]$85,000,000 Plan
to Raise Cotton
in Iraq Launched
Concession Granted f«»r Huge
Irrigation System to Be
Established by English
Syndicate.
London, Oct. 17.—A concession
valued at $85,000,(100 for a cotton
growing scheme in Iraq is reported
to have been granted to Dr. Ansar,
the Syrian financier, who is turning it
over to a syndicate in whieh Norton
Orlfflths & Co., Ltd., the works con
tractors of London, arc interested
T(*e project is regarded by the
Iraq government as one with enor
mous potentialities, and ns offering
the assurance of prosperity for tho
country. The whole scheme is to be
worked in a series nf undertakings
to he operated independently, with
a concession in each case for K0
years, and with the possibility of a
renewal for another 20 years.
Reverts to Government.
AH the works executed on govern
ment. lands and ail the lands placed
at the concessionaries' disposal, with
the constructions on them, are. to he
handed over to the government at the
end of 60 years.
The three main schemes are:
The Habaniyah reservoir, the Til
ltljoh Barrage, and the irrigation sys
tem dependent on these works on
the Euphrates river.
The weir on the Dujalah river and
the system of irrigation works de
pendent on it.
The dam at Tawilah, on the Dujal
ah river. A sufficiency of water is to
he available for the cultivation of
7,000.000 acres of cotton yearly.
The first scheme is to Vie embarked
upon this year, and will Involve less
than $2,000,000. The government, for
the period of the concession, will be
entitled to a crop percentage not
to exceed 11 per cent, the figure to
he definitely fixed after considering
the financial aspect of each separate
project.
Effect on Egypt.
It Is expected that the develop
ment of tho Iraq territory, Vhore It
has been proved that high-grade cot
ton ran he raised, should benefit the
Lancashire textile industry in view
of the cotton scarcity. Save in the
case of skilled technical labor the ag
ricultural employes must tic recruited
from the Arabic.speaking countri»s.
It is probable that there will be a
big migration of Egyptian fellaheen
to Iraq.
The concession provides for the ox
emption of customs dues on all mate
rial and agricultural machinery ncc
cesary for carrying out the project.
Dr. Assar, who is a friend of the
king of Iraq, has a financial reputa
tion in the east, and has pt Tiously
obtained concessions »from the Turk
i?h government for French and Bel
gian interests.

Library’s Study
Value Stressed
Better Fducalional Facilities
Nceclcrl, Speaker Tells As
sociation at Omaha Meet.
Need of even better educational
facilities for libraries than the United
States now boasts was stressed by
Carl II. .Milam, Chicago, secretary
of the American Library association,
In an address to members of the Ne
braska Library assoriation at the
Omaha Public libary Thursday night.
"No person is educated if he stops
trying to acquire knowledge as soon
ns he leaves school," Mr. Milan said.
"With this theory in mind we must
think of the vast number of persons
who must rely on the public libraries
of the country for this later educa
tion and must keep our subjects up
to a point where they will fill this
want.
"The libraries' contribution to adult
education will he in the field of su
pervised or directed study. Some li
braries are already attempting to do
this. They have established an of
fice where anyone desiring aid in
studying may go. But in the end the
greatest aid a library ran give is
along the stated desires of an individ
ual and this desire must come
through direct contact with all the
research branches of an Institution."
More than 100 members of the Ne
braska Library association attended
the meeting.
