In Ruthenia, as in Slovakia, the cereal area has been greatly 
decreased by the economic changes of the war period, and there has 
been a corresponding substitution of other crops. With the addition 
of fallow land the total cultivated area is even greater than before the 
war. There has been an increase in forage plants, meadows and 
pastures, and in land classed as unproductive, and there is an increase 
m the total of the statistically reported area. 
It is reported that there have been great increases in livestock in 
this part of the Republic, but actual statistics demonstrating the fact 
are lacking. Most of the data relative to this territory are fragmen- 
tary and unsatisfactory. Estimating the live animals of Ruthenia in 
the same manner as given on page 89 for Slovakia, there were, 
in 1911, 23,326 horses, 273,755 cattle, 51,601 swine, and 107,762 
sheep. The figures published by Czechoslovakia as the 1920 enumera- 
tion of livestock are identically the same as the figures for the same 
area calculated from the census of 1911. 
RUTHENIAN PRE-WAR WHEAT AND RYE BALANCE. 
Certain of the peoples living in the far-eastern end of Czecho- 
slovakia in the Carpathian Mountains consume considerable quantities 
of corn-meal rnush in place of wheat or rye. The average per capita 
cereal diet of all the Ruthenians is approximated to be: 
Pounds annually. 
Wheat '. , 1 76 
Rye 66 
Corn 110
