8tate? Department ofAgrl culture.
All over the Eastern United SUtea
there are hundreds of miles of stone
wall fences whioh are monuments to'
the patience and thoroughness of
earlier generations. Overlapping- this
territory, and extending west, are
found fences' of split rails, wtth their
familiar weeds and berry bushey in
the angles, while sttU farther west,
where there was neither wood nor
stone, are seen osage orange and
other hedges. These are natural pre
ductlona of the time.

horses, or a selected herd of' Cfittle, ,

coming more Into use.
Egda and Corner*.
The manner In which the fence Is
erected has much to do with Its serv
ice. The ends and corners are by far
the most Important elements of u
fence. It is essential that they remain
firm and solid In Order to hold the
fence rigid. The first thing to consider
Is placing the corners. The posts used
should be large enough to give suffi
cient Strength; they should be set deep
enough to prevent heaving by the ac
tion of frost; they should be braced
from each direction of tension by a
stout rail about 1Z feet long. **"
Metal and concrete poets aife on the
market, but a great many fanners ding
to wooden ones. The line posts should
be spprotlmately 4 laches In diameter.

being about 20 feet.
To construct a woven-wtre fence
