SHIAH BEEF 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 Two Important Deals Just Closed. Work Starts Now on Seven teen-Story Skyscraper. 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 alono.

Loses in ‘Search and Seizure Law' Appeal Pv A LEIGH, X. C, Dec. 13.—B. H. j Denton, a wealthy liveryman at Tar- ! bon, lost his appeai from a years | sentence to the roads for having sev- j »*i.(i hundred gallons «>f liquor in ills possession, the opinion affirming the Judgment of the lower court coming down this afternoon.

When the bill was offered in Coun cil Wednesday night and voted down, the charge was openly made by Al derman Daniel that he was bucking the machine, while the other side re plied that the ordinance was Intro duced to stop the importation o State-killed beef in the interest of ; local packing house. The allegation was that beef wouk then have to be shipped into Savan nah on the hoof and that the packim company could pay the farmer jus' u hat price it pleased, a practice tha the Aldermen stated the-company ha- been engaged in for several months Dr. Daniel Says City Is Dumping Ground, Introduces Ordinance, and Row Follows, Warrant for Slayer Who Kills With Club DOTHAN, ALA..

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- Something new, solid gold filled pin, hand-engraved; just like print, 50c.
