How it stands with the rain divisions during the growing time 

 of the cotton may be seen from the tables (to follow) borrowed 

 from America which refer firstly to the whole cotton growing coun- 

 try and in particular to the two chief growing states, Texas and 

 West Louis-iana. 



Egypt, where an even better quality of cotton is cultivated than 

 in America, has, compared with that country, a very dry climate, 

 which may be seen from the following rainfall observations made in 

 Alexandria and in Cairo.

With these small quantities of rain it would seem to be impos- 

 sible to grow cotton in Egvpt if it were not that artificial irrigation 

 remedies this want.
