But the cost of "pacification" was high. Apart from the ruined villages, cork cultivation had had to be abandoned; 15,000 of Toudja's 17,000 fig trees no longer bore fruit for want of pruning; there was not one single head of cattle left out of the 238 that existed in 1950; out of a population of 7,230, 1,200 had died or disappeared, leaving a proportion of women to men of eight to two, which spoke volumes.
