The kktd uitural possibilities of Pal
estine. and « specially its potentialities
as a source of enrichment of agricul
tural knowledge and agricultural de
veiopment in this country, are pointed
out In an article on Jewish coloniza
tion In Palestine, written by O. F.
(’ook. of the Bureau of Plant Indus
try at Washington, for The Popular
Science Monthly. After telling about
the work of Aaron Aaronsohn. the
young director of the United States
Agricultural Station at Haifa, who
discovered so-called "wild wheat,"
which will grow on arid noils where
present-day wheat could not thrive,
Mr. Cook says:
"Even among t hose who have urged
the colonisation of Palestine for rea
sons of philanthropy and national pa
triotism. there has been a rather tardy
appreciation of the importance of sci
entific exploration and investigation of
agricultural resources there
"There is a special reason why this
agricultural knowledge is likely to be
much more valuable in the United
States than in Europe, for we have in
our Pacific ('oast and Southwestern
States enormous agricultural re
sources still undeveloped under nat
ural conditions that are much more
Asiatic than European.
Need Asia’s Knowledge.
"In other words, we have need to go
back to Asia to get the remainder
of the agricultural plants and agricul
tural knowledge that were not carried
to Northern Europe because the Eu
ropean conditions were unfavorable.
Thus the establishment of colonies In
Palestine by European Jews has had
thr entirely unexpected result of
1 opening the country to agricultural
j • xploratlon in the interest of Amer
ican agriculture.
“The tendency has been to think of
Palestine as a refuge for t*' oppress
ed rather than us an opportunity for
developing a new agricultural civili
zation. But if the colonization move
ment continues it must be only a
question of time when the traditional
idealism of the people will assert It
self In agricultural lines, as It has in
so many other forms of human ac
tivity.
"In spite of all that has been said of |
the devastation of Palestine," contin
ues Mr. Cook, "the country has rich I
possibilities of agricultural develop
ment. The prevailing notion tnat the ]
Promised I.and Is now a hopeless des
ert rests largely on the imi.resslons of
travelers who confine themselves To
the regular tourists' route from Jaffa
up |o Jerusalem, and then down to
Jericho and the Head Sea.
Geographer Shows Ignorance.
"The districts visited on such a trip
give about as correct an idea of the
country ns might be obtained if a vis
itor to Uiis country were to land at
Los Angeles or San Diego, and then
travel over the mountains to Indio
and tl* Salton Hen. Even the most
recent account of Palestine written
by a professional geographer shows *
very inadeouate appreciation of the
factors that determin the agricultural
posslbili*' s of the country.
"Whether any ordinary system of
formal education in schools will have
any pro*leal results in Palestine'
seems ven f doubtful. Some parts of
the country are already overstocked
with different kinds of charitable and

rnltfciouH Institutions, many of them
engaged In educational work, but ap
parently with as little’relation to the
requirements of actual life as similar
Institutions In Kurope and America.
"For effective agricultural education
in a country like Palestine there must
be places where men, young and old,
can acquire correct habits of doing
farm work, became accustomed to the
atmosphere of farm Mfe, and learn
somethin* of Its possibilities. Agri
culture Is a habit and a method of
life, not roVrelv a scienee to be studied
or an art to be pursued for profit

Inspector had broken the seals and

When the bill was offered in Coun

the charge was openly made by Al

SAVANNAH, Dec. 13—The first
real split in the Davant administra
tion is widening to-day, following the
opposition that developed at the
Council meeting Wednesday to Dr. J.
W. Daniel's ordinance to protect the
city from what he termed the "dump
ing ground for all the bad meat in the
South.”
When Alderman Daniel drew up the
bill, he had the support of a majority
of the administration leaders, with
whom he was closely affiliated. The
one point of argument was a section
that would make it necessary for all
meat to be shipped into the city with
the viscera attached, so that the in
spector might determine whether it
was diseased.
Alderman Slater, who is an admin
istration man, is engaged in the meat
business and handles fully 50 per cent
of the beef that comes to Savannah
butchered in the State. He strongly
opposed it and asked that his section
be stricken out.
Instead of so doing, Alderman Dan-

I was badly ruptured while lifting a i
trunk several years ago. Doctors said
my only hope of cure was an operat '«*n.
Trusses did me no good. Finally 1 got
hold of something that quickly ard
completely cured me. Years have passed
and the rupture has never returned, al
though 1 am doing hard work as a car
penter. There was no operation, no
lost time, no trouble. 1 have nothing
to sell, but will give full information
about how you may find a complete
cure without oi*eration, If you write 'o
