Chinese Farmer (1) My intention is to describe how we have utilized natural waters for the irrigation of our land, as our goal from four thousand years ago until now has been to reap all that can be reaped from the earth. Then, King Yu drained these waters from the land of China, divided the country into nine sections, and established canals along its borders to separate them. Three hundred and fifty years after that, a great flood occurred in the country when the Yellow River overflowed, and its fury was not contained until hydraulic works were abolished and wells were dug in places far from the canals, and the use of water increased until it exceeded previous days. This Song state strived to expand the scope of the canals, so it established a new department in the government called the Department of Water, and appointed a special minister for it named the Governor of Water, and appointed another governor to oversee the matter of transporting rice in the northern provinces of the Yellow River, and studied the sale of land and its crops; in this era, agriculture in China achieved great success. In short, China is an agricultural country, and the Chinese have known that the fertility of their land depends on its irrigation. The introduction of this plant's cultivation to the Egyptian territory was not long ago, and it has achieved great success, especially in sandy lands mixed with yellow clay that are free from trees and weeds, provided it is planted in elevated land that is not reached by floodwaters and is not permeated by water seepage.
