EGYPT CUTS COTTON AREA
Decree Makes Great Reduction IN
ACREAGE for 1915.

ConSul-General Olney Arnold reports
from Cairo, Egypt, that by a decree
published on September %, the area to
be devoted to cotton in Egypt during
the agricultural year 1915, is limited to
a maximum Of 100000 feddans "a fed
dan equals 1.03 acres), the cultivation
of the fibre being entirely prohibited In
the basins Of Upper Egypt, and no
owner or tenant being permitted to cul-
tivate cotton over an acre exceeding
one-fourth Of a single agricultural
property. In those localities not suited
to the growing Of grain, cotton may be
increased to one third, but in no case
is the maximum Of 100000 feddans to
be exceeded. An exception Is also made
as to lands in districts irrigated by
water from the Nile and canals. Nom
conformance with the decree will entail
both punishment and fine and the de-
struction Of paintings beyond the legal
limit Wheat, corn, beans and other
grain and food products (as noted In
Daily Consular and Trade Reports for
cotton.
In reviewing the situation thus
brought about, the Egyptian Gazette Of
Alexandria says:
THE temporary curtailment of culti
walton of cotton in this country will
not be the unmixed calamity that it
might at first sight appear. The total
European production of grain Of all
sorts Is estimated at 600,000,000 tons,
while the imports to Europe from all
other parts Of the world are 100000
tons only. On these figures it Is ap-
parent that should the coming Euro
pean crops show a shrinkage OF not
more than per cent which is quite
low assumption under present condi-
tions, this deficiency will necessitate
imports Of double the quantity Of nor
NAL times. Unfortunately also the
outlook is for a prolongation Of the
war beyond this year, and in these cir
cumstances we must foresee famine
prices for foodstuffs. The year 1913
presents many parallel features with
the present and at that time prices rose
$50 per cent over normal ones. Food
stuffs will thus be very valuable and
will advantageously replace the depre-
ciated cotton.
Apart from the exigencies of the fl
nancial situation, it may be remarked
that the cotton land will now obtain
the rest that many authorities con-
slider it to be badly in need Of. A fur
ther point is that our old enemies, the
insect pests, will be starved out, and
we shall be able to make a fresh start
when cotton cultivation is resumed
Also wheat is an inexpensive thing to
grow, requiring less labor and less wa
ter than cotton does.
Thus, far from being a necessary
sacrifice, reducing cotton cultivation
at present will eventually prove boon
&c the Egyptian peasant, in view of the
high prices and the possibility of OBJ
'aining two crops from the same land.
Besides a glut will thus be prevented.

tion of the 1914-15 crop"

The War and Temperance.-The war

The War and Temperance.-Thew war
is proving a great influence for tenn
perance.
Although the British soldier is allow
ed a mere taste of rum in his tea, yet
liquor is practically barred from the
army, and soldiers have been caution
ed strictly to abstain from the use of
intoxicating beverages.
Russia has gone still further. An
imperial decree has been issued closing
all places selling liquor, and a heavy
penalty has been imposed on anyone
engaging in the traffic in any manner
during the war.
Furthermore, Russia is closing all the
booze places in Austria as fast as she
extends her power there.
Germany also has restricted the use
of intoxicants in the army and is en-
forcing temperance among the SOL
diers.
That the action taken will have wide
effect goes without saying. 1t is in line
with the trend Of the times. A man
cannot be efficient and dependable If
he is addicted to the use Of liquor. And
the recognition of this fact is promot-
ing the cause of temperance by leaps
and bounds.-Empire Star Gazette.
