Abstract
AN elaboration of statistical material touching the production and yield conditions in Czechoslovakian agriculture is set forth in this volume. The material is based on returns from 1652 farms for the years 1909–1913, and contains, on one hand, deductions from the statistical material published in Part I. with comparisons from a territorial point of view, and on the other hand, a critical consideration of the data from the point of view of representative investigations. The question brings into relief the changes in the organisation of farms and the results of their workings in the case of transition from the intensive and highly developed western methods to the extensive system as now practised in Czechoslovakia. The deductions arrived at from the various points of view form a basis for measures of practical and economic policy (for example, customs, finance) and for scientific purposes, and so on. The published material also has a historical significance, for it shows farming conditions as they existed before the great changes produced by the War. The data, as worked up, provide a basis for various economic calculations, as they represent stabilised and normal relations both in regard to prices and methods of farming, and the method of presentation makes it possible to use the material in the case of changing price conditions. It is claimed that this published statistical material will remain a basic and firm starting-point for the study of what is translated as the “dynamic economic phenomena”. For convenience of reference the critical examination of the data by Dr. Stanislav Kohn is given in French and German as well as Czech, similar treatment being given to the introduction, chapter headings, and certain tables.
