DEFICIT PRODUCTION 
Fig. 7.— Average production of oats, 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 algebraic 
sum of theplus andminus numbers within the boundaries of that district. The solid black areas roughly 
outline the regions in which most of the export oats 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 22. 
In estimating :ats consumption for horses the Hungarian Govern- 
ment employed the norm of 2.2 pounds per day per head except in 
Slovakia where oats were fed to other animals. 
It is evident that in oats-deficit districts, as Croatia-Slavonia and 
the Banat, that oats are fed only to horses and that corn and barley 
are used as substitutes for oats as horse feed to as great an extent as 
possible. Also it is probable that in oats-excess producing districts 
the locally produced oats are fed to animals other than horses rather 
than corn and barley should be imported as stock feed from other 
districts. For example, the Rumanian Government estimates that 
the consumption of oats in Transylvania is about 105 pounds per 
capita of population per year; this would be equivalent to 33 bushels
