These doubters overlook the Jews power of adaptation. Driven from pillar to post. unable. like the dove which Noah sent forth from the ark. to find a resting place for the soles of their feet. ever faced with the necessity of rapid. ofttimes violent. change. the Jew has developed that facility for adaptation which enables him to fit himself into new conditions. It is that power of adjustment which stands the immigrant Jew in good stead when he emerges as an American farmer. To those who harbor misgivings as to the aptitude of the Jew for farming. I frankly admit that there are some failures.
