i Burgenland not included, as at the time of collecting these statistics the frontiers of this district were 
not fully determined.

Above data furnished by Court Councilor Thalmayer. 
From a comparison of the 1922 areas given in Table 65 with the 
1921 are as, directly it appears that in 1922 this district of Burgen- 
land produced a surplus of cereals with the exception of corn which 
was imported in relatively large quantities for fattening steers and 
swine for the Austrian and German markets. 
The 1922 statistics of Austria, as reported by the International In- 
stitute of Agriculture, can not be compared directly with those of 
1921 because in 1922 the areas seeded to cereals in Burgenland were 
included with those of the rest of Austria for the first time. If we 
add to the Austrian pre-war average in Table 64 the Hungarian pre- 
war average for the territory comprised within the present boun- 
daries of Burgenland we can compare the 1922 records to this com- 
bined pre-war average and thus get an approximate percentage of 
the decrease below pre-war which is comparable with the 1921 drop. 
Thus we have :
