The seeding of oats is 54,000 acres below the 1921 seeding and 
273.000 acres below the average pre-war seeding;. This decrease in 
oats is attributable chiefly to the lessening influence of the great 
landlords on the character of the crops sown; oats being demanded 
by the landlords for feeding horses and for export. It will be noted 
tnat in old Serbia where the feudal system had been abolished before 
the war, there is an increase in the acreage in oats in 1922 over that 
of 1921.

There has been a steady increase in the areas planted to corn since 
1920, except in Slovenia, where corn does not thrive particularly 
well, and in Montenegro, where there has been a general slump in 
cereal cultivation. This increase is particularly noticeable in Croatia 
and Yoivodina, the great wheat-growing districts. In 1022 a sharp 
increase in corn planting was to be expected to counterbalance the 
shortage of the fall seeding of wheat in 1921; nevertheless thei 
an indication of permanency in this increase of corn area at the 
expense of the other cereals. In Croatia and Voivodina the targe 
tea are being broken up and divided anion*;: the peasants, wno 
ape greatly increasing the numbers of their livestock, especially 
swine, thereby increasing the demand for corn for stock teed
