Excerpt from Agriculture in Other Lands: Notes Collected During the Course of a Visit, in 1910, to Europe, Northern Africa, and Asia Minor

The average temperature in Egypt is high, and the growth of plants therefore exceedingly rapid when within reach of an adequate supply of moisture. It follows, therefore, that wherever perennial irrigation is possible the Egyptian soil is made to yield two crops in one year; and as the value of the summer crop is usually considerably in excess of that of the winter crop, it is calculated that the possibility of perennial irrigation more than doubles the productiveness of the land.
