SAHARA IS TO RAISE COTTON
 FOR FRANCE
French Dream of African Supply to Replace That
 From U. s.
BY RALPH HEINZEN Iniicd Press RtaiY CnrrcknOndcn

Paris, (UP)-With work in prog resB to irrigatc one million acres Of North African dosert whore, within three years, cotton will be growing, France is brightly hope. ful that the day is near when sho will no longer Do compelled to buy on the open market American cotton equivalent to 0S per cent of her requirements.
 French agronomlc engineers paint the bright picture of fields of cotton growing fyom the Medi- terranean to tho fringes of tho sahara. Bu further damming of desert seasonal streams and open- Ing of irrigation canals, they even picture tho sahara turning green, and cotton and fruits harvested on what is now the worlds largest waste spot.
 The agronomic policies of France's North African colonies have been subJugnted during re- cent years to q policy of hydraulic development and already d good part of this audaciouE program Of irrigation Is under way.
 France already has more wine than she can consume and tho world markets arc saturated. She Is now producing nearly as much wheat as she can consume, and the rest of Europe has bursting granarlcs, so the French colonials turned to cotton as q crop which France needs badly. When the newly irrigated farmland starts raising cotton. France may supply half of her own needs.
 The Algerian botanical gardens, after years of experimenting, have developed q plant which will grow well under African conditions. It has c long staple and in test plan- tations has produced an average of one bale m acre, although in some places the production reaches
 Throe of these new dams are be-. Ing built in tho Cheliff plains Of Algeria, less than 100 miles inland from the Mediterranean. The Bou Hanifa dam and that at Bakada, on the Nina river, will each open to cultivation 10000 acres. That on the Todda river, which VIII make that important vaIley. q rich grannary, will be finished in 1883 and will return to cultivation about 150,00e acres.
 Tn Morocco, the most imposing project is that of capturing the waters of the principal streams coming down from the Upper Atlas mountains. Thes will ir1rgete f6O, ,OOO acres in the TadIa plains. By pumping some distance the waters from these artificial lakes, it will Do possible to reclaim bb0s- O00 acres more in Morocco.
