The loss of a wheat crop is no
longer SO important to this section.
This was demonstrated asst year by
the Press in it's report of the total
product shipped from Miller, wheat
amount ting to only one-fifth. Again
this year, an almost total failure
does not seem to effect business very
seriously. This may be seen in the
post0ffice business at Miller, which
shows an increased business for the
first three quarters OF 1900 OF $500
over the corresponding period of
1896.

The Canals Of Egypt.

The great system Of canals which
afford fertility to Egypt has been
developed at an expense Of fearful
suffering and labor on the part of its
constructors. Many of the largest
of the canals have been built by un-
paid labor, or what is known as the
corvee. When Mehemet Ali, at the
beginning of the century hegun the
canals which today cut up the coun-
try, corvees of more than 100000
men were seen. drafted from every
part of Egypt, digging the NAH
moudieh canal. At that time the
labor demanded annually by this
despotic power corresponded to the
employment of 10000 iaborers for
four months. The poor "fellahs"
who we're thus driven to onerous
labors, usually received thereby no
benefit to their own lands. The
methods employed in excavating
were the most primitive. The only
tools used were the "lass," a kind
of large hoe and tue "couffin," a
basket woven from the stems of
palms. The corvee was usually di-
vided into diggers and carriers and
children frequently constituted the
latter. The corvee was directed by
none too gentle overseers. In the
digging OF Egypt's canals, the lash
has played an important part.

in the demands Of crops and the
fluctuations in the flow of streams.
This information is needed as basis
for the proper diversion of streams

properly design these structures and
1t is needed by fatmers to promote
the saving of water and thus limit

Measurements should be made

voirs and the part they can be made
to perform in both saving the crops

and making it possible for others to
settle there. Without a definite
knowledge of the variations which
exist between the use of water in

Irrigation in Congress.

While for great many years
there has been much talk of urging
upon Congress the necessity and
importance of retaining the Arid
West through series of internal
Improvement by the government,
there has been but little serious or
concerted effort made in this direc-
tion. Great undertakings arc not
accomplished in single year of
agitation and some of the most ben.
eficial measures ever enacted were
before Congress for long period of
years. But the failure of the gov
ernment thus far to appropriate
money for reservoir construction has
led some men to assert that it is use
less to make any further effort to
induce Congress to render this de-
sired assistance. This is certainly
a very superficial view of the situa-
ton. The records of Congress
show that, until the last two years,
almost nothing has been attempted
in the way of introduction OF bills,
urging the matter before committees
or any other direct work done to ac.
complish the construction of storage
reservoirs. Such claims, therefore,
may be made by some few men
that because Congress has not, dur,
ing the past twenty years. favorably
considered the proposition, and has
not appropriated anything for the
building of storage reservoirs. that
therefore 1t will not be just as we'll
for the West to give up such a use.
less campaign and combine on some
other policy, must be considered as
weak and nerveless view.
