JEWS RETURN TO LAND.

mere dGe dl pTeSeut lU,UUU JEWISH
farming families in the United States,
and contrary to the tendency of the
general population, the number of
Jewish farmers is steadily increasing.
About half of them are more or less
under the supervision of the Jewish
Agricultural and Industrial Aid soci-
ETY..
The Hebrew takes up farming as a
great ideal in life, for the ownership
of a little land and living means
much to him after many centuries of
homelessness and wandering. Once
an agricultural people, the Hebrews
have been estranged from the land, for
during the 20 centuries of their life in
exile agriculture and the owning of
real estate were forbidden to them. In
some countries they are forbidden
even today.
According to story in the New
York Herald, Jewish writer who re-
Gently visited a flower show with the
purpose of reporting it for New
York Yiddish paper, was greatly dis
appointed when he attempted to de-
scribe the various flowers he had seen
there, for he could not, for the rea-
son that the Yiddish vocabulary has
no names for even some of the most
common varieties of plants. The peo-
| pie who speak the vernacular had few
| opportunities to study them. So the
newspapers story was never written,
and the beautiful impressions of the
exhibit never found expression. Only
roses and lilies can be called by their
names in Yiddish; the rest are just
flowers, In Hebrew there are names
for nearly every flower that was
known to the prophets, but Yiddish
was cultivated during life in the
Ghetto. And people of the Ghetto
could see green grass and plants only
when they took one of their dead to
| the cemetery.
