Big cotton profits in this Dixie-by- the-Nile were trump cards on the dip- Jomatic table around which English and Egyptian negotiators gathered in Lon- don_recently. “Raw, untamed, thirsty, dead-flat An- glo-Egyptian Sudan sprawls over the African’ plains that are bordered by the orching Sahara.

Khartum often finds itself engulfed in the boiling sand fog of a ‘haboob.’ So great is the penetration of sand that American exporters are warned by consular representatives not to ship foods put up in the ordinary waxed paper and cardboard boxes.

In one year it sold 14,000 bales of long staple cotton to the world’s chief cotton pro- ducer. It also sent 8,000,000 pounds of gum arabic, a resin scraped off dusty, stunted acacia trees, collected at the desert city of El Obeid. shipped by rail to the country’s sea gate, Port Sudan on the Red Sea, and thence wlAmericma to gum postage stamps, envelopes, glugu paper, to stiffen candy and to be a constituent of many mucilages. Sudan also sent sheepskins that became driv- ing gloves: ivory tusks that became billiard balls and keys for high-grade pianos, and dom plant seeds for cheap buttons.” Water Consumption High.
