BULLETIN 1234, U. S. DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE. 
Employing the same consumption norm as in the foregoing esti- 
mates, we have the following balance in 1921 : 
Statistical rye balance for crop of 1921.

Production 23 . 176 . 594

Indicated statistical surplus available for export based on pre-war con- 
sumption norms 7,913, 702 
During the period from July 1, 1921 to June 30, 1922, Hungary 
exported the following: 
Exports and imports of rye, Hungary, July 1, 1921 to June SO, 19i 
Exported to: Bushels. 
Austria 2, 555 , 742 
Czechoslovakia 718, 495 
Yugoslavia 20.471 
Switzerland 7 , 822 
Other countries 5, 307 
Total exports 3 , 307 . S37 
Imported from Rumania and other countries 7. 106 
Net exports 3.300.731 
Thus Hungary had a statistical surplus of 4,612,971 bushels more 
rye for export from the crop of 1921 than was exported during 
the period July 1, 1921 to June 30, 1922. This is 75 per cent of 
the shortage in exportable wheat, so that it is probable that Hungary 
has been substituting rye for wheat and so entered the 1922-23 
crop year with low stocks of bread cereals. 
WHEAT AND RYE SITUATION IN 1922. 
The production of wheat and rye reported for 1922 was 4,000,000 
bushels more than for 1921; with an estimated exportable surplus 
of about 4,000,000 bushels greater than the preceding season or 
14,313,000 as shown in Table 15.

No report on Hungary's foreign trade in wheat and rye for the 
year 1922-23 is available at this time. 
Note. — The consumption norms employed in the above balances are ap- 
proximately the same as those that have been employed by the Hungarian and 
Austrian Governments; but these balances as applied to the conditions of any 
one year must be very broadly interpreted, as brought out in Table 48, page 38.
