Profiting by the enforced leisure imposed on land workers by the winter, the Polish Agricultural Service of the Jewish Colonisation Association (Ica) carried through this winter travelling courses in agriculture in several of the Jewish colonies in Poland. In a series of lectures and individual consultations, the agronomists of the Ica have been giving the Jewish farmers the elementary ideas in the chief fields of agriculture, paying particular attention to questions relating to the different methods of cultivation, manures, knowledge of the soil, cattle breeding, etc.
The course of instruction was followed with great interest by the Jewish colonists, who attended the lectures in great numbers.
Speaking generally, the Ica headquarters here state, the Jewish agriculturist is applying himself with intelligence to the task of profiting from the instruction given him and rationalising his work.
