Their confidence was exceeded, and it was a setback. The people took advantage of the presence of water and the cultivation of grains. The company requested the government to weave for it, by installing machines, a lift in certain places on the bank of the Nile to irrigate the adjacent lands of the people. It is difficult to imagine the importance of stimulating agriculture among the owners of "Saqia" lands, most of which have been neglected due to the intensity of effort and water required for Saqia cultivation, and the existence of profitable businesses in other areas that attract workers. It is likely that they have now found a way to benefit from the "Sudd," which was a major obstacle to navigation in the Upper White Nile and its tributaries. An English-German company has undertaken to convert the "Sudd" into fuel using a method invented by Professor Horch. This was tested in Germany in the autumn of 1910 with satisfactory results. Mr. Kienbitz, one of the company's representatives, came to Khartoum, where he began preparations for re-testing on a large scale. They carried out many land settlement operations, especially in the Masaliya center, where they completed them. Some doctors in the Kampleen center resigned due to disputes and litigation. They made significant progress in settling the lands on the banks of the White Nile. They had begun re-registering lands in the Khartoum district in November 1909, and this work continued systematically. The Omdurman Land Committee ruled on 3000 cases and was close to completing its work. What draws attention in the agricultural statistics is the expansion of cultivated lands compared to the area cultivated in the previous year, with an increase of 44,900 feddans. Most of the increase is in lands planted with dura, but sesame cultivation has also expanded, especially in the Blue Nile and White Nile provinces. Favorable weather conditions and the safety of crops from insect and worm pests played a significant role in this increase in yields. The season's yield was cotton, sold at high prices. Evidence from various sources indicates that the large profits have alerted national farmers to cultivate good cotton. From last year's Sudanese cotton statistics, it is evident that 51% of the crop was irrigated by pump and 40% by rain, meaning 91% of Sudan's cotton was cultivated and exploited by nationals without European assistance. Therefore, cotton cultivation in Sudan remains in the hands of nationals.
