Prepared in the German Statistisches Reichsamt, Sept. 15, 1923, using as basis for present territory, 
Verteljahrshefte, 1923, heft, 3; for total areas lost; Statistisches Jahrbuch fur das Deutsche Reich. 1921- 
22; total former Empire, Vierteljahrshefte, 1914, heft 4. Division of lost areas according to country to 
which lost was obtained from statistics, prepared in the Preussisches Statistisches Landesamt. 
1 Figures for 1912. Xo figures for 1913 are available. 
; Figures for poultry are difficult to estimate exactly and are apt to be too low. 
of the "Reichsernahrungsamt" this figure should be raised by 25 per cent. 
POST-WAR LIVESTOCK SITUATION 
According to statements 
Germany's herds of cattle and swine were greatly depleted during 
the war. Comparing the numbers of head per 1,000 inhabitants 
within the present boundaries of the Republic with recent years there 
were 320 head of cattle in 1913 against 264 in 1922 and 275 in 1924, 
while there were 390 swine in 1913 against 238 in 1922 and 268 in 
1924. (See Table 55.)
