Original data in metric quintals multiplied by the Austrian factors — wheat to wheat flour, 0.762; rye to 
rye flour, 0.720. Product converted to barrels by multiplying by the factor 1Q6 • 
Austria imported relatively much larger amounts of wheat in 
1921 than she did the preceding year, and her consumption per 
capita was increasing rapidly. Dividing the total flour require- 
ment in pounds by the population gives 185 pounds as the average 
or statistical per capita consumption in 1921, but the consumption 
as a matter of fact, averaged more than that. If we add the 
2,268,000 barrels excess imports to the average post-war (1919-1921) 
requirement of 5,788.000 barrels and divide the sum by 6,132,000 
we have 257 pounds as the yearly per capita consumption. 
INCREASED PER CAPITA CONSUMPTION OF BREAD. 
In estimating the per capita consumption for the years 1922-1926 
the Austrian Department of Agriculture proposes to employ the 
consumption of 344 pounds or 1.75 + barrels per capita per year; which 
is still 15 pounds below pre-war normal. The population figure 
that will be used will be 6,500,000. This increased population 
includes that of Burgenland.
