as crop at all, as rice fields have

of Egyptian agriculture. The sugar
and cotton fields all told, cover a
million and half acres, and they take
up only about One-fourth of the till
able land. There is twice as much
farming country devoted to grain;
the wheat and barley fields cover one
and three-quarter million acres and
there are more than million in
corn. There are something like half
a million acres in millet and sorghum.
The delta raises almost all the cotton
and most of the sugar. Central and
upper Egypt are grain countries,
though in central Egypt Indian and
Kaffir corn are the chief summer
crops. Kaff1r corn is, to a large ex-

The American people do not eat as
much rice as they should. 1t is the
most nourishing of the grains, is cas-
lily prepared in many ways and the ex-
perience of the Asiatics, among whom
it is the principal food, has shown
how valuable it is as a diet in pro-
ducing strong, healthy men, capable
of the greatest labor and endurance.
Now that Texas and Louisiana have
become large producers of rice and
the territory for it's production is con-
stantly charging, patriotism alone
would suggest that Our own people
should furnish more consumers for
this nutritious edible. Go to Chinese
