As in other districts, in Czechoslovakia there has heen a decrease in 
the total area under cereals, though this decrease in the area seeded 
is not great. There is a marked decrease in wheat, the food of the 
cities, and a sharp increase in rye, the food of the peasants. Total 
bread cereals have fallen 4.2 per cent and corn has risen 3.5 per cent. 
These changes, though relatively great, are without special significance 
to the agriculture of Czechoslovakia as a whole. 
The yields obtained from the areas under the principal crops both 
before the war and during the crop seasons, 1920; 1921, and 1922, are 
given in Table 115:
