Cotton Production Welcome.

Mesopotamia has always grown some cotton, which modern methods may improve. Of this material may have been the veil with which Rebekah covered herself at her first meeting with Isaac, as she journeyed under the guidance of Abraham’s servant from Mesopotamia to Canaan to become Isaac’s wife. Cotton competition between Mesopotamia and Egypt would be particularly attractive. And cotton is one good thing of which war’s tatterdenialion, the wogld Of today cannot have too much.—Boston Herald.
