Abstract
IN the agricultural development of a country two lines of attack have always to be followed: investigations are made with the objects of discovering the best crops to grow and the best methods to follow; and the cultivator—who is generally constitutionally conservative—has to be persuaded that the new methods really are an improvement on the old. Egypt, old as she is, has to adapt herself to the changed economic conditions of the world, and the problem before her agricultural advisers is fundamentally the same as in new countries, though in its details more complex.
