Vineland, n. J. This colony was estab
lished amid pine barrens about 1852, and
was conducted largely upon cOmmunistic
basis until $780, when it seemed to be
upon the verge of failure. Then some
money from the Baron Hirsch fund was
made available for the financial rehabil-
itation of the colony. Since that time 1t
has thrived. and today stands out as an
evidence of what the Hebrew may do
when he goes to farming instead of to
merchandising. Some Of them have de-
veloped a new sort of agriculture-sum-
mer boarder agriculture it has been called.
The Hebrew farmer opens his house to
the summer boarder and thus makes his
own market for his products. The Jewish

Everybody knows that the majority
of the immigrants from northwestern
Europe have planted themselves on
the soil-that they came to America
to cast their lot forever with its for
tunes. A large percentage of them
are engaged in farming. More than
half of the Norwegians in America are
on the farm. nearly half of the Swedes
are there. and nearly half of the Danes.
Two-fifths of the Swiss and a third of
grand totals in crop raising, stock
raising, dairying. etc.
Even the new immigration is not
wholly given over to mining and
manufacturing Some of the immi-
grants are going to the land. When
the immigration commission made its
investigation there were some forty
Italian agricultural colonies and COM
munities. And they have been doing
we'll. Whether upon the muck lands
Of New York. the sandy barrens of
New Jersey, the rock strewn hills of
New England or the heavy black
Brazos cotton lands of Texas. they
have been able to make fair living,
and often by working early and late,
with an incredible expenditure of Ia
Dor, to make productive lands upon
which Americans have all but starved.
They thrive best in communities, for
the Italian is pre-eminently a social
being and likes to have close and
sympathetic neighbors we'll as
lands. In industry, thrift. careful at
tention to details, crop yields and other
matters he compares we'll with the
other farmers of his vicinity. His
patience. unfiagging industry and ca
pacity for hard, monotonous labor
make him good farmer.
