AMERICAN BOARD WILL PRE-. SENT DEMAND TO BRITISH
 AT ONCE.
WOULD ADVANCE FUNDS
Pre- sent Law May Be Invoked To End Alleged Discrimination Against American Vessels-Retaiiation
 is Possible.

Washington. Shipping Board rep shipowners in London soon in an ef- fort to obtain fair treatment for American merchant vessels in trade privileges in foreign ports. In mak- ing this announcement the board said Captain Ferries. the district manager a. London. has been instructed to make strong representations particu- larly against discrimination In con- tracts for carrying Egyptian cotton to British and American ports.
 It is considered probable, however, that the conference will have q still broader aspect, and that the board will insist that it's vessels have equal footing with British ships in the port of all classes of freight.
 The board is understood to have complained to British shipping lines that American vessels have been de- nied cargoes of Egyptian cotton, al though in many instances their bids were lower than those of British ships which got the contracts. Cap. tain Ferries is understood to have in structions not only to protest against such discrimination. but to insist that half of both the direct and the indirect cotton shipments be carried in Ameri- can bottoms.
 In negotiating with British snip ping interests, officials here say, the board probably will take the position that if its vessels are not assured fair treatment it may be deemed advisable to invoke retaliatory measures as pro- vided for by the merchant marine act,
 Chairman Lasker has discussed with Eugene Meyer. director of the War Finance Corporation. the provid ing of additional tonnage for Ameri can ships. MT. Lasker is said to have urged that the finance corporation in advancing funds for export of Ameri can godos stipulate that they be shipped in American vessels.

POLK FARMERS
ARE IN FIELDS
!. EARLY Seeding Gives Bright
Prospects For Bumper
s Crop In 1872.

Gtookston, MIMI, April Monday
oAw the first steps taken toward plant-
ing the Red River Valleys new wheat
crop when farmers throughout North
western Minnesota went into the fields
to begin seeding operations. With
the present unusually mild weather
continuing seeding operations in this
section should be general before the
end of the present week. Fields are
drying fast and farmers are assured
OF foodless conditions because of the
lack og snow.
Indications are that the outlook for
h ,1S21 rop is excellent. 1t is
claimed by agriculturists here that
the wheat crop will be about normal
this year with an increase in the
acreage Of oats, barley,ye and corn.
"A heavy corn, potato and clover crop
is also anticipated. One bright spot
pertaining to farm conditions this
yeas, from the viewpoint of the farm
er, is the labor situation. All reports
indicate that labor will be employed
by farmers in Northwestern Mime
sofa at a reduction of from 20 to 40
per cen from the cost last year. One
handicap however, may be a dry
spring as it is claimed there is at
present not enough moisture in the
ground to insure good growing condi-
lions. A soaking rain following seed
ing operations would mean consider
able to the farmers, they declare.
