The water supply is at present inadequate for

Sana van garden. Sanayan, which is H. E. Shaikh
Hamad r s own property, was previously leased to some
local Bahama who were ejected because they failed
to pay their rent. It was in bad condition, the
irrigation channels were choked by rubbish and leaves
and hundreds of loz trees, which yielded an almost
worthless harvest, had been allowed to grow up
among the date trees killing many of the young palms
and keeping the sun off others although it is well
known that date trees do not thrive without sun.
During the previous year a number of the date trees
were manured, as is done in Iraq, but this year for
economical reasons no more manuring has been done.
Almost all the loz trees have been cut down and have
been sawn up to a saleable size, which is slow and
expensive work as only small handsaws are used. The
wood is now being sold, by degrees, to the public
and also to the Police force who are purchasing from
Sanayan instead of from the rations contractor. This
wood should in time produce three or four thousand
