Excerpt from Supplement to Commerce Reports: Daily Consular and Trade Reports Issued by the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce, Department of Commerce, Washington, D. C.; June 13, 1916 This district is also one of the principal salt-producing regions of France. The salt is recovered from the salt marshes, which are found along the coast and on the small islands, by evaporation. The product of this region is highly esteemed, as it is Considered superior in quality to that found in the other re ions of France. Formerly the annual production of the marshes in this district reached the total of tons. In 1914 the yield was only tons, while that of 1915 is estimated as low as tons. The failure of the salt crop in recent years is due to unfavorable weather conditions in the early autumn when evaporation should be at its maximum.
