BIG DAM ACROSS THE NILE.
R. C. MANN, Propriel

The greater Assoun dam, which will store twice as much water as the first section, which was completed in 1902. is now finished. It will furnish enough water from the Nile, the Bon- don Times states. to do away with the system of basin irrigation, in use for thousands of years, and the fertile fields of Egypt can now be cultivated all the year around, says the Balti- more Sun. The original dam, which cost about $12,50O.0O0. provided a storage capacity of 9S4,OO0,0O0 cubic meters of water, the present structure for about 2,0O0,0OO,O00. Ninety years ago the Egyptian government took the first steps for greater water sup, ply, but it was not until 1889 that the British engineers. headed by William Wilicocks, brought forth the solution by proposing to dan the Nile at As souan. The project was too ambitious to secure financial support until Sir Ernest Cassel, in 1898, provided the necessary funds The first dam was begun February, 1902. a year ahead Of time. It is the most important of public works of Egypt since Menes constructed the dike across the river at Memphis, making possible basin ir- rigation, the wonder Of engineers to this day. Basin irrigation cost about s15 an acre in 5000 acre areas; from S25 to $50 on small tracts, and land rented at from SIS to $25 an acre per year. Irrigation ali the year round. now made possible, costs s22 an acre and the rents are from $25 to $40.

China has a large area of barren land, despite her dense population. The reason being that for many cen turies it has been necessary to give the closest possible attention to every square foot of land suited to agricul- ture in order that the people should be fed The Chinese have shown themselves to be good agriculturists, but in developing agriculture they have sacrificed the forests on land which could be cultivated and at the same time have neglected to plant for ests on the now barren mountains. This has been because tue govern ment has taken no interest in the sub iect, and forestry on anything like a national scale is too big proposition for individual enterprise. even if in China there had been a spirit of en- terprise One of the signs of the new order of things under the republic is the recent application by the, goyernpi of the province of Shantung to Major .ASsrn, the director of forestry in the Philippines, for permission to send as many Chimes students as possible to the Los ganoe forestry school
