Mr. Schroeder began farming four- teen years ago, and potato growing was one of the leading industries of his farm in Glyndon township.

Mr. Schroe- der made the important step, and the foundation for his splendid pure-bred herd of Holstein-Friesians was laid in November, 1909, by the purchase of 28 head of Residence on E. C. Schroeder Farm—Across the Velvet Lawn.
