Growing in Mesopotamia

The British Cotton Growing Asso-
citation recently sent a deputation to
Mesopotamia to survey the country
there and to report as to it's value for
cotton growing. The report was salts
factory, and it is now proposed to set
up a number of model plantations
which will serve the purpose of seed
and demonstration farms
The possibilities of Mesopotamia for
cotton growing are said to be very
considerable, but its potentialities
have yet to be investigated and put to
the test to decide whether cotton grow
ing can be established there on
commercial basis. The rainfall Is so
small that the summer cultivation of
the country must depend entirely upon
irrigation. Mesopotamia, it is said,
differs from Egypt az regards the con-
ditions under which the work Of irri-
CATION will have TO be carried out. The
irrigation system is dependent not on
Il single river with we'll defined and
permanent course, like the Nile, but
on two great rivers-the Tigris and the
Euphrateg-- mcandering through a.
vide plain in Yery III defined and fro
nrontly changing courses, With many
tributary branches and cross connec

Dress Trade Favors
Four Seasons a Year

Unofficial approval Of tho Associated
Dress Industries of America has been
given the movement to establish four
seasons year in the dress manufac-
turning and retailing trades. The four.
seasons idea Is making progress In the
millinery industry, and 1t was from
that trade that the idea spread to the
dress manufacturers.
The subject will be taken up at tho
next meeting of the associations exec
utive board.
From every viewpoint the "four-sea.
sons" idea will benefit the consumer as
we'll as the retailer and manufacturer,
and will do more to stabilize conditions
in the women's garment industry than
anything that has ever been attempted,
according to those who are sponsoring
the movement in this country. In the
first place, it Is contended that it will
enable the manufacturer of dresses to
place his orders for raw material with
more confidence and in larger quantities
than he has been able to under existing
conditions.
In the second place, the retailer will
cover his needs for the particular sea-
son at one time, instead Of placing the
spasmodic orders to which he has been
accustomed by prevailing conditions
Furthermore, the styles, instead Of
changing frequently, will be limited to
the four seasons Of the year-spring,
summer, autumn and winter. 1t Is also
contended that the labor end of the in
dustry will be materially benefited by
the Inauguration Of the "four-seasvns'
movement, because 1t will result in
steady employment for the thousands
of workers in the industry on a twelve
month basis instead of six or seven
months, as is the case at the present
time.
while the Associated Dress Indus
tries of America is not sponsoring the
four-seasons' idea in the needle in
dustry, yet it is ready to cooperate with
any project that has for fts purpose
the betterment Of conditions and the
stabilization Of the dress INDUSTRIES"
said Executive Director Mosessohn yes
terday: There is no doubt about it
that the Your-seasons' movement has
some really splendid points to 1t,
and from information which we have
received-and 1t was submitted to us by
those who are confident of its success
it would appear as though the dress In
dustry might do we'll to follow Europe
in this connection and produce for the
women Of the country the newest modes
for each season of the year"
