has stimulated in Egypt an increase ot population equaled by few other lands in old world areas besides Germany Cities, villages, roads, railways and canals have sprung up out of the pro- fits of the Nile bonanza farm.
 At the time the war broke out, ir- rigation projects were in prospects that would have reclaimed nearly 100000 acres more of land. The cost of all of these works had been estimated at something more than S1O0,000,000. Cotton was first of the plantation crops, with an apparently glowing future before it. Rice was the principal grain export, being sold to a value of about s1,25O,00O Fresh eggs on the London breakfast tables were largely Egyptians, the value of this product taken each year by Great Britain averaging around $600,000. There were, also, important quantities of fancy Egyptian vegetables sold in London markets, and thriving cane sugar industry was in the course of upbuilding.
 Moreover, agricultural Egypt just began to gather headway during the past ten years. It was just beginning to realize a fraction of the production that a proper development of it's lands could be expected to bring about. Its out-of-season vegetables. grown at a time when the fields of Europe's great vegetable gardens still lie frost bound, had enjoyed scarce half a de- cade of demand in northern markets, though they compared in quality with the fancy vegetables, the first aris- tocracy of vegetable foods grown on the little garden plots in Northern France and in Belgium, the coaxed and coddled cultivations of jealous small gardeners. Egypt gave promise of be- coming England's fairest farm"

HAS WON RENoWN AS
 ENGLAND'S KITCHEN GARDEN"
Egypt Has Made Great Progress Un- der European Leadership During Past Generation.
Especial to The Buletin.)


 Washington, D. C., Feb. 13.-"From a forbidding- sprdid waste-land, farmed where naturally fertile barely for a frugal daily fare, into a land of num- erous farms and plantations, of ever extending irrigation nets and increas- ing profusions of green and gold and resset vegetation, Is the story of Egypt's progress under European ton. Where the fame of Egypt of old was for thuggery and revolution, the modern land was earning renown as @ wonderful winter playgroundS for tourists and as England's Kitchen Garden" says a statement given out Washington, which discusses the Nile land as the granary, vegetable, gar den, orchard, and poultry yard to the great congested ceners tthe north west.
 "The long, fruitful farm that follows the Nile banks through hundreds of miles of desert and spreads out over the wide delta, today, with the people of the most productive countries in the world in trenches and in training camps, has come into hrst-rank inn portance as a source of foodstuffs. For the past thirty years, the progress of Nile-control and of great irrigation projects has been preparing the coun- try for strong competition in all of the larger prouce markets of Europe. The number of farm holdings include 5,5O0, ,0e0 acres of land.
 And there Is labor a-plenty in the country for the development of every square rod of area reclaimed; for Egypt is one Of the most densely set tied lands in the world. Its habitable area is given as 12,026 square miles, and its density of population at 939 persons per square mile. Belgium, before the war, the most thickly set tied country in Europe, had a density of 5S9 per square mile. The enor- nous growth in agricultural resources
