Washington, Dec. 31.-Acting at the
direction of President Harding. Secre-
tary Wallace was extending invita-
tions today to farmers organizations
and representatives of Industries asso-
ciated directly or indirectly with agri
culture to attend a national confer
ence here. probably within month
to Suggest practical ways of i'm
provement" for 1.-The severe agricul-
tural depression which exists through
out the land"
The presidents request that such
conference be called was announced
yesterday in a letter to the secretary
in which he declared that while mo
one will pretend that the present
conditions could have been avoided.
none of US is willing to agree that
there ought not to be some correct
and constructive step taken to remedy
the severe hardshiDs under which so
important a portion of our productive
citizenship is struggling" He suggest
ed that the conference. for which no
date has yet been set nor a complete
invitation list made up. might divide
its work into two sections. one Tor
consideration of "our present day diff
f1culties" and the other to work out
general policies for the future.
%< Harding Issues Letter.
| The presidents letter reads:

try fnAy find Itself confronting new
cohd itions which may very directly in
4f1uence both our agricultural and in
:idustrial life. We should anticipate
such changes and endeavor to prepare
for them. 1t is unthinkable that with
our vast areas, our unparalleled en-
dowment OF agricultural resources,
our fertility of soil, our vast home

sourcefulness OF our farmers we
should accept the status of distinctly

Coal Suffers Further
Decline in Production

Figures compiled by the Geolog-
ical Survey show r further marked
drop in the production Of bitumi-
nous coal for the week ending Feb
ruary 10 The production for that
week amounted to only 7.472.o0o
tons. or nearly 100000 tons less than
the preceding week. In the corrc-
spending week in 1920 production
amounted to 9,513.OoO tons The
daily average production for the
week was l.245.Oo0 tons. which is
lower than for any period during
1920. even at the time of the switch
mems strike. Production is now
below the corresponding period for
1919. The cause of the drop in pro-
duction during recent weeks is al
most entirely due to lack of market.
Transportation and labor difficulties
have caused only a very slight loss
in production.
Production Of anthracite contin-
ues heavy. The output for the
week of February 10 amounted to
100000 tons compared with 2,O4s.-
900 tons in the preceding week and
100000 tons in the same week last
year.
