. NACELHEADS BODY TOBOOSTFARNERS “Business Men’s Commission on Agriculture” Is Formed As Independent. The first actual move in the formu- lation of a committee to devise a na- tlonal program of co-operation be tween American business and_Amer- iean agriculture was announced joint- Iy today by the National Industrial ‘onference Board and the Chamber of ommerce of the United States in announcing that Charles Nagel, ‘ormer Secretary of Commerce and .abor has accepted the chairmanship «f the “Business Men’s Commission on _Agriculture.” At the root of the conditions bring- 11,z the commission into existence, an oflicial statement indicated, was the problem presented by the change of the United States from a dominant szricultural nation to an increasingly industrial and commercial one and the consequent lack of comparative pros- perity on the farms. 'Will Shape Program. Tn the official statement, the pur- pose of the commission is outlined as being to formulate “a national pro- gram for co-operation of all economic zroups in protecting the permanent national interest in a sound and pros- perous agriculture.” Studies and inquiries made by the Industrial Conference Board and the Chamber of Commerce have convinced Tioth organizations of the need of pro moting a broad and far-sighted na- tional agricuitural policy, the state ment points out. These studies are now followed by the joint creation, under the auspices of these national -gencies, of a commission “which will seek to bring to bear upon the agri- cultural situation the experience and judgment of every important element in our national economy.” The goal 3s a well balanced national economic development. The statement says, in part: “The farming industry as a whole meams not to have been as prosperous as other occupational groups since the T'nited States began to change from a dominantly agricultural to an increas- ingly Industrial and commercial na- tion. This has created a situation which forms one of our most difficult economic problems and can not be neglected without inviting serious con- sequences to our national economic progress. For Sound Agriculture. “Wae need to develop and insure a sound national agriculture that will progress in full harmony with indus- try and commerce toward greater na- tlonal economic strength and pros-| | perity.” The full membership of the commis- sion is to be announced at an earl te. The commission is to be an en ely independent body® Its head- ‘quarters will be in New York. Hear- ings and conferences will also be held, however, in other important centers. Leaders in every fleld of business and agricultural activity and noted au- thorities in political economy will be consulted by the commission. SHOWING BY LAKE PORTS IN WATER-BORNE GOODS 210,300,000 Tons of Such Com- merce Handled in 1925—Duluth ARMY HOSPITALS ADMIT 117,673 PATIENTS IN YEAR Walter Reed Had 6,726 On Daily Average of 964, Surgeon General Reports. During the last fiscal year 117,673 patients were admitted to Army hos- pitals according to Surg. Gen. Ireland in his annual report, an increase of 1,139 compared with the preceding year. The total admissions were made up of 87,367 military, 10,242 beneficiaries of the Veterans' Bureau and 20,064 Government oyes, de- pendents of military pe: nel and members of various classes\of train- ees. The total admissions at Walter Reed General Hospital, this city, were 6,726, a number exceeded only at the station hospital at Fort Sam Houston, Tex., which reported 7,210 admissions. The average daily number of patients at Walter Reed General Hospital was and Superior Making Record. The port of Duluth, Minn., and Superior, Wis., handled 45,600,000 tons of water’borne commerce in 1925, giv- ing it second rank among ports of the United States—New York being first— in total tonnage handled, according to figures compiled by the Bureau of Re- search of the Shipping Board. In 1925 Great Lakes ports handled 210,300,000 tons of frelght, an increase ot 31,000,000 tons, or 11.8 per cent, over the previous vear, and nearly 44 per cent of the total water-borne com- merce jof the country. Dulth-Superior and 15 other Great Takes ports in the 5,000,000-ton class did business in 1925 aggregating more than 00,000 tons. The 197.500.- 000 tons of coastwise commerce of lakes ports excecded the total coast- wise trade of ocean ports by more than 30,000,000 cargo tons, and the 12,800,000 tons of forelgn commerce constituted 13.8 per cent of the total foreign commerce of the United States.

He says further that the extensive and varied clinical material was utilized freely in the practical Instruction of students in the various schools at the Army medical center. The report shows that the highest admission rate in the Army from all causes was for the Porto Ricans in Panama, the second for the white en- listed men in the Philippines and the lowest rate for the Filipinos. The lowest admission rate at posts in the United States, was at Washington Barracks, D. C., and the highest at Fort Slocum, N. Y. COAL OUTPUT AT PEAK. Figures for Two Days Last Week Indicate Another Reeord. Production of soft coal for several weeks past, stimulated in the United States by the British mine strike, topped all previous records during the week ended November 20, when 14, 253,000 tons were produced. High as the production was then, preliminary returns for the first two days of last week indicate that the record is likely to be broken again. THE EVENING BTAR, WASHINGTON, D. T.
