“Our Jewish Farmers,” a book dealing with the history of the Jewish farm movement in the United States, written by Gabriel Davidson, director of the Jewish Agricultural Society, was published here yesterday. It reveals the progress of the farm movement among American Jews and the role played by the Jewish Agricultural Society in that movement.
The book contains the story of early Jewish attempts to found farm colonies in this country, which culminated in the present rising community of 100,000 Jewish farmers and agriculturists who are today contributing to the science and economy of American farming, and are producing food for an America at war.
