BULLETIN 1234, U. S. DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE. 
The net exports of corn in 1921 was 126,158 bushels, or about half 
of the statistically indicated surplus. The surplus indicated for 1922 
is five times as large as that of the preceding year, but the amount 
employed as the average requirement fed to stock in 1922 is the same 
as was calculated for 1921, and does not take into account the pos- 
sible increases in livestock during the period July 1, 1922 to June 30, 
1923. It is well to note that the amount of corn fed to livestock in 
1921 was very much below the pre-war average.

The area under corn in 1921 was nearly equal to that of 1911-1915, 
but in 1922 there was a decrease of 21 per cent over the previous 
year. This falling off was counterbalanced by an increase in yield. 
But even though the indicated statistical surplus of 1,278,000 bushels 
in 1922 is more than the pre-war average of 1,186.000 bushels (see 
Table 16 s ) , it is no indication that the corn balance has reached normal. 
It is reported that the number of animals on feed has been increased. 
and the most recent consular report from Budapest states that the 
peasants are marketing their cattle on account of insufficient fodder 
and forage. The tendency has been to hold too many animals on feed. 
PRE-WAR BARLEY BALANCE OF THE DIFFERENT DISTRICTS OF 
OLD KINGDOM OF HUNGARY. 
Table 19, giving the average production, consumption, and surplus 
or deficit balance for barley for the period of 1911-1915, is based 
upon the amounts of barley fed to swine in all districts except Voivo- 
dina. where corn is used for feeding livestock.

It is assumed that 1G.72 bushels of barley per head pcrvear for 
one-third the total number of swine is consumed in the country, 
except in Slovakia where barley is fod to all classes of livestock in lieu 
of corn, in Croatia-Slavonia and Voivodina little or no barlev is fed
