The second matter was the introduction of a change at the suggestion of the brokers themselves, and it is most likely that they did not fully appreciate all the consequences that would result from it. When the Egyptian government's attention was drawn to these and other difficulties, it asked the stock exchange brokers in Alexandria and Cairo to propose the amendments they desired. Since agreement on these matters, on which ideas often clashed, was difficult, preparing these amendments took a long time. Thus, the government received no reply until the agreement was not reached between the Cairo and Alexandria stock exchanges on all matters. The new text includes amendments intended to address the existing shortcomings, which are currently under consideration, and the possibility of resolving the various difficulties in a satisfactory manner. However, the Egyptian government's acceptance of any of the amendments requires the approval of the Mixed Court of Appeal and, in some cases, the approval of the countries themselves.

Book Three On Agriculture "14" - Cotton I mentioned last year that the government had appointed a committee to investigate certain matters related to the cotton crop in Egypt. The committee was divided into two branches: one to investigate the condition of the soil and irrigation water, and the other to investigate the condition of the cotton plants and the insects that infest them. Each branch collected information separately, and then they met together unanimously. They produced a joint report which was published last autumn, and the public has been able to see it for some time. Its parts covered a very wide scope, and its report was substantial and comprehensive. The committee reached 26 conclusions, which are presented in five chapters and can be summarized as follows: (1) Water - The conclusion reached by the committee on this subject can be taken as an example of the entire issue. They found that it was necessary to collect a great deal of detailed practical and scientific information before reaching final conclusions, and collecting this information required extensive research throughout the country. However, they found it necessary during this time to suggest taking some measures that would be beneficial regardless of the circumstances. They advised farmers on how to irrigate their various crops, the timing of their irrigation, and warned them against the consequences of over-irrigation.
