Views ola Northern Editor.

Almost every week some
Northern agricultural or farm
journal finds its way to our desk,
and they are greatly appreciated
and from them we often gather
new and helpful ideas to present
to our readers who are engaged
in the pleasant occupation of
farming. These papers contain
articles from the pen Of the North.
ern editors who visited our great
State only short time ago on
an inspection tour. We make
the following excerpt from an
article published in "Better Farm.
ing" Chicago, in which the edi-
tor writes Of the vast and unre.
vealed agricultural possibilities Of
Louisiana, it's excellent climate
and its many opportunities offer
ed to home seekers:
"But diversified farming in
Louisiana is only in its infancy,
for heretofore cane. cotton and
rice offered such an attractive
operation where the lord of the
manor sat in feudal grandeur,
surrounded by his tens of thous-
ands of acres, his thousand ne
groes, and hundreds Of mules
that the thought of intensive
farming never occurred to any
one. However, the boil weevil
put a crimp in the cotton planter
about seven years ago and cot
ton is only just coming back. A
few unfavorable reasons reduced
the great incomes from sugar
and now the removal of the tariff
has left the sugar planter panic
stricken, with heavy mortgages
on his plantation, and he must
look to some other source for the
development of his country,
Neither he nor his help knows
anything about diversified farm
ing and the people of the State,
both In the country and in the
cities, realize that if the resources
are to he highly developed they
must have men who know how to
do it, hence the very attractive
prices and terms that are made
on lands either in the reclaimed
districts or in the subdivisions of
the large plantations.
"My Impressions Of Louisiana
before visiting the State were
that it was great producer of
sugar, fairly good in cotton and
rice, with no other agricultural
resources. These impressions
were due, | think in a large
measure to the continual plea of
the senators and congressman
from Louisiana in Washington
for the continuation of the tariff
on sugar, for they said in sub
stance thu. ii the tariff was re-
moved from sugar the indstrial

Senator-elect Broussard since its

that the third Louisiana will be

Bismarck, N. D.. Feb. lathe po-
iitical campaign for Burleigh county
will be commenced this afternoon,
when a political mass meeting Of farm
ers will be held at Regain, a town in
the northwestern corner Of the coun-
ty.
The meeting has been called by A. N.
BleaIrud, a pioneer farmer of Bur
leigh county, who has always taken an
active interest in county. politics. Two
years ago, he was a candidate for coun-
Ity treasurer, and it has been stated
that he will be a candidate again this
time. He is at present president Of the
county organization of the Farmers
Cooperative Educational union, a po-
sition he will no doubt Immediately re-
sign when he enters the field for coun-
ty office.
The farmers of the county seem to
be taking a closer interest in local poll
ties this year than any time. during the
history Of the county, and it has been
stated that while the farmers will
name a ticket for practically all of the
county offices, they will also select a
legislative ticket, consisting Of three
house members. None of these for
mer candidates have been divulged as
yet, but the names will be made pub
lie in a short time.
So far there are but very few candi-
dates who have signified their willing
ness to enter the race for the coming
primaries. The only pronounced can
didates so far are Ed Barnes for sher.

Maddox. N. D. Feb. 14.-In spite of

this school will represent an invest

that this sum of money could be raised

Hettinger. N. D., Feb. 14.-The

will soon be. on in. full blast, and
among the republican candidates there
will be the fua1al spirited contest for
the primary nominations. But, unlike
former campaigns in this county, the
republicans will have democratic OPP
position. However, that this opposi-
ton will be formidable all along the
line is doubtful. No doubt the demo-
Gratis may nominate a few men who
will have the ability to break through
the lines, particularly is thought to be
true Of Henry Olson, who will be the
democratic candidate for sheriff. The
balance of the democratic county
ticket is expected to have but little
effect. 49,. 49,.
1t is believed that all of the present
county officials will be candidates for
reelection, with the exception oil
County Treasurer Burnson, whose
term expires under the statute. Among
the new men who have announced
their candidacy for the primaries, are
H. T. Culver, who aspires to be coun-
