It is a pleasure to visit a farm that is so well kept and homelike in every way. It is safe to predict that many farmers will make their farm homes as attractive as Mr. Janneck has made his farmstead. James Peterson, now a prosperous Elmwood township farmer, was for many years engaged in the draying business in Moorhead. In the spring of 1910 he purchased the quarter sec- tion where his home buildings are now located. He moved on the farm and got busy. He was accustomed to hard work and did not form any new habits on the farm. The reward of his labor was plentiful crops, and another 80 acres was added to the farm. Now Mr. Peterson owns 400 acres of as good land as lies out of doors. At the be- ginning of the present winter he had 4,000 bushels of Early Ohio potatoes in his root cellar and all the grain he raised last year in his granary, except what he sold to pay his threshing bill. Lamb came to Moorhead in 1872 from Knox County, Missouri. He did teaming, conducted a brick yard and built several buildings. In 1877 he began to operate his farm in Oakport township, but always resided in Moor-. Buildings on P. H. Lamb Farm, Oakport Township.
