AGRTCTT.Tr-RAT, SURVEY OF EUROPE I GERMANY

It is probable that these shipments of rye from Russia greatly 
tended to reduce purchases of rye from the United States by Ger- 
many. Our exports to Germany decreased from 36,000,000 bushels 
in 1922-23 to 7,000,000 bushels during 1923-24. 
During the season 1924-25 poor crops in Russia practically elimi- 
nated this source of German supply. A poor crop yield at home, 
together with the increase in population, raised Germany's rye 
requirement (calculated on a basis of normal consumption) to about 
40,000,000 bushels over the previous year. During the first six 
months from July 1 to December 31, 1924, Germany imported 
11,000,000 bushels of rye from the United States, as compared with 
about 5,000,000 bushels during the corresponding period in 1923, 
indicating that we were again taking Russia's place in the German 
rye trade. All things considered, the rye trade of the United States 
with Germany is destined to diminish rapidly in proportion to the 
recovery of the rye area and production in Germany and to a lesser 
extent to the recovery of Russia, Germany's normal source of rye 
supply.
