Show Clarion Commended For Thrift by Dr. Landman. Advice from Philadelphia under date of March 29 states: "We have achieved In three years with approximately $100,000 what has been accomplished in no other colonization scheme in the same time and with the same means," declares Rabbi Isaac Landman of this city in his report of the Utah Jewish farm colony. Dr. Landman's report is published pub-lished as a result of the recent visit here of Governor Spry of Utah. "We are proving the phenominal fact," the report continues, "that Jews from crowded eastern cities are not only anxious to farm but that colonization of Jewish farmers on irrigated ir-rigated land can be made successful. Eighty-three Jews have gone to Clarion, Clar-ion, Utah, as settlers and oniy fourteen four-teen have given up agriculture. Recent Re-cent statistics gathered in the west dealing with other back-to-land move-m move-m ents show only 10 per cent city people peo-ple taking up farming and 90 per cent returning to city employment. "We need more cows and chickens and a larger water system and $7,500 subscriptions must be had to obtain these," said Dr. Landman. |
