The Jewish colonists of Quatro Irmaos who have participated in the Exhibition organised by the Government of Port Alegro, have received a number of awards showing how advanced these Jewish agriculturists are in the quality of their products. 21 Ica colonists have received prizec, and the Government commissions expressed by a special award their satisfaction with three of these colonists, who have each been given an agricultural machine, says a report from Brazil received at the Ica head office here.
High officials of the State have expressed to the local management of the Ica their admiration of the great work carried out in Brazil by the Ica, and declare that this work unquestionably contributes to the economic and agricultural progress of the State of Rio Grande do Sul, where the Jewish colonies are situated.
The Minister of Agriculture, desiring to express his confidence in the work of the Ica, has promised his collaboration in the establishment of a cattle station for the breeding and selection of cattle, and also in the acquisition of a piece of land for an agricultural experimental station at Quatro Irmaos.
The Minister of Agriculture for the State and the Inspector of Immigration are both greatly interested in the work of colonisation carried on by the Ica and have promised to pay an early visit to the Ica colonies.
The Federation of Co-operative Societies of Argentine, to which the Co-operative Societies of the Ica Colonists are affiliated, intends constructing several grain elevators in the province of Entre-Rios, to eliminate all intermediaries between producer and consumer, leaving the colonist all the benefit of his work. The Fondo Communal, a co-operative society of Jewish colonists of Entre-Rio, has installed the first elevator in the province at Domingo, in the heart of the Ica colonies. The representatives of the national and provincial authorities attended the ceremony and speeches were delivered by the representative of the Minister of Agriculture, the Director of Agriculture of the province of Entre-Rio, the Director of the Railways of Entre-Rios, the President of the Co-operative Association of Argentine, and others.
