"Have I Got a Christmas for You" conveyed a mes- sage of interfaith under- standing. It was inspired by the temple brotherhoods' Christmas Mitzva program in which their members substitute for Christians in their jobs so they can spend Christmas Eve with their families.

Under the sheets of clear polyethelene which cover the fields in this water-rich oasis town is a startling array of tomatoes, cucum- bers and eggplants. These vegetables find their way to tables in Israel, Judea, Samaria and even to Arab countries across the Jordan River. Tlry have made Achmad Nammari, if not a wealthy man, at least a very com- fortable one. As a successful vegeta- ble grower, Nammari is typical of a new breed of Arab farmer in Judea and Samaria on the West Bank of the Jordan River, who have taken advantage of the latest farming skills made av- ailable to them since 1967 when the Israelis took over.

PILLOW- CO. i Friday, June 30, 1918 33 • Paul G. Kohn and an ever growing eager- ness to work together with Israel experts that has caused the agricultural output of the administered territories to increase an amazing 500 percent since 1967. A network of district ag- ricultural offices with 15 Is- raeli instructors has been set up. Six hundred local re- sidents received specialized training and together with the Israelis run operations in the six subdistricts of the region. At every district of- fice, veterinary services, training facilities and a chain of experimental sta- tions have been added. The efforts invested in agriculture in the West Bank have clearly borne fruit. The average annual wage has been pushed from $900 to more than $4,000. "Now we plug the televi- sion into a wall socket and not into the tractor bat- tery," says Nammari, re- porting on how his life as a farmer has improved dramatically in the past several years. He is eager to show off the small, used generator, which chugs rhythmically in a deserted chicken coop behind the house. The recently purch- ased generator, which gives enough electricity for lights, the television and a refrigerator, is Nammari's first luxury purchase, he points out fully deposited near the roots of the plants through tiny holes in special hoses which lie in rows alongside the seedlings. The water goes directly into the soil, saving almost 40 percent which would be lost trough evaporation in conventional methods of irrigation. Along with new fertilizers the trickle system began to give an impressive increase in yield. Soon after, polyethelene coverings came to Nammari's farm, which by then had grown from two to 35 acres. Strips of plastic placed directly on the earth kept in the moisture; black plastic served a double purpose by keeping out weeds. Today, the Nammari ily farmhouse is surrounded by miles of plastic hothouse tubes standing two to three feet in height; they keep in the moisture and keep out the harsh winter cold at night, which is typical of the strange climate in Jericho, the lowest point on earth. Life most certainly is not yet a complete paradise for Achmad Nammari. He still has political disagreements with the Israelis, but Nam- mari has found a practical road of cooperation with his Jewish neighbors.
