Note that since 1910 crop production has more than kept pace with the increase in population. In the ’80’s we exported the equivalent of about 650 economic crop units per capita (in this we convert pork exports into corn), which left, roughly, 4,500 economic crop units per capita for home consumption. In the fiscal year ending June 30, 1919, we exported about 750 economic crop units per capita, which left, roughly, 4,500 economic crop units of the 1918 crop for home consumption. During the decade ending 1919 there has been an average of about 4,800 economic crop units per capita left for home consumption. It was probably necessary to retain more economic crop units per capita at home during the last decade than during the ’80’s, because of the smaller live stock production per capita.
