by Associated Press)

WASHINGTON. Jan. 21.-Formula-
ton of a policy for the development
and maintenance of an American
merchant marine "in spite of all diff
ficulties" brought to a close today the
second annual convention Of the Ma
tional Merchant Marine association.
The delegates also voted to send to
congress and the nation a message
expressing optimism over the future
of American shipping.
Discourage Trade Wars.
An evident desire prevailed in the
closing hours to discourage any ship
ping war with Great Britain or other
foreign nations and although no Of
Hffciaf commitment was made, three
speakers declared in favor OF friendly
cooperation" between the5 Ugtted
States and foreign shipping interests,
asserting that a trade war would re-
suit disastrously.
Eight resolutions embodying the as
sociations policy were unanimously
adopted. These proposed:
Immediate and faithful enforcement
of the merchant marine act of 1920.
Placing of the shipping board per-
sonnel on permanent basis, to pro-
mote a constructive administration.
Extend American Lines.
Extension of government to Amer
lean shipping to the end that their
vessels may operate in competition
with foreign ships in the same trades.
Construction of new mail, passen-
ger and cargo routes so that private
capital may eventually gain control,
dispIacing government ownership.
Cessation by shipping board of the
practices of allocating vessels to serv-
ices already established so that pri-
vate companies may have chance to
develop.
Creation of an equitable plan of re-
lief for American shippers engaged in
competitive trades with foreign ves-
sells throughh reduction of the ship
ping boards prices for its ships.
Naval Reserve Force.
Permanent enrolment of competent
officers and men of the merchant ma
rine into the naval reserve.
Maintenance of the Great Lakes
Naval Training Station.

Help Fight Weeds,
Urges Campaign Head

Crookston. Mimi, June 3D.. R.
Boyd, representative in this section Of
the state of the department OF agri-
culture in its statewide tight against
weeds in general, and the barberry
plant in particular, today met with a
number Of the local weed inspectors.
Mr.. Boyd stated, that reports from
counties were to the effect that they
were meeting with the fullest measure
Of cooperation upon the part Of the
farmers Of their sections in the en-
forcement OF, the newly created weed
law.
The loca! inspectors, stated Mr..
Boyd, have quite large territories to
cover. and he hoped that farmeAe in
terested in making the law beneficial
ly effective, would not stop at taking
care Of weeds on their, own lands but
would, as well, inform the local in
spectors Of places that were not BE-
ing taken care OF.
MI. Boyd also called attention to
the fact that the SOW thistle Is Just
nov starting to bloom. and within a
week Or ten days the majority Of the
patches will require moving in order
to prevent the weed from going to
seed.
Blanks for serving formal notices
have not as yet been received froaa
the department, but are expected to
VIII be served indiscriminately where
ever 1t may be found necessary.
Reports received by Mr.. Boyd show
that all counties In northwestern Min
nesota are vigorously going after the
BOW, thistle, and counties in the east
ern part of North Dakota are also
said TO be getting active.

PREDICTS PEAT
WILL BE USED IN
PLACE OF WOOD

St. Paul, MIMI June 2S.-with
approximately 5000, 900 acres Of peat
land in the, state, Minnesota has the
possibilities Of one OF the greatest
industries in the United States, w. r.
Cox, state forester, said today.
With the manufacture Of peat pro-
ducts the timber situation Of the state
would be materially benefited and the
rapidly decreasing supply q this
said Removal of peat from land
would permit the reforestratton Of
these areas, he said. The use of~this
peat would reduce the demand now
made on timber, as many Of the
wood products manufactured today
from Minnesota's diminishing supply
of timber. could Sc manufactured to
great advantage from the peat.
Peat will lend itself to the manu-
ton board, now extensively used in
building and finishing work, as 1t will
to the manufacture Of railroad ties
and a great variety Of chemicals, in
Guiding wood alcohol, acitated lime,
and oils and solidA
| Eventually railroad ties will be en-
trely manufactured from th!S peat
deposit now found SO abundantly in
the state, Mr.. Cox said.
The supply in the state is the CREST
est deposit in the country. 1t covers
approximately 100000 acres and
runs in depths varying from six to
ten feet. In many instances It is
found to reach a depth upward Of 40
feet, the forester said.
