BULLETIN 1234, U. S. DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE. 
THE WHEAT AND RYE SITUATION IN 1923. 
The net importation of wheat and wheat flour (calculated to a 
wheat basis) during the first four months of 1923 was 2,966,000 
bushels, or about 464.000 bushels less than the average for the first 
four months of the preceding year. This is not strange, as there 
was still an unconsumed statistical surplus of about 2,700.000 bushels 
of wheat on hand January 1, 1923. 
Before the war Czechoslovakia exported about 2,100,000 bushels 
of rye yearly. Beginning with 1923, rye exportation is being resumed. 
During the" first four months of the current year net exports of rye as 
grain and flour amounted to 440,000 bushels (see Table 94), although 
in Table 92 a statistical deficit of nearly 5,000,000 bushels is indicated. 
Estimates received through the International Institute of Agri- 
culture place the bread-cereal acreage and production of Czechoslo- 
vakia for 1923 at:

Both wheat and rye acreages in 1923 are somewhat below those 
reported for last season, but the crops are better than last year.
