Comparing 1921 with the pre-war period there has been a drop 
of 29.3 per cent in acreage due, for the most part, to the general 
economic situation. The great reduction of 62.6 per cent in produc- 
tion is due largely to climatic and other factors. There is no record 
of the factory run in 1921. 
SUGAR BEET SITUATION IN HUNGARY, 1922. 
In 1922 the acreage under sugar beets dropped from 102,917 to 
64,303; but the yield increased from 5.82 to about 9.2 short tons per 
acre. This brought the total yield up to 589,274 short tons, or about 
what it was the previous year. 
FODDER BEETS IN HUNGARY. 
The average consumption of fodder beets per head of livestock has 
been calculated for the old Kingdom of Hungary as a whole; but it 
is improbable that any great amount of these beets entered into 
domestic or foreign trade. For the most part they were fed locally, 
the number of livestock fed varying with the supply of beets. A 
relatively small amount of beets were used industrially, averaging 
about 237,000 tons per year, and about 10,000 tons were exported 
each year. However, most of the product did not leave the farm upon 
which it was grown.

In 1921 there was an increase over the pre-war (191 1-1915) average 
acreage under [odder beets amounting to about J 2.2 per cent. The 
total yield of fodder heels in 1921, due to a. decrease of 54.7 percent 
in yield per acre, was 48.8 per cent below the 1911-1915 average, as 
shown in Table 31 :
