British engineers have been at
work on the irrigation scheme con-

dam, which was finished before the

by it. The canalization work con-

and the area to be cultivated never
was brought under irrigation.
The Eupharates divides at Hindieh
into two branches. the Shaft ell -Hilleh
in the east and the Shaft lei -Hindieh
to the west, and the two channels Of
the river meet again a few miles
above Samawa
The function of the dam was to
provide water for the Hlleh branch,
which was filling with silt. This
year nearly a hundred canals ion the
Hilleh branch. which had fallen into
disuse have been dug out. 300, 900
acres have been brought under cul-
tivaton and there is promise Of the
greatest harvest in the memory Of
man, possibly the greatest since the
