Note 104 — Chapter V · THE POSSIBILITIES OF AGRICULTURE—(continued).
Reading edition
The total production of dessert fruit as well as dried or preserved fruit in France was estimated, in 1876, at 84,000 tons, and its value was taken at about 3,000,000,000 fr. (£120,000,000)—more than one-half of the war contribution levied by Germany. It must have largely increased since 1876.
