The oldest Jewish farm settlers in this country, the surviving pioneers who founded the South Jersey colonies 60 years ago, together with refugees from Germany who took up farming in the same vicinity a couple of years ago, turned out here today to celebrate sixty years of Jewish agriculture in America.
The contributions made by the early settlers to the development of Jewish agriculture in the United States and to American agriculture in general were reviewed by Benjamin C. Stone, editor of the Jewish Farmer. After discussion of the post-war prospects of Jewish farmers, a film depicting Jewish farm life in the United States was shown.
