Robinson, General Manager Jewish Agricultural and Industrial Aid society.) (Exclusive Service Charities and the Commons Press Bureau.) A convention of Jewish farmers, one of the most unique among New York's varied conventions, met in that city recently. Its significance is far greater than the mere, state ment of the fact would seem to indi cate It shows, for one. thing, that the number of Jewish farmers In this country Is sufficiently large to make such a convention possible; It shows tha( the Jews have made enough pro gress to view things broadly and to recognize the existence of a commun ity of Interest whether engaged in dairying in old New England or in wheat raising in the distant West. The most Important result accom plished by the convention was the formation of the Federation of Jew ish Fanners of America. First Colony. For * clear understanding of the forces at work that led up to this convention It will be necessary to di gress somewhat and to touch briefly upon what may be termed the mile stones In the history of the agricul tural movement of the Jew in this country. The first movement of this character of any consequence took piace In 1882 and resulted in the founding of the so-called South Jer sey Colonies Alliance, Rosenhayn, and Carmel. The first of these was started under the auspices of the He brew Emigrant Aid society of New York (since passed out of existence) when the Jewish Immigration receiv ed its impetus from the wave of law lessness and persecution that swept ovr the Russian empire in the wake of the Ruwho Turkish war Woodbine Founded. In 1890 that well known philan thropist, the late Baron Maurice de Hlrseh, recognizing the Importance of the early Americanization of the Jewish immigrant and his adaption to his new environment, placed cer tain funds In trust with some of the moHt prominent Jews In Ihe country and llie Baron de ilirsch fund was in corporated to administer them. This new organization assumed the lead ership of the agricultural movement and one of its first acts was the founding of Woodbine, probably the best known Jewish settlement In this country. Three years later the De Hlrseh Agricultural school was estab lished In that .colony. Industrial Aid Society. The agricultural work, however, as sumed such Importance that In order to bring it to s higher state of ef ficiency it was thought advisable to entrust It to a separate organization. The Jewish Agricultural and Indus trial Aid society was therefore Incori porated In 1900, the Baron de Ilirsch fund turning over all agricultural mat ters exoopt the school to the newly or ganized Hoolety and. In conjunction with the Jewish Colonization assocln (ion, settled upon It an nnnual in come for the carrying on of Its work. Many Jewish Farmare. Since the organization of this so clety the number of Jewish farmers he* increased by rapid strides While we have no means of telling their ex act number we have come In touch with over 2.4011 families In thirty-six slntes of ihe Union, comprising ac cording to most conservative esti mates over 12,000 souls. I have no hesitation In stvylng that those figures do not represent fifty per cent of Ihe actual number of Jews engaged In farming in the United States. In the nine years of It* activity the Jewish Agricultural and Industrial Aid so ciety has granted 1,270 loans aggre gating $048,921.54 to 1,211 fanners In twentv-four states "Up-Llft Work." Besides the financial assistance which it renders, a great deal of the work of the society Is of an educa tional nature, or to use * now popular term, "up-llfe work." Affected as he ts by all The ills ihat the general farming population In our country is heir to, the Jewish farmer is in addi tion confronted by problems peculiar ly his own Poorly equipped as to farming knowledge he had no means of acquiring It except through costly experience. The agricultural press, the government publications, and the farmers' Institute* are. owing to his Ignorance of English, of little benefit to him To remove these handicaps, the society started the Jewish Farm er. an agricultural monthly tn Yid dish; established agricultural scholar ships for the farmers' children; nnd appointed an Itinerant agricultural In structor to visit the farmers period- up and down * T staus is hard work for a woman.

