To visualize what recovery will mean
to France, one must recognize the
position she held prior to 1914. Her
wheat harvest in 1913 was over haf
that of the entire United States, while
she ranked third among the nations in
oats production. She was third also in
producing potatoes, leading the United
states in the annual yield. France was
fourth in the production OF beet sugar
and exported the commodity to other
European and oriental countries. She
holds conspicuous place as a breed
er of horses and cattle.
The war cost France many Of her
farmers besides rendering temporarily
useless to her 9,775.0O0 acres of farm
land. But since the war. she has made
rapid strides toward recoyery--having
already cleared and put under cultiya-
tion 3,755,92O acres OF the total lost
to production The office of recon-
struction is greatly assisting the far

coal from Germany. However. as a
result of the Spa conference held in
July France is to receive 100000 tons
monthly OF the 100000 tons to be de-
livered to the Allies. beginning August
1st. 20 obtain even these shipments
France is obliged to pay Germany
5000 900 francs monthly for six
months for the feeding OF the Ruhr
workers. But France is doing more
than patiently waiting for German
coal. She is making every effort to
hasten the work of reconstruction in
the damaged mines in order to bring
their production as soon as possible up
to the pre-war figure of 5000, 900
tons. The result Of these efforts Is
shown by the fact that the June output
of coal in the two departments of Nord
and Of Pas de Calais increased 104
per cent and rs per cent respectively
over the previous month.
Water Power Development
The scarcity of coal during the war
hastened the development of hydro
electric power to great extent in
France. Between 1916 and 1918 it is
