Kuwait for some years. A total of 4.99", and as a result an excellent hay crop
grew all over the Desert to a distance of 250 miles all round.
This crop dried as the Summer arrived, and provided good fodder for the
Bedouins’ camels throughout the Summer months. Both Winter and Summer
was a year of plenty with the result that meat, ghi, sour milk and camels were
cheap and plentiful.
{1) The Autumn of 1933, when new rains should have fallen, was not so
satisfactory, and up to the end of the year nothing worth speaking of had fallen.
If the Spring does not bring a change the year 1934 promises to be bad, and