The Jewish Farmer. However, orn- of the most impor tant of the educational agencies in augurated by the Jewish Agricultural and Industrial Aid society last ye.ar is the encouragement of the farmers in the various communities to organ ize for the common good—something on which ITesident Roosevelt has laid the greatest stress. Two or three of the oldest and more progressive communities have organizations al ready more or less active. Others made the attempts to organize which proved abortive for the want of a guiding hand The stimulus given by The Jewish Farmer and the itinerant agricultural Instructor was just what was needed, and In the space of a few months about twenty new as sociations were formed. While these associations are primarily agricultur al, aiming at the Improvement of ag ricultural and material conditions, they also readily enter into the so cial, educational and religious lives of their members, thus being a po tent factor In making life on the farm more livable. Interchange Views. With some twenty fairly well di rected associations similar in their alms and ambitions, and with The Jewish Fanner as an Instrument for the interchange of views between them, the desire for personal contact and closer relationship was quite natural and the convention In New York was the outcome. New York was chosen because of its central lo cation and because most of the Jew ish farmers were originally New York ers which gave them an opportunity to visit their old haunts, and, I sus pect, to exult over what they had es caped. It was held in that clearing house of the Jewish immigrant—The Educational Alliance. Convention an Epoch. The convention attracted wide spread attention and the press throughout tho country, hailed it as an "epoch in the history of Israel,” and as “of almost International in terest." The delegates, too, have pro voked general admiration. The Brooklyn Dally Eagle In an editorial had this to say: “If the spirit of the men on the farms Is reflected In the enthusiasm of these delegates, there is no dllet tanteism, and no downheartednoss, among these farmers; no yearning such as has often been attributed to them, to get away from the soil and seek to become merchants. They are proud to be where they are. They wish only to Improve their condition as farmers.”! Deliberations Business-Like. The deliberations of that conven tion were well conducted and thor oughly business-like. The farmers came together for a purpose. They knew what they wanted and how to express their w r anta. The resolutions adopted speak well for the intelligence of the farmers and their representatives. A few of the things they pledged themseive* to work for are co-operation in the buying of supplies and selling prod ucts; establishment of allied indus tries, such as canning and pickling factories, protection of intending farmer* against Imposition and fraud; keeping in touch with the agricul tural colleges and experiment star tlons; raising,i the educational stand ards of the country schools; the in ■taliatlon of a parcels post; and the pusstng of the Davis bill, now before congress. It was also decided to hold an annual fair for the exhibition of the products of Jewish farmers. It is interesting to note that sub stantially the same recommendations are contained in the report of the commission on country life submit ted by President Roosevelt to con gress on February ti)h, nearly a month after this convention. Thus far the only thing accomplish ed by the convention was the forma tion of a national organization—the Federation of Jewish Farmers of America Whether this organization will be able to attain the objeots which called It into existence It t» yet too early to make any forecasts. Some of these will no doubt be car ride through, others probably not. But whether anything else Is accom plished, the fact that the farmers came, together; that they found com mon ground for united effort, and that their views are in consonance with the best thought of the day Is not a bad beginning.

THE AUGUSTA HERALD [[RIAL WAR FLEET SERIOUS PROBLEM England Sees Danger in Repelling An At tack Made in the Air on a Country STUDYING SITUATION Citizens Have Been Asked to Co-operate With De partment in Getting In formation. LONDON. — How to meet an attack by an aerial fleet Is one of the most serious problems facing the British war department, which has at least awakened to a sense of the new dan ger and invited the co-operation of private eltisens interested in aerial navigation. Fortunately, the co-oper ation between the war office and the private ent.nusla»ts promises to be fruitful. Only yesterday at a meetr lng at the Aero Club, a letter was read from Sir Kdward Ward prom ising facilities for the use of their office and land for trials and experi ments of the war office In the dis trict concerned. The club, however, will make flights and experiments this summer on Salisbury Plain and other great open spaces. It may be noted In pass ing that in France facilities have al ready been given the war office for the use of large camping grouads at Chalons and Le Mans. The need, however, for a spread of popular knowledge on the subject of aviation was shown at the meeting of the Hythe town council yesterday, at wnich the mayor stated that a let ter had been received from the Aero Club of Havre, suggesting that the coast towns on both sides of the channel should form a joint commit tee. The club, said the mayor, ap peared to think that within the next year It would be quite an ordinary thing to cross the channel by airship, and that in the near future there would be botn goods and passenger traffic through the air. The club an ticipated difficulties connected with the customs. The mayor observed that the French people were evidently more convinced of the possibilities of aerial locomo tion than the English w*re. He thought tnere was no need to hurry ia the matter. No action was taken' The fact is, that until the commer cial possibilities of a new undertak ing are absolutely brought under the It Is Vitally Important kg VOU You should seriously consider Life Insurance in all its phases; study it from ev ery viewpoint as a meritorious business proposition: - Life Insurance Companies were originally designed, and should be today oper ated for the purpose of self-help through mutual co-operation, and not to aid a few mercenary individuals. This is particularly true of Mutual Life Insurance Companies, in which every member (policy holder) has a voice in the management. In an Insurance Company operated by individual stockholders, the policy holder has no such protection, Ts you would put your money where it will do you and your family most good, and obtain the cheapest insurance, with the greatest possible amount of safety, buy a policy from The STATE MUTUAL LIFE INSURANCE CO. of ROME, GA. It’s unquestioned financial strength, the efficiency and integrity of its manage ment, and the fairness of all policies issued, are amply evidenced by its enormous and ever increasing patronage.
