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."

THE "ELF.l.ANT FIGHTIFV
J.N the "Klrg.int Kightirs" mrclianizrd music was
in its infancy. But "dining out" was at its peak
with every menu and wine list masterpiece. .
It was to ple.ne the discriminating taste of those
"diners-nut" that the first Italian Swiss Colony wines
were produced in California's sunny Sonoma Valley.
And for sixty years since, the Colony's founders and
their sons after them, have upheld that original stand
ard of excellence.
Today, this 60-yrar tradition finds expression in the
fine body, bnuqurt, and flavor of Colony Spf.ciai.
Wines. Truly superb wines at a popular price. Wines
you can serve with pridt, but without txtrmaganct.
