A demand that the Palestine Government make every effort to facilitate the importation of agricultural machinery and fertilizers as well as take measures to rehabilitate the citrus growing industry was made here today by a delegation of the Jewish Farmers Association, which called on High Commissioner Sir Alan Cunningham.
In presenting their plea, the farmers pointed out that, with the application of modern scientific agricultural methods, they had increased the yield of Palestine land three-fold and were at present producing two-thirds of the country’s food requirements. High Commissioner Sir Alan promised speedy and effective assistance.
