Progress in the distribution of machinery to Jewish settlers, paid for by their relatives in America, is reported by the Ort, the society for encouraging trade and agriculture. Some orders have had to be suspended, however, due to misunderstanding on the parts of applicants who ask for the machines priced at $550, while their relatives are willing to supply only $200.
