Two chapters (XVI and XVII, pp. 147-171) from a 1904 Cassell volume on the Nile Valley, describing modern farming in Egypt's Delta. Cotton is treated first and in most detail: crop rotation, ridging and irrigation, sowing, picking, yields, costs per acre, varieties (Mit-Afifi, Abbassi, Yannovitch, Ashmouni) and pests. Later sections cover beans, maize, water melons, clover, wheat, barley, sesame and dourra, with threshing methods, wages and prices. It has two photographs of Egyptian farm and river scenes and no weaving content.
