16 No preliminary enquiry seems to have been made as to what was the human carrying-capacity of these holdings. In the early days no one seems to have had a very clear idea of just how much income the tenancy would produce. Gaitskell says, “It was difficult at this stage to foretell how the profit from the cash-crop would turn out compared with pre-irrigation days”, ibid., p. 87.

17 Ibid., p. 88.

18 This appears to be the case from my own data. G.M. Culwick, Diet in the Gezira …, op. cit., comes to the same conclusion.
