In Table 16 it is assumed that on the average the cattle of Hun- 
gary consumed yearly about 10.8 bushels of corn per head except 
in Slovakia and Ruthenia, where cattle and sheep are fed barley in 
lieu of corn, and Voivodina, where more corn is fed than in other 
districts. The ration fed to swine was reckoned at about 14.4 
bushels per head per year (about 2.2 pounds per day) and presumes 
that two-thirds oi the swine in the country are permanently on feed 
except in Voivodina where larger amounts of corn are fed swine 
and sheep. Sheep are reckoned to eat 7.2 bushels of corn per head 
per year, assuming that one-fourth of the sheep of the country are 
continuously on grain feed.

♦ SURPLUS PRODUCTION -DEFKiT PRODUCTION 
Fig. 5. — Average production of com, 1911-1915, balanced against consumption. The numbers represent 
thousands of bushels. The amount of the deficit or the exportable surplus of each district is the alge- 
braic sum of the plus and minus numbers within the boundaries of that district. The solid Mack areas 
roughly outline the regions in which most of the export corn originated. The shaded areas outline 
those regions whose combined surplus was sufficient to cover the local domestic deficits within the 
frontiers of the old Kingdom of Hungary. These deficit regions are roughly outlined by the unshaded 
areas. This map accompanies Table 16. 
It is probable that less corn was fed to livestock in Slovakia and 
that more was fed in Voivodina than the calculated amounts given 
above would indicate. That is to say, in Slovakia barley is a more 
usual hog feed than corn. These are the best figures available, and 
although only rough approximations, they are given for what they 
are worth. The same holds true in the balances for barley, oats. 
beets and potatoes. 
In the districts other than Slovakia and Voivodina the surpluses 
and deficits are probably fair approximations of the facts. In 
addition to the ar>ove amounts of corn fed to livestock, about 
5,151,000 bushels were used for industrial purposes. Thus we have 
a total of .5,351,000 bushels of corn as the average statistical net 
surplus during the period 1911-1915. During this period the actual 
foreign trade of Hungary in corn was as follows:
