The island of Corfu is in general unproductive in grain and cattle, and affords very little wood. The canton of Kassopo produces a small quantity of wheat along the coast, but olive-yards and vines are equally found there. The upper part of Mount Kassopo, however, as well as the whole of the southern declivity, are barren. The canton of Lakonos is the least productive; that of Lefkimo, besides having salt-works, produces olives, vines, and a small quantity of wheat. From this exposition it will appear that the productions of Corfu are confined to wine, oil, and salt, and consequently this island is under the necessity of seeking its own subsistence by means of a foreign trade.
