Palestine Is now engaged in minister
ing to the material needs OF this country.
There has just passed through Washing
ton. on his way to the dry-farminS con-
greSS at Alberta. Aaron AarOnhSon, the
head of the agricultural experiment sta
ton of Palestine. He visited the De-
partment of Agriculture, with which he is
q regular correspondent. and before re-
turning to the middle east will go over
the agricultural experiment stations OF
California and Arizona to get more in
touch with local conditions preparatory
TO sending TO this country more agricul-
tural specimens that Will reduce the
desert area of the great plains region.
In speaking of the work of the Pales-
tine station Mr.. Aaronhson said:.
We are doing what l consider a Very
important work in our region Palestine
is the parent country of nearly al the
cultivated cereals and many of the fruits
and other plants of the rest of the world.
1t is a small country and the natives as
a rule are very poor. Irrigation is neceS-
Sary TO cultivated farming. but there are
no big government irrigation WORKS as in
this country.

Find Resistant Plants.

However. in the country and mountain
region, where the climate and soil condi-
tons are very hard, we find many val
liable drought resistant and disease resist
ant plants and fruits that by modern
methods of breeding can be made most
valuable in other paris of the world.
We esta bl.sned the main experiment
station In PdIeSI.ne less than three years
ago. IT is at the loot of Mount Carmel,
near the coast. IT is rather lareer tnan
most agricultural experiment stations;
having 1JO acres. We nave Otner and
smaller stations scattered throughout the
country. nut the force or investigators is
small, because IL requires a rather rare
combination of qualities TO n.ake the man

ana then there are the dirncul,Ies OF Ian
guaSe, ana the living conditions and sur
roundings are necessarily pr.mi,Ive.
AT the same time We nave made graft
Tying progress. We have already accom-
plished some things IN the way of plant
breeding and producing new and valuable
strains that European scientists thought
at the start would require at least five
years to do We have been helped very
greatly by the United States, where the
Department of Agriculture is carrying on
valuable agricultural work, and when a
sample or method Is sent us py Your de-
partment We know that we can accept IL

Pleased With Progress.

In fact. 1 am very pleased with the
progress we have made. There is one
region in Germany where for years they
were losing millions of dollars annually
through wheat rust. We have been able
10 grow a strain of good producing wheat
that is thoroughly rust resistant.
We have been able to do a good deal
IN q material way, too, for American
agricultural machinery. or course the
natives are mostly very poor and unable
10 buy the best modern Implements but
you would be surprised to see when We
started the primitive plOws that were i'm
general use. They We're the same iden-
tically that were in use in ancient Egypt.
In fact. with some modern cultivators We
are able to do fifteen acres a day. where
by the old methods they could do but
two. Even that is not as bad as when
IL comes to thrashing- The regular ma
tive method has always been to thrash
by driving animals in a circle over the
thrashing floor The hand winnowing
followed. and il used to take the whole
of the three dry months to thrash a
crop. With machinery we can do it in
one afternoon.

In return We are in constant COM

have been able to send this country some
valuable things. Since 1 have been here
1 have heard that some wild pear stock

successfully in the ga dens of the De-
partment at Chico. Cal. 1t was a wild

1t has been grown in the United States
1t can be used for grating vaiuab.e va
