COTTON IN THE NILE DELTA.
Lord kltchener's Survey

A striking illustration Of q very successful
experiment in the reclamation of waste land
in Egypt was given by Lord Kitchener on
Monday before the international Congress
on Tropical Agriculture Mt the Imperial In
stitute. The subject before the Congress
was cotton cultivation, aud the experiment.
undertaken by the Egyptian Government
was on 500 acres Of absolutely waste land at
Blaln. Lord Kitchener produced u colourea
map Of the area, covered with blue patches
indicating over 10 per cent impregnatiou
with salt, which for ages rendered the lahl
useless. A scientific system of irrigation
and drainage was lnid out, the result Of
which was shown on a second map. Nearly
all the blue patches had disappeared, AMI
cotton is now being satisfactorily grown
which it is hoped will bring in from els to
E20 IN acre. The value Of the experiment.
is Indicated by the fact that there are IL
million acres Of such waste land IN the Nile
Delta waiting for development. Lord Kitch-
ener also described some Of the work beine,
done by the new Department of Agriculture
III Egypt, aud spoke of the great future in
store for the Sudan as a cotton-growing area

CITY EXPENSES FOR
QUARTER INCREASED
Last Three Months Cost Over
Thousand More Than Same
Period Last Year-Appro-
priation Held Responsible.

An increase OF s1.357.31 is shown in
the city expenditures during the last
three months as compared with the
same period last year. according 70
reports made by the various depart
ments in a meeting at the mayors Of
flee at the city hall, yesterday after
noon.
According to reports the increase
is largely due TO a cumbersome debt
incurred by an appropriation Of ST..
019.64 10 the street intersection fund.
Officials claim that if it had not been
unloaded at this time the record
would show "A gain Of approximately
$4,000. A decrease Of $6,21S.3S dur
ing this period as compared with the
same time a year ago, was credited 10
the board of safety. This large de-
crease is due largely to the fact that
the time for paying firemen's and po-
licemen's salaries has been changed.
The net gain would be approximately
S2.745.S3.
Miscellaneous receipts for the first
quarter show an increase Of $4,251
from city license collections and So
508.49 from water rents, making in
all total OF s13,75S.49.
City Controller L. G.. Manning re-
ported that the financial condition of
the city is good and that it is believed
that the financial department will be
able TO get through this season without
putting out the usual interest bearing
warrants.
Plan City Library.
Plans are being made to equip a
city library, especially for the munich
pal business. The library as planned
will consist Of reference books on af-
fairs OF other cities, and il is believed
that by securing a set of books con-
tanning ordinances and other infor-
nation Of other cities that the council
would be largely benefited. The books
probably will be kept at the city
library The city Librarian has offered
to secure books that would be of in
terest and that would be valuable for
this purpose. The matter will be taken
up later.
According TO Manning the following
appropriations have been made since
the first Of the year: Jan. II, $50, 200
from the track separation fund to the
water rent fund; $1,616.34 from the
street repair fund to the general fund.
Jan %, $500 to the miscellaneous
fund for drafting a new building code.

ton fund. March 9, $736.65 to the

eous fund for the finance department

books, and $34S.1O to the miscellan-
Gus department to be used for remov-
ing the debris incident to the collapse
of the Shively-Honer building.
