COTTON GROWERS WARNED NDT ID
 RAISE ACREAGE
Freezes Have Not Killed Weevil, and South Must Grow It's Food
 and Feed

Washington, Feb 2O.-':It is ex- tremely unwise for cotton farmers to assume that the freezes of the last few weeks have eliminated the cotton boil weevil," the department of agri- culture announced today in answer to many inquiries iron the south. Tkc department said 1t was to be hoped that planters would not be led into increasing their cotton acreage at the expense of raising foodstuffs, and thus not only fail in their patriotic duty but at the same time suffer fi- nancial loss from the boil weevil. The necessity for the South to produce it's own food this year was emphasized.
 Director General McAdoo has al- ready issued warning that transporta- tion difficulties in 1918 may make it difficult, if not impossible to sup ply food and feed promptly to com munities that neglect to provide their own necessities.

ADMINISTRATION IS
 FIGHTING BILLS ID
 RAISE WHEAT PRICE
Opposition is Based on Ground that z Action Would Upset Food
 Board Program.

Washington, Feb. 2O.-The full in- fluence of the administration $ to be used if necessary to prevent the enactment of bills, pending in con gress, to increase the price of wheat This became known today from an authoritative source.
 Opposition to the measures, another of which was introduced today by Representative Helvering of Kansas, is based on the ground that their pas sage would upset the entire wheat and bread program of the food ad- ministration and that President Will son already has full authority to read just the price, if it is found advisa- ble.
 Wheat is now selling on basis of S2.20 a lbushel, and the price is main tained by heavy government purchas' es for the army and navy and for the allies. The food administration has worked out scale of profits for mll- lers and distributors of flour on this basis. and bread is now selling at fixed price.

ALLIES SHIPPING
 HAS NOW PASSED
 ITS LOWEST POlNI
Will Increase From Now On. Is Ahead of Schedule
 Expected.

Washington, Feb. 20.--Overseas ship tonnage available to America and the allies passed is low point about February l, several weeks earlier than shipping experts had pre- dicted. Officials believe the upward curve will continue until the war IS ended, unless difficulties not now foreseen are encountered. In sup port of this belief attention is called today to the satisfactory result cb- tained in the campaign against enemy submarines, to the fact tnat govern ment ships now are coming from American shipyerds, and 10 the prog ress of negotiations ynore neuthal vessels to be used in the trans-Atlan- tic trade to relieve other shipping for overseas trade.
 When experts first plotted the curve of the tonnage supply, taking into consideration the greatest sue cess of submarines and all possible contingencies in the domestic situ- ation, they found that the rumher of vessels available for transporting troops and feeding the allies would be lower toward the end of this month than at any other period. Knowledge that the Germans sank about 5000, GOO tons of ships last year, nearly three times as much as was produced in Great Britain and the United States, did not change their estimate.

Washington, Feb. 20-DireCt meth ods of preferential coal distribution to supply first the requirements oi con- sumers whose needs are considered necessary in winning the war, and to curtail consumption by less essential industries will be instituted soon by the fuel administration.
 The program, outlined tonight by Fuel Administrator Garfield. calls for the division of all consumers into four classes, and for the creation of a pre- efrential board representing the fuel administration, the army and navy and the shipping board to pass on the im- pOrtance of consumers needs.
 Class one. which will get coal first, as contemplated by Dr. Garfield, would include consumers put in a preferen- tial list in the fuel administrators closing order of January 17. The list still is receiving preferential treat ment. but there ha sbeen no classifi- caticn of other consumers. It includes households, ships, railroads, public utilities and public institutions. Class two would include necessary war in- dustries, class three necessary peace mduatries and class four the so-called makers of luxuries
