1 Cotton (Egypt)
The Egyptian crop is reckoned in " cantars," a cantar being equal to 98-lb. The Egyptian bale contains about 7 cantars, or 700-lb. Egypt being practically a rainless country, is dependent on the River Nile for its water supply. The river annually overflows its banks, and deposits a rich layer of silt and mud over the cotton growing lands. Within recent years a vast amount of money has been spent on perfecting an irrigation system, by which a continuous supply of water is available all the year round. This has made it possible to extend the country's cotton growing area very largely. Egyptian cotton ranks next to Sea Islands in point of quality, and is used for the world's finer cotton goods. The commercial varieties are Mitafifi, Abassi, Joanovich, Ashmouni, Nubari, Sakellaridis and Assil. Of these, Sakellaridis, a cotton of quite recent growth, is now the most important. Mitafifi (or " Brown Egyptian ") is the average quality of Egyptian cotton, having a staple of about 13/8-in, in length, and is noted for its regularity, both of length and colour. It derives its name from a village in the province of Galulbia, where it was first grown about thirty years ago. It is now cultivated in Lower Egypt and the Nile Delta. There has, in recent years, been a falling off in quality of this cotton, and it is now less extensively grown than formerly. -
2 Cotton (Abassi)
Abassi. This is the whitest of the Egyptian cottons, and has been grown since about 1890 in the Delta of the Nile. It has a long, fine fibre, but has not quite the length of the brown variety. It seemed a few years ago as if Abassi were about to disappear, but a small acreage is still planted with the variety annually. -
