WASHINGTON, May 1.-To make available quickly an appropriation for food survey, the department of agri- culture today asked and the senate and house agricultural committees agreed to have the administration food control legislation re-intrCd duced in congress in separate bills.
 One measure, expected to pass with out delay, will carry $25,000,000 ap- propriation for the survey and will pro- vide for enlarging the departments staff to permit supervision of seeding operations; another will include pro- visions for licensing and controlling storage and distributing concerns. Tie latter probably will meet with consid- erable opposition.
 Both the house and senate commit tees continued hearings today. Secre- tary Houston. before the house com mittee, outlined the government's s price-fixing measures to be written later.
 Governor Frazier of North Dakota told the senate committee he believed farmers of his state would not oppose minimum price-fixing. Prices have , been set by gamblers, he said, and far mers, he thought, would not object to i the government fixing them if prices are made fair and equitable.
 The federal trade commission again l heard representatives of state food boards on food conditions throughout the country. Most of the delegates
 blamed high prices on middlemen | Some said a labor shortage had mucf

WASHINGTON, May 1.-The united States stands ready to send an army to Europe whenever the allies deem II wise to divert the necessary shipping from transporting food to transporting men.
 It became known definitely today that the government naS offered the allies troops, but has suggested that the alarming shortage of world shlp- ping may make it impractical to send them at once. In spite of objections ol the general staff to putting any Amer ican forces on the firing line before the great war army has been raised and trained, the administration has deter mined that the small contingent earn estly desired by France for moral et- feet shall be sent as soon as possible. The general belief here is that the way soon will be found.
 Whether the force first to carry the stars and stripes into battle n France shall be made up of regulars or national guardsmen or both, has not been worked out The subject was not dis cussed at today'S cabinet meeting but Secretary Baker remained afterward for a conference with President Wilson,
 State department officials have con- tinuously urged the sending of an army solely for it's psychological effect, moi only in encouraging the allied troops
