popular conception of the sandy des-

territory east of the canal. There are
large stretches OF loose deposits, OF
course, but in the main the floor OF the
desert is a clay which the sun has
baked almost into brick. The result
is that ali automobile or motor truck

wagon transportation unfeasible, since
drausht animals require more water

With the supply machinery in good
