For the past three years they have made a specialty of grow- ing seed corn and even in 1915 were successful, securing several hundreds of bushels of Minnesota No. 13 seed of excellent quality. In fact, it was so good that both the first and second prizes for this district were won by it at the First National Corn Show in St. Paul. This is more creditable when it is known that only one of the other nine counties in the district, Becker, is as far north as Clay. In the future the brothers will continue to specialize on Minnesota No. 13. They will also grow other grain for seed, the plan being to make this, as exclusively as possible, a seed farm. Pioneer Insurance Company In 1885 the farmers of Clay and three adjoining counties organized the Parke Mutual Fire Insurance Company of Rollag. This company insures farm buildings and other farm property in the towns of the southeastern part of the county and in several townships in Becker, Otter Tail and Wilkin coun- ties. At the present time the total amount of risks carried is $448,, and the average cost for each $100 since the company was organized has been less than nineteen cents. The officers are: S. P. Anderson, president; C. J. Berg, secretary and treasurer: and H. O. Solum, H. Erick- son, N. O. Christianson, Ole Larson, Anton Peterson, F. L. Larson and P. Folden.
