The statement that there Is plenty
Of rye and barley in France. which has

"It is not only wheat that is short In
France. but all cereals. According TO
official figures, the annual consumption
Of barley in France before the war was
approximately 100000 tons. IS per
cent OF which was imported. Produc-
tion has fallen of so that nearly one
third Of the barley had to be imported
In France last year.
"The normal consumption OF rye Is
about the same as for barley, but nor
NAL imports are only about s per cent.
In 1915 the production was about 400-
600 tons under normal and no imports
were available.
Italy Worse or Than France.
'The annual consumption Of corn av-
erage 1,1500Oo tons, about one-half be-
ing imported. The proportion Of Inn
ports in 1916 had risen to two-thirds.
"The annual consumption Of oats
before the war was 5,5o0000 tons, of
which 100000 tons we're imported. In
1916 these imports rose TO over 1,000.-
700 tons and the stock was still 5o0,-
100 tons short
