COLONY Of JEWISH
FARMERS PLANNED
Representative Bloom Is
Seeking ST, ,0OO,O 900 to Put
Orphans on Land.

Prediction that the Jew will
eventually assume an important posi-
ton in American agriculture was
made yesterday by Representative
Sol Bloom of New York in announc-
ing plans for million dollar "agri-
cultural colony for graduates Of
orphan homes and similar institu-
tions"
He said the proposal was prompted
by the Successful management last
year of the farm cultivated by the
inmates OF the Hebrew National
Orphan Asylum in Yonkers, and al
though meant primarily for gradu-
ates of Jewish institutions. the farm
colony would admit every one with
out regard to religion, nationality or
race"
The colony would be worked on a
cooperative basis and Mr.. Bloom is
seeking to raise $1.000,000 through
the issuance of bonds secured by
ownership Of parcels of a 1,0OO-acre
tract to be acquired.
''It is the aim Of the organizers to
urge young men leaving the institu-
tions to Join the colony and locate on
the farm" he said when they be-
come skilled agriculturists. they will
be given a share in the profits.
There is general belief which has
gained ground among an astounding
number of people that the Jew is in
terested only in business and is not
fit for agricultural work. Jewish ag-
ricultural activities within the last
rs years afford ample proof that the
belief is wrong. There is not a State
in the Union that has not few Jew
ish farmers"
He estimated there were $4,000 Jews
cultivating one million acres in the
United States and that this group was

MAY CLOSE

A definite decision as to whether
or not the new James +. Oyster
School, on Calvert Street west Of
Connecticut Avenue Northwest, will
have to be closed temporarily be.
cause of unsanitary Surroundings
will be reached by school officials
this afternoon.
Another inspection OF the school
Is to be made this afternoon by
school authorities, including As
sistant Superintendent Haycock and
possibly Superintendent Frank w.
Ballou.
If they decide that the mud and
water around the school is danger
Gus to the health of the pupils the
school will be closed at once.
The favorable weather of the past
two or three days, however, is be-
lieved to have improved the situa.
ton considerably, and 1t is not con-
sidered quite SO likely that the
school will be closed as 1t was
Saturday.
The greatest trouble today Is that
the street in front OF the school is
being repaved and steam shovel
is working directly in front of the
building, not only making street
crossing dangerous and muddy, but
also making concentration in the
school building difficult.
If the closing OF the school should
be only for a few days. the chill
dren will probably not be trans
ferred to another school, because
the nearest is the John Eaton
School in Cleveland Park, which Is
already overcrowded.
There is little chance OF any of
the other schools which are sur
rounded by mud being closed. school
authorities declared today. The
most serious conditions are in the
neighborhood Of the new Barnard
and Truesdell schools, but in each
of these cases temporary board
walks are to be placed.
