in the territory liberated from Turkey than in Serbia itself. Comparisons

 losses in the war.

Suggestions regarding fall-sown crops, with notes on the live-stock situa-

In reviewing European wheat and rye requirements for 1919-20, reports by 

 representatives of the U. S. Grain Corporation and of the U. S. Department of 

 Agriculture who visited the principal countries of western and central Europe 

 the past summer are noted, but the discussion is based principally upon data 

 published by the International Institute of Agriculture. It is concluded that, 

 assuming that monetary exchange rates will not be prohibitive, it seems prob- 

 able that Europe will di-dw upon Canada, the United States, Argentina, and 

 Australia to supply its cereal import requirements, as the four countries 

 named are the only ones which have surpluses worth considering, and that 

 apparently the United States will be justified in undertaking to produce an 

 exportable surplus in 1920 of about 200,000,000 bu. 



Study is made of the acreage sown, production, consumption, and exports 

 for the last five years of the United States wheat crops, and of the acreage 

 sown to winter wheat in each State for the crops of 1915 to 1919, inclusive, 

 with the five-year average. The figures in the latter case show where the 

 greatest expansion in wheat acreage was made in the last few years, and where 

 growers should consider most seriously the question of readjustment of wheat 

 acreage. The rye crops of the United States are shown in a similar way. 

 Suggestions for preventing grain diseases, fall seeding of meadows and pas- 

 tures, and restoring crop rotations which may have been interrupted by the
