SUMMARY OF WHEAT AND RYE BALANCE. 
Referring again to Tables 126 and 127 it will be seen that in 1921 
Yugoslavia had a statistical deficit of 4,000,000 bushels; whereas 
the pre-war annual surplus was 1,500,000 bushels in Yugoslavian 
territory as a whole. However, by correcting the foregoing table 
so as to include only half of the estimated deficit in Dalmatia, to allow 
for the districts occupied by the Italians, who must supply the food 
requirements of the populations, the theoretical deficit to be supplied 
by Yugoslavia is reduced to 2,334,000 bushels of wheat and rye. 
Although there was this theoretical deficit in 1921, the Inter- 
national Institute of Agriculture at Rome reported exports from 
Yugoslavia in that year as given in Table 128. The 1920 exports 
are shown for comparison. *

Second half of 1921 plus first half of 1922: Wheat 2,622,000 bushels, flour 1,783,000 bushels, total wheat 
export for fiscal year 1921-1922: 4,405,000 bushels. 
The exportation of over 4,000,000 bushels in the face of a theoret- 
ical deficit of 2,300,000 bushels needs some explanation. In the 
first place the people in the deficient districts, particularly in Monte- 
negro, Bosnia, Herzegovina, Dalmatia, 1 Slovenia, and the mountain 
sections of old and south Serbia, are not eating as much wheat as 
formerly. They are still subsisting on a reduced ration more nearly 
approximating their war allowance. They are also substituting corn 
meal and potatoes for the bread cereals. However, the chief expla- 
1 The American Consul at Belgrade states that buyers from Dalmatia have approached agents of Ameri- 
can companies in Belgrade, inquiring how they could import flour from America, since they were unable 
to obtain supplies from the surplus districts of Yugoslavia.
