Then there is cotton, Egypt's second biggest foreign-exchange earner after the canal. Because there is no money to spare for urgently needed insecticides, leafworms threaten to wipe out 30% of this year's crop. In desperation, the government sent almost 500,000 schoolchildren into the fields last week to pick leafworms off the plants.
