ONE OF THE FINEST.
A New Variety Added to the Dakota

County Farmer.

- T. II
Potato Family by Stutsman
County Farmer.
The two first premiums for potatoes
given at the North Dakota fair were
awarded to George Elliott Of Spiritwood
Stutsman county. The blue ribbons
were for the best ''new variety" and best
seedlings. They were the only two first
premiums gwen to the same person on
the same class of articles and Mr.. Elliott
has the distinction of thus adding new
and splendid variety to the tuber family

crop.
Not every one knows how new variety

aware Of the time, patience and labor
required in getting new esculent ready
for planting or the market Mr.. Elliott
has been five years experimenting and
cultivating the various crops which led
up to his perfect vegetables that captur-
ed the first prize at Grand Forks.
He obtained the seed in a small paper
packet, which had some five years ago
been received from the Department Of
Agriculture at Washington. The only
information which the package bore was
that the seeds were hybridized from cross
ing the pollen of four different varieties

About the Nominee for Attorney.
The nomination Of Hon. johnson Nick
Gus by democratic convention has Gre
ated, or at least has been blown into, the
biggest local political sensation that has
occurred for some time. The pecuiarities
of the situation are several and all have
been most studiously disclosed. It is
we'll know that Mr.. Nickeus is a candi-
date for the nomination Of district at
torney before the republican convention.
It is also we'll known that strong op-
position to Mr.. Nickeus' candidacy has
developed IN the republican ranks.
With these distinctions or facts well in
view the reader can easily see the posi-
ton in which the republican and demo-
cratic organizations and MI. Nickels and
his opponents find themselves as result
of this nomination.
The fact that the democratic conven-
tion is held some three weeks before the
republicans hold theirs, complicates the
case and leaves some grounds for the
claims that Mr.. Nickens' opponents are
making. MI. Nickeus was seen by an
Alert representative yesterday afternoon
after the convention and in reply to an
inquiry as to what he proposed to do in
regard to the nomination and how he re-
earded it, replied:
II have not yet decided whether will
accept or decline the nomination. am,
however, a republican and no delegate
who voted for me in that convention did
30 with any other idea than that am q
republican. No Office in the territory
from that OF governor down would be an
inducement for me to change my politics.
As to the nomination: / regard that SIM
ply a. democratic Endorsement OF a re-
publican candidacy The democracy
found themselves expected to nominate
county ticket and had no democratic
attorney in the county. In this contin-
gency my democratic friends,in an effort
to aid me,placed my name on their tick
ct"
Mr.. Nickeus is mistaken in the asser-
ton that there are no democratic attor-
neys in the county. There are two, but
it is probably true, however, that neither
would accept the nomination.
Among the gentlemen who are oppos-
ing Mr.. Nickeus,t the events Of yesterday
are interpreted in very different light.
The rumor was assiduonsly circulated

North Dakota Fair Notes.

President Wade delivered the opening
address at the fair. The speech was gem
erously applauded, and is fully reported
in the Herald, occupying nearly
four columns of the paper. President
Wade seems to be giving the best OF sat
isfactlon in his position as president Of
the fair. He is rustler and no mistake.
Herald: The finest display made by an
individual farmer in vegetables, grasses
and grain is made by J. B. Power. He
has five different varieties of fodder corn
and as many varieties of npened corn.
The southern ensilage corn, cut on the
LIST o; September, deserves special mem
ton. Power has twenty five acres aver
aging eight tons to the acre and ten and
q half feet high. Dakota farmers VIII do
well to study this matter of corn fodder.
The common Nuremberg grass is shown
IN a pretty specimen. 1t has been pro-
nounced by three competent authorities
to be three times more nutritive than
timothy. The object Of Mr.. Power in
making this display is to induce other
farmers to follow suit.

RAISE FINE TOBACCO F.!

Every planter knows it does not pay to
raise common tobacco the markets of the
world are overstocked and there is not
demand for it. 1t should be the aim of
every farmer then to raise fine tobacco,
and in order to do this successfully he
must plant his best lands, prepare and
manure we'll, and use judiciously the very
best Tobacco Fertilizers to be had. For the
past fifteen years no Fertilizer has been
sold upon this market that has given such
fiatteriuS results and made half as much
fine tobacco as Ober's Special Tobacco
Compound. 1t has stood the test year in
and year out, wet or dry, and never disap-
points you. a large supply on hand.

sufficient amount of those essential elements

efforts and ability enough? Do we take
hold and put our shoulders to the wheel as
we should? 1t is useless for people OF

capitalists do not show their faith by in

Plant a Small Crop of Tobacco.

The Danvi1Ie Southern Tobacco journal.
commenting on the outlook of the coming
tobacco crop, does not believe the tendency
is toward a large one, and says:
When ever our planters thoroughly I'M
destand the lesson that big crops mean low
prices and small crops high prices, not so
much because an overcrop means an over
supply, but because small crop means
good tobacco and good tobacco means good
prices, then a brighter day will dawn for
our tobacco interests. This year we look
for moderate size crop in Virginia and
North Carolina and we look for better to-
bacco from it than is usually grown in
these sections 1t has been hard lesson
for our farmers to learn but they are grad
ually cropping towards its conception and
we believe that the crop OF 1883 will show
up even better than the one OF 1887 pro
vided all other things are equal.
Let our planters here in the Golden Belt
stick to their present plans to plant an
average size crop-work it well-make il
good, and next fall will see prices away
up in the paying figures
