Overview

Excerpt from Palestine Exploration Fund: Quarterly Statement for 1879 The headquarters would be fixed in the healthier hill villages, but the uncultivated districts in the plains would gradually be taken in; the ancient system of drainage which carried the streams through the low rock-wall west Of the plain of Sharon, would be repaired, and thus the stagnating water would run into the sea again and the marshes would be reclaimed. Quick growing grass would check the encroachment of the sand dunes on the coast, and as there is no frost in the plains the blue gum tree (eucalyptus Globulus) with other fast growing trees would be planted, and must materially affect the climate in time. As the colonisation spread to the higher hills, where frosts occur, the old vine cultivation would be revived, Beth Laman and Beth Rima might again be famous for their wine, Tekoa and Netophah for their olives, Michmash for its wheat, and Jericho for its palms.
