..In The DAYS News. "

Albert B. Cummins, who is a candi-
date for denomination in today's Re-
publican primaries in Iowa, is complet-
ing his third term in the United States
senate. Senator Cummins has been
booked upon as leader in the pro-
gressive element of his party and has
taken a prominent part in national leg
islative affairs, particularly in the mat
ter of the governmental regulation OF
railroads, on which subject he is re-
garded as high authority. At times
he had a considerable backing for the
Republican presidential nomination, but
it never developed into any formidable
push for the place. Senator Cummins
is a Pennsylvania, who was educated
at an academy. studied surveying
Joined the staff of a railway in the in.
terror, and later studied law and set
tied in Chicago. Moving to Des MONIES
he won place in his profession and IN
politics that, decade later, landed hin
in the legislature, and later won hin
the governorship and ultimately seat
in the senate.

Bound to Beat Wood.
fRutland Herald.

The Burlington Free Press, comment
ing on the evident intent and desire of
the anti-Wood men in Vermont to send
an uninstructed delegation to Chicago,
makes this pointed remark:
''The trouble with this whole situation
is that an attempt is being made to use
the Wood organization for the promotion
of the candidacy of certain aspirant for
the governorship of Vermont. If Wood
can be traded for support in another di-
rection at home, what matters it whom
the people of Vermont want for the
presidency of the United States? Mani
testify we shall not get anywhere in direct
nominations for the presidency until the
people of Vermont elect their own dele
gates to the national convention"
This is aimed and pointed in some
specific direction. and it can only mean
that Col. John f. Paddock, chairman OF
the Republican state committee and po
litical adviser and close personal friend
OF Fred II. Babbitt, is accused of playing
politics for his principal with the Wood
sentiment in Vermont.
Frankly, The Herald does not believe
it. Col. Paddock offered to resign his pc
sition as chairman for fear that Rabbits
candidacy would be embarrassing to thu
state committee or for fear that the ext
gencies of the national campaign woult
be embarrassing to Babbitt. If Their,
has been any "monkeying' with tn

Plant Potatoes.
burlington Free Press.

burlington Free Press.l
Very few people are without land on
which a few rows of potatoes may be
grown, while host of people are in a
position to raise tubefs on generous
scale. Vermont is a potato producing
state, but conditions this season bid fair
to combine to make the shortage of this
crop verygserious. The backward season
shortage of help and the high cost of
seed will combine to discourage the cul-
tivation of potatoes, which have come to
rival bread in this region as the staff of
life.
This shortage of farm help is general
throughout the country. In many re-
Tgions farmers have been compelled to re-
duce their acreage of all cultivated crops
this season, and this is particularly true
|of the potato crop.
The bureau of crop estimates of the
United States department of agriculture
estimates that the total acreage of POI
tatoes planted this spring in the princi-
pal potato producing states will be about
II per cent less than that of last wear,
notwithstanding the high prices which
have prevailed for the 1919 crop The
bureau report says:
Reports indicate that. notwithstand-
| ing the recent high price, farmers in
nearly. all counties of the state still plan
to reduce the acreage of potatoes about
| 3 per cent below the acreage last year.
The decrease in Michigan is estimated at
! 10 per cent, in Wisconsin per cent, Min
nesota, ii per cent. In Maine the farmers
| would like to plant full acreage, but
the fertilizer supply is uncertain. The
total acreage of potatoes in New York
and these other leading potato states
which produce about two thirds of the
commercial crop of late potatoes, will BIZ
about per cent less than last year
1 These states taken together had Yields
per acre last year about the same as
their l0-year average, but the yield pei
laere in the country as whole was nearl,
Is per cent below the l0-year average"
/ Most people buy potatoes for thei
Town tables. If they will cut off small
lsections of the seed ends and plant tn
lsame, they will have considerable plant
ing at comparatively small expense 70
tseed and with little loss from their tabl
supply. Home gardens are fully as nee
essary now as during the war, and tn
1 saving in expense in the aggregat
throughout the country will be yer,
