Status of Plans
For Potato Acreage

Wakefield, Mass, March 25 -
Numerous current reports from
farmers throughout the country indi-
cate their present intention to In
crease the potato acreage 1890 over
last year. These intentions from
farmer to farmer and from state to
state are by no means uniform, In
comparison with some earlier "in-
tentions' they show clearly that
present plans are not final but SUBJ
Ject to much change as the situation
progresses. However, this reflection
OF the trend and progress to date
may be helpful to New England far.
mers, but keep in mind that il is of
changing intentions.
In New England Maine intends TO
cut her acreage to $500 of last year
and Connecticut to sac. while New
hampshire expects 1900; Vermont
lllfc; Massachusetts 103G and
Rhode Island no change. The six
states combined, upon this basis.
would have $3.50 of the total acre
age last year. Maine growers are
realizing good prices from the 1925
crop and have strengthened their nm
ancial position, through a sounder
policy of economy. Bad weather last
fall prevented the usual, large amount
OF fali blowing. Sales of fertilizer for
the crop are less than usual. There
Is some talk of selling holdings of
certined seed and either reducing
acreage or planting lower-cost seed,
Old potatoes are moving freely at
good prices and likely to 20 out yerv

the best seed is likely to be a costly
step backward.
Plans for potatoes in Connecticut
are tied up in a measure with plans

the beginning of records in 1882 be-
ing free of lynchings and Utah hav-
ing its first occurrence of the kind
since 1884.
During the past year five states
which had previously been on the
honor roll. namely: Arkansas, Ohio,
Virginia, Alabama and Utah, lost
their places because of mob murder
within their borders" the committee
declared.
-Four states, Illinois, Kentucky.
South Carolina and Tennessee, which
had been on the roll in former years,
were restored because their borders
were free of lynching in 1925"
The councils roll of honor follows:

record of lynching: Massachusetts,
New Hampshire, Rhode Island and
Vermont. Additional states that
have no record of a lynching since
