Number of People
Hospitalized Last
Year at New High
Chicago U.R) More Am
ericans were hospitalized last
year than ever before. ... .
The American Medical Asso
ciation's council of medical ed
ucation and hospitals says the
6,637 United States hospitals
registered with the council in
1951 admitted 18,237,118 pa
tients. . j '
The average daily census was
1,293,658 patients. The rate of
admittance was one patient ev
ery 1.7 seconds.
In 1950, the former peak
years. 17,023,613 Americans
were . hospitalized.
Births Hit Peak
Births in hospitals in 1951 al
so hit a new mark. The Council
reported one birth every 10.7
seconds for a total of Z,998,37l
Nearly half 48 per cent
of last year s hospital capacity
went to mental patients. Gener
al hospital patients got 42 per
cent and tuberculosis six per
cent. t
Federal, state and local gov
ernments controlled three out of
every 10 hospitals and provided
seven out of every 10 beds
Three out of every four admis
sions were to non-governmental
institutions.
That was because patients in
government hospitals stayed
longer.
The nation's hospital facilit
ies last year were at a record
peace-time high, the council
says. Bed space was available
for 1,529,988 patients.
Stays Grow Shorter
The average stay per patient
last year in general hospitals
as a whole .was 10.1 days, a rate
that has been fairly constant for
the last three years. .
As late as 1945, the average
stay was 15.9 days.
The average stay in govern
mental general hospitals was 17
days, compared with 7.7 days
in non-governmental general
hospitals..
State hospitals maintained the
highest bed occupancy rates
94.5 per cent because of the
prolonged hospitalization nec
essary for medical patients.
The report also showed 216,
047 graduate nurses employed
by hospitals last year, compar
ed with 205,389 in 1950.

Nitrogen Makes Grass
Unpalatable to Cows
Lincoln, Neb. (U.R) Brome
grass which has been fertilized
with a high rate of nitrogen
seems to be unpalatable to cat
tle, according to experiments at
the University of Nebraska col
lege of Agriculture.
The tests showed that dairy
calves readily will eat grass
which has been fertilized with
70 and 140 pounds of nitrogen
per acre. They seem to shun
the grass which has been treated
with 350 and 740 pounds per
acre.
I. L. Hathaway of the dairy
department said the cattle in
the highly fertilized plots have
clipped the unfertilized fence
row grass closely. He said none
of the calves have got sick from
the highly fertilized grass but
they seem to dislike it.
