Farmstead of Heimark Farm, Goose Prairie Township 



The farmstead shown herewith is on 

 what is known locally as the Heimark 

 farm of 480 acres, located in Goose 

 Prairie township, two and one-half 

 miles southwest of Ulen. It is a choice 

 piece of land, slightly rolling, and has 

 a fine set of buildings. Nearly all of 

 the land is under cultivation and the 

 growing of seed potatoes is a specialty. 

 Corn and clover are grown extensive- 

 ly, the balance of the farm being given 

 over to the production of small grains. 

 The farm is the property of J. L. and 

 J. H. Erickson and is managed by I. 

 G. Peterson. 



J. W. Iliggins and Julius Aske are 

 two former business men who are now 

 engaged in farming. They purchased 

 600 acres of choice land along the Red 

 River, five miles south of Moorhead, 

 and are making it one of the finest 

 farms in the county. They will en- 

 gage extensively in stock raising and 

 growing general farm products. There 

 are now upon the farm several hun- 

 dred head of Duroc-Jersey hogs and 

 a large number of well-bred cattle. 

 Last fall a mammoth barn, 40x120 

 feet in dimension, and twin silos were 

 erected. The illustration shows the
