Mr. ■ Schroeder has numerous other 

 interests— he is president of the First 

 National Bank of Moorhead and of the 

 Sabin State Bank. He was one of the 

 organizers of the Clay County Potato 

 Growers' Association and is one of its 

 officers. He has been one of the most 

 active members of the Clay County 

 Farm Bureau since its organization. 



When Mr. Schroeder left his home in 

 Germany he was less than 16 years old. 

 He came to Douglas county, Minnesota, 

 and worked for the settlers during the 

 summers and falls. For several years 

 he spent the winters trapping in Doug- 

 las and Otter Tail counties. In 1878 

 he came to Clay county and secured 

 a tree claim. Since that time he has 

 increased his holdings until the Schroe- 

 der farms include several thousands 

 of acres of the choicest land in the Red 

 River Valley.
