Successful Oregon Jewish Farmer Doesn't Like Job By PAUL r. EWING YAMHILL, Ore.. May 20 (The Special News Service) A New York City riiiur manufacturer who became a farmer by acci dent and aiiainst his will found ed one of the Pacific northwest's outstanding Jewish farming families. That wai 28 years ago. but like the captain who hated the sea, Morris Greenhoot still cares but little for the farm. Northwest J e wl s h leaders consider the Grecnhoots the "best established Jewish fnrmcrs In Oregon and the outstanding ones among the few farming in the west." Jewish farmers In the east and midwest are more com mon. Seven miles over a winding market road from Yamhill there is a narrow country lane, twin tracks shaded by close-growing trees and bushes, and a home made sign tacked to a fence post: "Wildwood Turkey Hunch. Grcenlioot's." Down that lane you'll find the Grcenhoots all except Morris, the 72-year-old non conformist, who is visiting in New York. Busy with their plowing, cul tivating green fields, caring for herds of turkeys, doing the hun dreds of things that keep any farmer busy, the Grecnhoots are typical American farmers which muy be one reason their neighbors think them unique. The other reason may be that Morris Greenhoot's five sons jand a daughter, unlike most of ineir gentile friends, find farm life too engrossing to consider leaving it for the city. They arc not married, but when that day comes, each expects to make his home on the ranch. Francis Greenhoot. 37, and the eldest son of the family, left his plowing to squat on his heels in the shady barnyard, roll a cigarette and talk about "my folks." "Wc like farming," he said. "Dad doesn't, much, but he did not want to be a farmer. He re members the years when he was struggling to learn farming and keep his family eating regu larly." Morris Greenhoot. born In New York City, moved with his wife to Portland, Ore., where he continued manufacturing ci gars. He bought the farm for a friend, who failed and turned it back to him 28 years ago. Greenhoot Sr., saw only one way to get out without losing his shirt by moving his fami ly to the country and becoming a farmer. That move established the Wjldwood Turkey ranch and a family of farmers. Mrs. Green hoot died several years ago and her widower takes little part in farm activities, but the- farm goes on. "Our sister, Anna, 26, is the family bookkeeper, treasurer and housekeeper," Francis said. "She handles all finances. Ralph, 25, and Joseph, 23, the youngest boys, arc the turkey men. Ken neth, 31. Edgar, 2tf, and 1 do the regular farm work and earn extra money by working out. "I work in the woods. F.d and Kenneth work in a hawmill. lint we have time enough to do the farming. The home place has 1 7-t acres we've cleared 40 acres of It since we've been here, the rest was cleared before that and we just bought another 1 18U acres across the valley last year. I "A year ago we raised SOOO turkeys and we'll probably have , 500(1 to 8000 this year. We have 1 23 head of cattle, 95 head of I sheep, nine goats, two teams of horses, a few pigs, a tractor, a truck and a car Just like any ' farmer. "Farming is a gamble, though last year wc grossed $17,000 but that isn't saying what wc netted. We didn't go into the red but we didn't have much bluck, cither. Feed prices were high and turkeys were tho low est in years." Still, not a member of the family again excepting Mr. Greenhoot would leave the farm. Anna, pretty and freckled, busy with cookies for a com munity party, paused to remark: "I don't know whether I'd like the city or not. I've never lived there, except to go to school. But I do know I like tho farm." Kenneth, plowing in an adja cent field, stopped his team by the barnyard fence and said, "Sure I like farming. I like to work for myself." Francis summed it up for others of the family: "I don't know anything more sane than staying on the farm. Business is too uncertain. Farming is as good a career as any and we don't have to worry about trying to be shrewd." Farm life for the Grecnhoots is identical with that of their neighbors. They belong to the same lodges, the grange and community clubs, go to the same dances and parties, hunt, fish, go to ball games and just "visit around." They are husky, simple. horny-handed sons of the soil, all intelligent and no better or worse educated than their friends. All have highly develop ed senses of humor and all love the soil. "Except dad," Kenneth, mak ing another round of the field, stopped to remark, "but from what he writes about the noises and confusion of New York, he will love farm life by the time he gets back. "To hear him tell It. he never learned to farm but we're still here."
