The farmstead is in a bend of the river and is well sheltered on the north and west by a natural grove of trees. In the right foreground of the illustration of the "Lee Farm" will be seen part of a six-acre plot of alfalfa from which two crops had al- ready been cut during 1915. Rasmus A. Rice believes in keeping up the land the same as it was when the first crop was raised. This he does by following the improved meth- ods of cultivation. Clover is one of his best assistants and he plans to keep about 20 acres of his quarter section farm producing this forage crop and fertility restorer. He has begun rais- ing alfalfa and has a four-acre patch with an excellent catch. When Mr. Rice bought his farm there were no buildings and only a few small trees. Something of what he has accom- plished may be judged by the picture of his farm buildings surrounded by a grove of sturdy trees. Mr. Rice came from Walsh County, N. D., in the fall of 1898 and purchased the Rasmusson farm in Section 22 of Oak- port township. This fine farm, located in Moland township, four miles northwest of Glyndon, is the property of J. Dairy Herd on Huntoon Farm, South of Moorhead.
