PALESTINE.
Many Ways In Which II Strikfnsly
Resembles California,


Resembles California.
Palestine is more like the state Of
California than any other in the Union
In everything except size. 1t lies be-
tween longitude "a degrees 80 minutes
and SO degrees 30 minutes east and
between latitude 80 degrees 30 min
utes and 33 degrees 45 minutes north.
1t is practically n California reduced
to about one-twentieth in size, but
markedly similar I'm general topogra-
ply, climate, vegetation and agricul-
tural and economic possibilities.
Like California, Palestine Is longest
from north to south. Like California,
too, 1t has both very high mountains,
having an elevation of 5000 to 10000
feet, and very deep depressions. The
Dead sea, 200 feet below sea levei,
Is the greatest depression known, and,
like the Death valley Of California, 1t
is situated In the southern extremity
or the country.
In Palestine, just as In California. we
have dry, warm season and humid
and more temperate one. The rainy
season extends from October to May
and the dry season from May to Oc-
tober.
Palestine is even more vorad than
California with regard " the winter
! temperature. Although the thermome-
4 ter rises as high I'm summer I'm Pales-
tine as I'm California, with extremes of
11O degrees to 115 degrees f., though
not so often. it very rarely drops In
the winter to the freezing point. Snow
Is rare, even on the plateaus, and our
farmers are practically safe from any
damage by frost over nearly the entire
extent Of the country.-From Aaron
Aaronsohn's Agricultural and Botani-
cal Explorations In Palestine"
