Excerpt from Reclamation of Alkali Lands in Egypt: As Adapted to Similar Work in the United States The value of this alkali land is nominal, the greater part cf it being priced at $10 per acre or less. Were this land in a fertile condition its value under irrigation would be at least $7 5 per acre. If it can be brought into a State of fertility its value will therefore be increased $65 per acre, and in order that the reclamation may be a commercial success, it must be cai ried out at a cost below this amount.
