inor(‘ damage to Italy than Hannibal did in s(‘vent(*(Mi. 
This ^vas beeanse the latt(‘r destroyed simply the annual 
crops, whieh meant the loss of only a year’s ineonu', hut 
by the time of Si)artaens the oliv(‘ and the vine bad r(‘- 
plaeed grain in Italy, and it took y(‘ars to ivplaee tlnmi. 
That is the eas(' with Norlberii France. It needs frnit 
tr(H's and vines to replace those which were destroyed, 
and several y('ars will Ix', necessary to restore fornuM' 
conditions. It may be that the nurserymen will start a 
I)ropaganda among the children. It would be easy for 
any child to save enough to buy a peach or apple-tree cut¬ 
ting, to purchase a vine or even a young maple. Nor¬ 
thern France is about as hare as the sands of the sea¬ 
shore, and here is an excellent chance to do some con¬ 
structive work which will cost individuals little hnl will 
amount to much in the aggregate.
