The Santa Barbara County

The key to the solution of the fis-

itself a guarantee that the national

The Departments of Nord and Pas

a-.ong the most highly developed in

However, production was not par

spring of 1916 the agric ,ltu al situa-

New coal fields helped to replace
the output of mines that had been

One of the most significant of all
the industrial developments during
the war was the expansion of hydro
electric installations. OF the estima-

The coal production in the Saar
Basin before the war amounted to
about 16,500.002 tons annually.
The potash deposits of Alsace also
are important. The outp in 1913
