possibilities OF the great irrigation
project in which the government
OF the United States is now en-
gagged are well illustrated by data
gathered in Egypt by Prof. rhos.
NJ. Means, OF the department of
agriculture, who cites the case of
the Abou Kir Company. OF Alex
andria. a corporation which OBJ
tanned from the Egyptian govern
ment the title to a tract of land
regarded as utterly worthless be-
cause OF excess OF water and the
presence of great quantities OF al
kali, which has reclaimed approx
imately $4,000 acres. and whose
dividends have gradually arisen
from 5 per cent to IS per cent per
annum within a period OF few
years. The land cost the com
pany nothing to start with. but the
irrigation and under-drsinage en-
tailed an expense Of from $40 to
s25 per acre. Today the land is
renting for Sa5 per acre per an
mum, and none can be bought out
right for less than 5000 per acre,
the figure at which the last sales
were made.
The tract now undergoing recla.
nation by the Abou Kir Company
contains 3o.oo acres. In the
days OF the Romans it was noted
for the excellent quality OF the
wines made from its grapes and
was one of the most valuable re-
gions in ancient Egypt.
After the Arabian conquest i
was permitted to "go back" to
use the local term, and as a result
became flooded with swamp water.
which lef, deposits Of alkali double
in strength those on the western
lands of the United States, which
the federal government hopes to
reclaim. This case is not an iso-
lated one, according to Prot.
Means. A large portion Of the
territory of Egypt is now under
going reclamation, and it was to
study the methods which have
yielded such remarkable results
that Prof. Means journeyed to
Egypt and spent the hottest
months OF the year inspecting the
irrigation and drainage systems.
In the land OF Goshen. lying be-
tween the Nile and the Red sea,
and famous in biblical history as
the region to which the lsraelites
were assigned by Phsroah. the
Egyptian governmen. is now en-
gagged in a gigantic reclamation
project. Profiting by the exam
pie of enterprising private com.
panies, the authorities have deter.
mined to reclaim an immense area
which has long suffered from lack
of moisture and which was, 1t was
supposed, rendered utterly worth.
less by a canal dug by the engin-
GERS constructing the Suez cana
for the purpose Of supplying fresh
water to the large force Of work
men engaged in that undertaking.
The canal was not carefully con
structed and the seepage was ol
unusual proportions. Reaching
the alkaline deposits which under.
lie the entire area, the wateI
brought them to the surface II
such quantities rs to make the sol
absolutely arid.
The government IS now con
structing two canals at different
attitudes. One will supply fresf
water for irrigation, and the othel
will carry sway the alkali drawn
oa BY the drains. which will bs
plsced about four feet below the
surface and I5o feet apart. During

no crop can be grown. but i'm
menss Quantities of alksii will be
washed out and into the Red sea-
The second year . forage crop can
be raised. and after that the usual
crops OF EgyPt-corn, wheat and
cotton can be grown in great
abundance. In the course OF this
work the surveyors discovered the
well preserved remains OF an irTi-
cation canal. constructed by one
OF the Pharoahs, a description OF
which is to be found in Heroditus.
The officers in charge are now
working on the problem OF restor-
ing portions CT the original sque-
duct for present use
The exceptional success with
which the efforts of the Egyptian
photographic engineers, who. by
the way. are mostly Englishmen,
have been crowned, is the result
OF years of careful and expensive
experimentation. and they cheer
fully furnished to the representa-
tive OF the American government
every facility for prohting by the
knowledge thus attained and avoid
ing the otherwise inevitable mis-
axes.
There are thousands OF acres in
the United States where irrigation
alone will prove sufficient without
the underdrainage necessary in
Egypt, but some areas OF the
greatest value because of their fer
tility and proximity to large mar
.kets will require the dual treat
ment.
The irrigation bill passed at the
last session OF congress provides
for the establishment OF reservoirs
and the construction OF distribut.
ing bitches in sufficient number to
permit Of the use OF the water thus
stored, but there is no provision
made for the underdrainage Of the
more alkaline soils. This will have
to be done by private capital, al
though the bureau OF soils of the
Department OF Agriculture is al
ready making small demonstration
experiments to prove the efficacy
OF the system in various sections o..
the west. In one instance, in tn.
San Joaquin valley, single irri-
cation had, at last reports, remov-
ed fifty-five tons of alkali from q
single acre and the drains were
still running. There are hundreds
of thousands OF acres in this valley
which is reasonable to assure e will
yield to the irrigation underdrain-
age treatment and which will
double and treble in value as soon
as the alkali has been removed.
The application OF this system
will add materially to the area
which will become susceptible of
cultivation as result OF the
Hansbrough Newlands irrigation
bill, and every acre will
add enormously to the aggregate
wealth OF the country, for not only
is the land now saturated with
alkali, most fertile in plant food,
but the possibility of applying
water to the gro wing crops as
needed, in itself greatly increases
the Yield.
Persons familiar with the ground
and the results which have al
ready been accomplished by irri-
CATION in the west, predict that
great fortunes will be made in
many instances in the area to be
irrigated, and, while under the
law this land can be sold only in
small tracts, many interested capi-
talists are already scheming to get
virtual possession Of considerable
areas. The benefit which the
undertaking will confer on the
western states, and incidentally on
the whole country, is incalculable.
