fornia and Asia Minor show a remark
able resemblance between the two re-
gions.
1.-THE curves begin with the epoch Of
the Trojan War, about 1900 B. C.
There both curves dip very low, indi-
eating an epoch Of sudden and severe
dessication. That particular period,
historians tell us, was one of the most
chaotic in all history.
1.-The famine in the days Of Elijah
appears in both curves. Apparently at
that time the climate did not become
extremely dry, nothing like so bad as
1t had been a few hundred years ear
lier durin gthe Twelfth century, but
there was rather distinct falling of
in the amount of rainfall as compared
with the uncommonly good conditions
Of the preceding century. About 700
years before Christ both curves stand
high in the day when the Greeks were
laying the foundation of their future
greatness and the empires Of Mosopo-
tamia were at their height. Then
comes pronounced falling off, with a
recovery Of 800 or 400 years before
Christ, another decline eliminating
about 200 B. c., and a recovery reach
ing high point about so B. C.
"The time Of Christ, the great era of
universal peace under the sway of
Rome, was apparently an epoch Of ia
vorable climate, a time Of abundant
rain and consequently good crops in all
the countries around the Mediterra-
mean sea and eastward in Asia, as well
as in California. Next comes a long
period Of decline eliminating six or
seven centuries after the time of
Christ. No period in all history, save
that which centers about 1000 B. c.,
was more chaotic, and that early pc
riod also appears to have been a time
Of greatly diminished rainfall"
This publication, which may be pur-
chased from the superintendent Of doc

reasons and work that led to the con-
clusions given above. It also contains

trees in the Yosemite, Sequoia and

HOW EGYPT MARKETS COTTON
Ancient Land Has Lessons for Ameri.
can Farmer.

can Farmer.
Methods Of baling, sampling and
marketing cotton lint in Egypt may be
studied with profit by American cot
ton producers, both by way Of reach
ing to save waste and by way of ex-
hibiting the excessive charges of
middlemen. is the conclusion reach
ed by ]. S. Williams and Clarence
Ousley, the subcommittee Of the
American commission to investigate
and study agricultural credit and CO.
operation, whose report on their
study of the production and market
ing Of Egyptian cotton has just been
published as senate document.
Egypt, however, they found, can offer
to the United States no instruction
whatever in skill, science or other
element Of economy or efficiency in
cotton production, nor does that coun-
try constitute any menace of over
production.
Summarizing their investigation
briefly, they say:
Egypt, with her 100000 to e.
600, 900 bales Of cheaply produced,
but dearly sold cotton, admonishes
American growers to improve their
methods of cultivation and market
ing in order to reduce their cost Of
production.
Cooperation in Egypt.
The proprietors Of large Egyptian
estates, representing "a to 10 per
cent Of the crop, are in position to
cooperate and render powerful aid in
maintaining fair prices for their COM
modities and these prices will tend
to steady the prices Of American cot
ton II our producers do not commit
the folly Of producing more than the
world will take at profitable values,
and If the cotton states will establish
a system of state regulated ware
houses, which will enable the farmers
to store their cotton and secure cheap
money upon warehouse receipts
whereby they may sell the crop grad
instead of forcing it upon the market,
as they do now, within two or three
months.
1.-The proprietors and the British
Egyptian department of agriculture
promise hearty cooperation in estab-
fishing a system Of accurate reports
of cotton consumption"
A Vital Relation Exists.
Concluding, the subcommittee
states there is vital relation between
Egyptian and American cotton pro-
duction. which should be cultivated
in amity and mutually by every pos
sible official and cooperative endeav-
or. They state that the result Of
their investigation was three-fold, and
in each respect the situation is we'll
worth careful consideration
