According to q report by Consul W,
C.. Magelsen at Bagdad. Asiatlc Tur-
key. Sir William wilcocks an engi-
neering and irrigation expert, hopes to
be able TO bring the fertile plains of
Mesopotamia under cultivation, by
means of irrigation. His two principal
projects, the Consul says. are estimated
to cost respectively 100000 900 and sl7,-
100000, but the probable return on the
outlay is estimated at from l6 to 10
per cent
The schemes are said TO be feasible
enough The waters of the Tigrs con-
tain a greater percentage of life giving
silt than the Nile. and no region Is
said to be more favored by nature for
the production or cereals than these
Bagdac is the centre OF the area which
1t is proposed to irrigate.
What Mesopotamia was anciently 1t
might be made again, as regards fer
tiity OF soil. It was at one time the
granary OF the world. The luxurious
fields of grain excited the wonder Of the
Greek travellers and, according to
Herodotus, the soil yielded commonly
two hundred fold and sometimes three
hundred fold When the Chaldeans peo-
Piled the delta Of the Tigris and the Eu-
pirates they constructed vast irriga
ton works. which turned the whole
land into one huge garden. The whole
plain was studded with prosperous and
populous cities.
For the success of the plans OF Sir
William the cooperation of the Turkish
government would seem necessary, and
it is a question whether that can be
obtained. When, however, the Jews re-
turn to Palestine the development OF all
the lands prominent in Bible history
will undoubtedly be the result.
