"SPUD" GROWERS
GIVEN A "HUNCH'
Letter of P. Dahlman & Co., Urges
Langdon Potato Growers to Give
Crop Another Tria1

The firm of T. Dahlman & Co., of Cam
bridge, Mimi, who built potato ware
house in Langdon last fall and handled
upwards of 800 bushels of the "spud"
crop marketed at this point, write a
letter sizing up the experiences of both
buyer and seller the past season and
makes several valuable suggestions as
to what potato growers can do to get the
best results from the crop planted this
spring. MIR. Dahlman and his company
have money invested IN their Langdon
warehouse that gives them a personal
interest along with the local potato
grower in getting results. He also is
able to make suggestions that come
from twenty years experience in the
potato business here in the west. Here
is his letter from Cambridge, Mimi,
under date of January, 9th, 1913:
"The potato season is practically over
now, and we all have our own impress
sion from this season, one perhaps that
will not come back in twenty years and
perhaps never. The season has been
somewhat backward from spring to fall,
the farmer has been up against it and
so has everybody else. Now what are
you going to do? We cannot quit right
here, we all feel that we should go right
ahead and try it over. Now is the right
time to get seed, as seed is cheap. We
have been in the business both growing
and shipping for years past and we find
that we as rule get Il better price fol
lowing an exceptional low year as this
one just gone. And the reasons are
many for better year than this one just
gone. And the reasons are many for E
better year and better prices. We can
rot guarantee any prices but We do say
from years past and our personal expert
ence that prospects are good at least OF
a paying basis. There has been no ust
trying to do better as we tried to do al
we could but the outside market ha!
neen against u.s. Now what we sugges
to grow is to get pure seed, Early Ohios
Burbanks and Triumphs Don't plan
any other variety, they are no good
what you should plant is for seed. Ge
your seed now, don't wait until planting
time. We will try to help YOU get th
seed for you. We have the potato hous
built, we will do all that we can to hell
you along, How manv acres are yol
figuring on planting? What variety
Have 'gDu any seed or would you wan
us to get you some pure seed and Wha
variety? 1t takes about ten bushels t.
the acre.
We would appreciate very much t.
hear from you at once, whether you in
tend to plant, how many acres and wha
variety Ihis will not bind you one wa:
or another, but in doing this it mean
mutual cooperation. Should you wisl
to have some further informat ton from
us we will be more than willing to do al
we can. Please write us to Cambridge
Minnesota. Yours Truly,
Il P DAHLMAN & Co.
| P. S.-Ifyou have any more potatoe
will buy them in the spring

FIRE DEPARTMENT
CALLED OUT TWICE
Monday Jan'y 18th Was a Hoodoo
Day in Langdon--Two Near
Fires Result

Monday, the thirteenth day of the
first month in the year '13 went far in
the direction of demonstrating that
number thirteen is not always lucky
one-even here in Langdon-when the
events of the day we're found to have
included two near fires. The first alarm
between halfpast nine and ten o'clock
in the forenoon called the department to
put out what was already quite nasty
looking blaze on the second floor of the
Boyd department store block. Smoke
having been noticed by A. G. Kronen-
berger as coming over the transom of
the room occupied by Alex. McNab.
When the door was forced the fire was
found to have got good start IN a
loung and had about reached the
point where itwould readily spread over
the room. 1t was got under control with
the prompt application of a few buckets
of water. The second alarm of fire to
call out the department during the day
occurred about two o'clock in the after
noon, when overheated pipes from the
heating stove gave the A. G. McNiven
residence on Fifth street close call.
The fire was started in the joists over
headsbetween the living room and
the floor of the bed room. The chemi-
cal engine was put into action and the
of hat Il
necessary to turn on the water although
the fire department had two lines of
hose laid in short order. The conflagra-
tion was one of the kindthat is naturally
looked for during the extreme cold
weather of North Dakota winter and
emphasizes the fact that unusual pre-.
caution should be taken in care of stoves
and stove pipes at this season.
