Abstract
IN the Sudan, immediately south of Khartum, lies an extensive plain, known as the Gezira Plain, constituting the triangular tract of land enclosed between the two branches of the Nile—the White Nile and the Blue Nile, which unite at Khartum. Some fifteen or twenty years ago this area, comprising considerably more than 3,000,000 acres, was a barren waste. To-day, a substantial part of it is under cultivation and covered with crops.
