As far as I saw, all the harvesting was done with a cradle. Saw threshing machine at one place. (Dr. von Degen told me that they could not use agricultural machinery because they had no one to repair it.) These are some very large continuous fields.
There are alternating long strips of corn, oats & wheat, - 4 - 10 rows of sheaves to a strip. 
Looks well everywhere as far as yield goes.
In the Austrian part there are no houses on the farms, as in Hungary. 
We passed a great cemetery on N. side at 6.33 PM, - with large church. Reached Vienna at [[strikethrough]] 6.05 + [[/strikethrough]] 6.40 [[strikethrough]] PM [[/strikethrough]] P.M., & at once took car for Pelikangasse
