17,500,000 Acres
of Land Since War

JERUSALEM—In the two years
since the Six-Day War, the Jewish
National Fund has reclaimed 70,-
000 dunams (17.500 acres) of land
for agricultural settlement, the
fund's chairman, Jacob Tsur, an- '
nounced at a press conference.
First priority was the develop-
ment of areas previously part of
Israel but which could not he
worked because of border ten-
sions. Other development targets
were the Golan Heights. where
10,000 acres have been prepared
for settlement. and the Arava.
Some 3.750 acres were added to
115 existing settlements. For ac-
cess to new areas, 149 miles of
roads were opened.
Discussing some of the prob-
lems involved in land reclama-
tion. Tsur emphasized that costs
run anywhere between 300 pounds
($87) to L200 pounds ($348) per
Dunam and over with land drop-
ping as much as two meters once
rocks are removed.
For certain settlements, parti-
cularly in the Arava, soil has to
be brought in from other areas
since local earth is unsuitable for
cultivation. To remedy drainage
problems which prevented culti-
vation in some of the most fertile
sites on the Golan Heights, JNF
constructed an artificial lake in
the vicinity of the Ein Zivan set-
tlement. and several others are be-
ing planned.
During the same period, 10,-
000,000 trees were added. Tsur
recalled that 1969 marks the
jubilee of JNF afforestation in
Israel. with the total number of
trees nearing 100,000,000. Sixty
forest picnic areas have been es-
tablished which, during the past
year alone, were visited by
more than 200,000 persons. JNF
assumed supervision of affores-
tation projects in the administer-
ed areas of Judea, Samaria,
Gaza and Northern Sinai, where
over 5,000.000 trees have been
planted since June 1967.
Tsur stressed the role of affor-
estation in furthering the govern-
ment's employment policy. During
the 1966-67 recession, JNF em-
ployed 6.000 daily workers in its
forests. Today with almost full ,
employment. this number has been
substantially reduced.
The JNF budget for the current
year is 63.000.000 pounds ($18.-
470,000) and is covered by contri-
butions from 49 countries and the
Fund's property income in Israel.
