. Clay County. Agriculture. Ready for the Threshers—J. P. Landin Farm, South of Moorhead Frank T. Schroeder is a native of Germany, who came to Clay County about 35 years ago. For two years before beginning farming he was sec- tion foreman on the Northern Pacific, and today he is the owner of 1,200 acres of the choicest land in Clay County. Potato growing and stock raising are the leading industries on the half-sec- tion home farm in Glyndon township. There are about 80 head of Polled An- gus in the herd and a registered bull is the sire. The farming operations here are conducted by three of Mr. Schroeder's sons—Otto, Herbert and Walter. The Red River Farm, four miles south of Moorhead, has 480 acres lying close to the river. About 100 acres of potatoes are also raised on this farm each year. Plans are being made for adding a herd of cattle to the stock now on the farm. Three other sons— Frank, Emil and Henry—manage this farm. The first year Mr. Schroeder owned the River Farm he raised 17,000 bush- els of potatoes on 70 acres, and sold most of them for over a dollar a bushel —the price received for part being $ Mr. Schroeder is one of the stock- holders of the First State Bank of Moorhead and has numerous other in- terests. J. P. Landin came to Clay County in 18S1 and bought land two miles south of Moorhead, where he has since been engaged in farming. He recent- ly purchased the James Anderson land, paying $100 an acre for it, and now has upwards of 230 acres in his farm. A 10-acre tract of the land, lying near the Red River, was cleared of timber and broken up last year. Corn will be planted on this land next spring, and Mr. Landin believes he will have a record crop. Mr. Landin and his son-in-law, Curt Ogren, will conduct the farm together. They already have 30 head of Guern- sey grade cattle and expect to increase their dairy herd. They will also raise potatoes and diversified Typical Harvesting Scene Near Ulen.
