BURGENLAND. 
Burgenland is a strip of rich agricultural land ceded to the Republic of Aus- 
tria by Hungary. According to the frontiers set in 1921 the total area of the 
district is 1,014,917 acres. It has a population of 296,787 of which 59.2 per cent 
are engaged in agriculture. The published statistics of Burgemand were not 
included in the crop reports of the Austrian Department of Agriculture until 
1922. In the preliminary reports of that year the increase in the areas seeded 
to cereals is largely due to the inclusion of Burgenland statistics.

This district of Burgenland produced a surplus of all cereals with the excep- 
tion of com which was imported in relatively large quantities for fattening 
steers and swine for the Austrian and German markets. 
The 1922 statistics given in Tables 59 and 60 as reported by United Shite* 
Consul Foster do not include Burgenland; but the figures in ureas Beeded in 
1922 as reported by the International Institute of Agriculture at Rome do in- 
clude Burgenland and so we can obtain a preliminary idea of the general effect 
that the inclusion of this territory will have on Austria's agricultural situation. 
As indicated above, from the pre-war average surpluses and deficits it is evident 
that, the acquisition of Burgenland is a distinct gain for Austria. 
In comparing the statistics of crop years 1920 and 1921 with the 
pro-war period in Austria (without Burgenland), it is soon, from 
Table 64, that in 1921 there was considerable improvement over 
1920:
