of Canada For threshing machines and steam blows Palestine is a virgin field At present there are none here The British authorities, however, look with favor on their introduction, especially along the coastal plain. where they could be purchased by villages or by some of the more important families which oper- ate large estates.
 It is hoped soon to have a model farm running, which will serve as an example of the methods which the British are try ing to introduce here. For this purpose the former German colony of Wilhelma, near Lud, mad be taken over. This com
 pines as many different kinds of soil as the authorities can hope to combine
 in one piece of land. Here fruits, cereals
 silkworms, bees and poultry are to be
 raised.
 The next most important work now un-
 der way is being done by the veterinary
 men of O. E. T. A. A quarantine is
 being maintained on all animals coming into Palestine from Egypt and from easr
 of the Jordan, in an effort to preserve
 the few animals which are left in the country. Veterinary infirmaries are be-
 ing established at all the big cenrers, and cattle, mules, donkeys, horses and camels are being treated.
 An interesting feature of the agrcul- turallwork of the British so far has been the planned introduction of the nettle into Palestine as a substitute for cotton. The ordinary European nettle is used, and if the plants are close together so that they are forced to grow long stems, it has been found that they yield an ex- celent fibre white and strong.
 Either freshly cut or dried nettles may be used to obtain the fibre. In the latter l case they are softened by being soaked in water for two hours and are then broken by being pounded. According to the procedure in Germany, where nettles were used largely as a war substitute, the rind of the stem which has swollen
 and loosened in the soaking, is then taken off The soaking also reduces the danger of the fiber's powdering and makes the plant yield at once a spinnable fiber. Copyright, 1919, by Edward Marshall)

The sum of s2, 100000 has been set aside to be dis bursed through the Anglo-Egyptian bank in Palestine to native farmers whose ap- plication for money to develop their land has received the approval of the local military governor. These loans are pay able in from one to three years and bear interest at the rate of 6z per cent Tn } authorities have been flooded with ap- plications for loans of money as we'll as for animals. There is a great shortage of farm animals and machinery through out Palestine, and much of the agricul- tural possibilities of the country must wait on the shortage being made good. AS much as is possible is being done to relieve the shortage. Over 800 army anil mals have been sold, and army engines and pumps are being let out to owners of irrigation rights, particularly in the famous orange groves around Jaffa.

 It is a poor affair, which any donkey or OK can easily pull The crops obtained by using this blow are as poor as the instrument itself. In the neighborhood of the Jewish colonies, however. a more modern blow is used, the Arabs being quick to take up such modern implements as are made available to them At pres ent small modern blow to be pulled by one horse and a larger blow for use with team is badly needed in Pales- tine.

Palestine Again to Be
 Land Of Milk and Honey To Restore Fertility of Soil and Introduce Modern Farm ing Methods-Create Forest Reserve and Launch Campaign of Agriculture Education-$2- 5OO000 for Farm Loans

Jerusalem. September 22.-One of the most important tasks which the British have undertaken in their administration of Palestine is the awakening of Pales- tines population to the industrial possi- bilities of the country. If the near east can be shaken out of it's traditional lethargy. it is possible that British ad- ministration will duplicate in Palestine the miracles it has worked in Egypt. The same possibilities are present in Mesopotamia, which under British rule bids fair to become a tropical Canada Bagdad may again take it's place as one of the worlds industrial centers.
 At present of the 16,S09, 400 dunams of Hand (5S35, square miles) which make up Palestine proper, 994S,7O0 dunams 2oS5 square miles) are arabic. Large irriga- tbon works in the Jordan valley would materially increase this area, but it is now too early to describe the extent of the works necessary or the area they would reclaim. No survey has yet been made and so large is the scheme neces- sary to make the upper reaches of the Jordan valley arabic and healthful that the survey. when begun, will require a couple of years for it's completion. It will be commenced doubtless as soon as the peace conference has assigned a per manent authority to administer Pales- tine.
 Of the 700 dunams of arable land in Palestine s,697,oS2 durau1s q252 square miles) are now under cultivation. Alp proxmately 2eo square miles of this area is being cultivated by the modern meth ods of the Jewish colonists. The remain der is under Arab cultivation.
 So complete was the decay of agricul- ture in Palestine under Turkish admin istration that not even this amount of land could be said to be under cultiva- ton were it not for the hardihood of the olive tree The olive is truly the king of trees. Ii endures neglect and improper treatment for years without permanent harm Due to the threefold taxation which the Turks placed on olive orchards the land, tree and produce-tithe taxes the olive industry in Palestine is now thoroughly decadent. Even in its pres ent condition, however, the average yield Ter year is POGO tons of oil, more than half of which goes into the manufacture of soap for local consumption.
