under cultivation. 1t will afford
an ample supply of water at all
times. The construction Of this
dam was a wonderful feat OF en-
gineering. The plans were drawn
by an American. The dam is one
and one fourth miles long and
has a dummy car track on It.
This dam is one of the many i'm
provements which England has
given Egypt, and will prove OF
estlmable value 10 the country.
a griculture is the main source Of
Egypt's wealth and it is the chief
occupation Of most of the people,
If England can secure the adop-
ton OF modern methods and in
fuse new life into the farmers,
Egypt will again take a place
among the great nations of the
world.
PLANT SEED IN THE MUD OF THE
RIVER.
The crops of Egypt are divided
into winter and summer crops
The winter crops are sOwn imme
diately after the subsidence of
the inundation. In southern
Egypt seed time begins the mid
die of October; in the central
part of The valley il begins the
first Of November, and in the
delta il begins late in December
The subsistence of the Nile be
GINS from south to north and
cau,es the different seasons for
sowing. Rarely ever is the
ground plowed or prepared for
the seed. The planter wades
about and scatters the seed over
the wet ground, and then wood
EN- roller is run over it. About
four months then elapse before
harvest. The wheat is cut with
sickle, carried on camel to a
hard place on the ground, there
spread out, and then the grain is
trodden out by oxen or buflaloes
which are driven over il. The
straw is then tossed up in the
air with wooden forks and the
wind blows away the chaff. The
wheat is carried to the village
and put In mud granary but
little larger than a barrel.
The principal winter crops of
Egypt are wheat, barley, clover,
and beans for stock) These and
kindred crops require very little
work. The summer crops are
planted in March and April and
are gathered in the autumn. a
none the principal summer crop,
are cotton, flax, hemp, rice and
sugar cane. They also grow vast
quantities OF melons, onions,
cucum bers, cabbage and other
vegetables. The growing of to-
bacco is prohibited, iii order to
raise revenue from the imports
OF tobacco. In upper Egypt the
chief crop is sugar cane, and
sugar factories are very nlmer-
Gus. The cane is cut and sold in
the stalk 10 the nearby manulac-
turers. From the factories small

not there would be very little OF
it done by the present tillers OF
the soil. The crops virtually
make themselves. The people
are very indolent, but they are
not wholly to blame for it. There
is something in the sunshine
which makes one crave ease aud
dislike exertion. But no land on
earth is more suitable for lazy
man. The soil is so fertile that
he can get his food with but lit
tie effort, and the climate is so
warm that he can dispense with
clothing. These favors of soil and
climate the native farmer enjoys
to an uncommon extent. He
usually works in the field divest
ed of everything in the way OF
clothing. In the remote villages
the children of the peasants go
stark naked even in the winter.
In such a condition they chase
the tourists for back heesh, and
will not let up until they get
some monay.
While Egypt has over 455,0OO
square miles of territory, the cuI-
tivatabte pant is less than $4,000
square miles. Practically, Egypt
is the Nile valley which is walled
in by the two mountain ranges
through which the river flows
The Lybian desert is on the west
and the Arabian desert on the
east, and the length Of the valley
is about $50 miles, with a breadth
varying from six to fifteen miles
until the delta is reached, and
then the river forks and The val
ley gradually widens out as the
branches of the river approach
the sea. The soil in this valley
is exceedingly fertile, and his
fertility is renewed every year by
the annual overflow, which is
caused by the heavy rains near
the Equator and by the melting
of the SHOWS on the mountains Of
Abyssinia. But much of this rich
land would be utterly worthless
il it could not be wa'ered by irri-
cation. 1t does not rain here in
the summer and the Nile must
supply the wafer tor the crops. -
Canals branch out from the Nile
and carry the water into all parts
of the country. Irrigation l.
effected by different methods. -
The principal one is the water
wheel, which is turned by a but
falo, camel or cow blindfolded.-
The wheel is fitted with scoops
OF wood or clay. The buckets or
jars on the wheel pour the wa er
into a trough, from which it runs
into the field The poorer larm-
ers use a bucket on the end OF a
long pole, and the pole work on
cross piece resting on two mud
posts. The man stands in the
water naked and works this crude
contriVance. An Archimedean
screw, said TO be an American
invention, is also used by lew
in lower Egypt. 1t is an inclined
augershaped pump and is operat-

we'll as kept in the market. The
natives can make square meal

SOUTH MAY HAVE NO FEARS OF
EGYPTIAN COTTON.
The cotton crop requires work.
Hence there is very little dan
ger of increasing the acreage.
The cotton growers of the South
need have no Tears about Egyprs
cotton crop. Certainly not until
different population moves in.
The lard is broken up with a
clumsy thing which they call a
plow. 1t is just like the pictures
OF plows which saw in the roy
al tombs at Thebes and, conse-
quently, is the same kind used
more than a 900 years ago. Their
other instruments of husbandry
are on par with the plows After
the seed are in the ground wa
tering the land is the main labor.
This is a pretty big task and
must not be neglected. A COW or
buffalo, sometimes camel, does
this work in most cases. No far
mer plants much cotton, just in
patches here and there. An acre
in cotton is pretty big crop for
one farmer. They plant it too
thick in very many instances.
When The cotton opens they pick
it, sack it and sell in the seed.
The cotton buyers ship it to the
gins in the same sacks. Gins are
scarce. The cotton stalks are cut
and sold for fuel. The stalks are
carried to market on camels, and
one camel can catry the stalks
from nearly an acre OF land.
Cotton was unknown in Egypt
before 1920. Its cultivation was
not seriously undertaken until
about 1868. Now the value Of
the cotton exported is about
100000, 600 per year. The bulk
of it goes to England. Very little
cotton is manufactured in Egypt.
They could grow many times
more cotton than they do, but it
is not likely TO be done for years
yet to come.
HIGH PRICED LAND AND COMMENTED
FARMERS.
If an Egyptian owns a few
acres he is we'll to do. Land
rents from $40 to $50 per acre,
or for one-half. The land owner
pays the government So per acre
as taxes. Land near Cairo sells
from 81 900 10 $4,000 per acre
The price varies according to
location and level above the
river. OF course, it is cheaper
far from the cities and on the
edge of the desert. There is con.
siderable dealing in real estate
going on just now.
The Egyptian farmer is the
most contented man In the world.
He does not wish 10 accumu

his methods or habits. He still
