against net exports is given in u Das Osterreichische Ernahrungs- 
problem" prepared by the Austrian Food Ministry, based upon 
the records for 1909-13, is as follows: 
Average wheat and rye balance in terms of flour. 
Short tons. 
Net production (harvest less seed) 4, 112, 771 
Received through customs houses (net) 89, 931 
Total 4, 202, 702 
Shipped to old Kingdom of Austria 1, 349, 566 
Total Hungarian consumption 2, 853, 136 
Average vearlv per capita consumption of wheat and rve flour in 
Hungary. Population 20,886,487 * lbs__ 273. 2 
Consumption per capita per day ozs__ 12 
The Hungarian Department of Agriculture calculated their yearly 
per capita consumption to be: 
Wheat 292.6 poundsX0.75= 219.4 pounds wheat flour. 
Rye 79.2 poundsX .75= 59.4 pounds rye flour. 
Total 278.8 pounds wheat and rye flour. 
The average difference between Austrian and Hungarian estimates 
is 6 pounds per capita per year. However, the yearly variation in 
consumption (includes hold-over stocks) was very marked as brought 
out in Table 48 from Austrian sources: 
Table 48. — Resume of the old Hungarian Kingdom: Production, import, and 
export of wheat, rye, and flour, 1909-1913.
