Reduce Size of Timber in Order to Speed Up Production of Ships Washington, March 13.—Reduc tion in ship timber sizes used in woodem construction in the South was authorized to-day by the Ship ping Board to expedite construction. John H. ICirby, of Houston, Texas, vice-president of the Southern Pine Association, has been named to take a survey of pine forests to determine the amount of material available for wooden ships as a further step to Increase the output. Under the old specifications, few trees could be found in Southern forests sufficiently large to cut the heavier pieces and 2,300 cars of fir were ordered from the Pacific coast for southern yards. Officials hope thit the changes will speed up construction so that additional contracts may be placed, but it is not their intention to un-. dertake further building until the present delay program has been put forward. Mr. Kirby's appointment is part of the shipping board's general plan of taking stock of shipbuilding re sources throughout the United J. H.

"To meet the situation, and the opportunity , the week of March 18-25 should see not less than 5,000 tons of clothing collected through out the United States and on its way to the Commission warehouses." FARMERS HELD THEIR POTATOES Expected to Get High Prices and Now Have Great Supply on Hand Waynesboro, Pa., March 13. is reported that there are hundreds of bushels of potatoes In the hand* of fanners along the Blue Ridgo mountains and other places. The reason for this is attributed to the re fusal of the farmers to sell their" crop at from $1.25 to $1.40 per bush el last fall and early winter, because tney wanted more money and ex pected to get It. The average house- ? r J n this vicin 'ty made up his mind that ho would not pav an ex-* horbltant price for the tubers, and passed them up. Many residents hero had contracted for their winter sup ply at $1.35 per bushel and the farmers promised to deliver them at that price, but believing they would be able to get a better price shortly afterward, they never lived up to their contracts and the potatoes were not delivered. Some of the farmers are now angry at the food adminis trators for their oversupply of po tatoes on hand.
