Comparing 1922 with 1921 directly it appears that in 1922 Austria 
improved her seeding of cereals by 265,000 acres. This was due to 
the added areas seeded in Burgenland. 
A falling off in cereal areas for the crop of 1922 was quite universal 
through the Danube Basin. 
PRE-WAR WHEAT AND RYE BALANCE OF THE OLD MONARCHY. 
The bread-grain deficit of the old Kingdom of Austria was just 
about covered by Hungary's surplus so that practically the entire 
Hungarian wheat and rye crop was disposed of within the confines 
of the old Monarchy. The data in the following balance represents 
the average wheat and rye figures for the years 1909-1913: 
Average wheat and rye in terms of flour, 3 1 909-1913.

(grain) is 198 pounds and rye 220 pounds per year.

The peoples within the old Kingdom of Hungary ate less bread 
than the Austrians, making up their ration by greater use of Indian 
corn and vegetables. 
The territory of the Republic of Austria contains the city of 
Vienna and the ratio of flour consumption within this territory was 
considerably greater than was calculated for the old Monarchy as a 
whole. The territory of the Republic consumed about 1.S3 barrels 
per capita per year against the monarchy's 1.63. The pre-war 
balance between the production and consumption of wheat and rye 
within the 11*21 confines of the Republic oi Austria are shown in
