565 The personnel of the Benedictine Abbeys were recruited from certificated agriculturists. The recruitment practices were uniformly regulated in 1892 in all of the Abbeys, and from the next year on tables of qualification were made of every employee once in every five years. Vacancies were filled from the raks of the clerks already longer serving the Order, and it was considered desirable to employ them as they mounted the steps of estate administration hierarchy in as many localities and branches of production as possible, to facilitate their overall familiarity with the farming of the estate. The subscription of the relevant professional journals and the contact with other estates served to enhance the professional knowledge of the estate staff. There are rather early data on the regulation of not just the wages and salaries, but of their pensions as well. The ranking of the leading officers of the estates and their salaires were fixed in the Abbeys at the beginning of the 1870's, the regulation of pensions came into force in 1879 — latter was the result of a number of earlier attempts. An important further step was the ordinance of the Chief Abbot in 1934 concerning ranking, pay and fringe benefits (depending in part on familial circumstances) of the staff employees. Beside the estate officers educated in schools of agriculture a professionally schooled controlling organ of members of the Order developed from the end of the 1910's: these members of the Order acquired the necessary knowledge of husbandry and forestry in Sopron, Magyaróvár and at the Budapest universities.

The MIR leased the entailed large estate of Prince Este^há^y which exceeded fourty-four thousand cadastral acres. This large estate was the most important basis of the Hungarian sugar-beet growing; the MIR set up the sugar factory in 1893-94 and the mill in 1916 there. The agricultural products of the large estate, namely, sugar beet and grain were processed in the mill and the sugar factory of the MIR; and after it the refined products were sold in the domestic as well as the international markets. Further on, the author confines himself to focus on the living and working conditions of the administrative employees, the technical intellectuals and managers in the sugar factory in Kaposvár.
