1909 Exposición de agricultores judíos de América, foto de la Biblioteca del Congreso
This post includes photos and references on the October 1909 Jewish Federation of Farmers conference and fair in New York City. It was held at the Educational Alliance at the corner of East Broadway and Jefferson. The most popular of the 225 exhibits was the Colegio Agrícola Baron Hirsch in Woodbine, New Jersey exhibit. Over 50,000 people visited that exhibit. Speakers at the conference included the Assistant Secretary of Agriculture, the honorable W.M. Hays.
El Cornell Agricultural College, una de las escuelas agrícolas más importantes de los Estados Unidos, así como la New Haven Experiment Station, el New Jersey College of Agriculture y el Massachusetts Agricultural College, participaron en la exposición. En el 1935 Historia del Fondo Barón de Hirsch, the author called this participation “true public recognition: American universities taking part in an agricultural exposition organized by Russian Jews.” 1
Here is the cover of the Convention brochure from the Jewish Women’s Archives
