CLAY COUNTY ILLUSTRATED 



Ernest Schroeder's Farm Home — Model Buildings Well Arranged 



of farming and has now retired from 

 the active management and removed 

 to Hawley. The farmstead shown on 

 this page is the Johnson home on the 

 200 acre farm, located along the banks 

 of the North Buffalo river. The dis- 

 tance to Hawley, the nearest market 

 town, is a little over two miles, and the 

 Northern Pacific station, Manitoba 

 Junction, is only one mile from the 

 farm. 



A diversity of crops are produced 

 on the farm, including corn, potatoes 

 and a ten-acre patch of alfalfa. Stock 

 raising is also a feature, and it is an 

 ideal tract for this purpose. The farm 



is now operated by Henry Estrim. 



Ernest Schroeder managed his 433- 

 acre farm in Glyndon township last 

 year, but did not make it his home 

 until December. As on all the Schroe- 

 der farms, potato growing is one of 

 the leading industries. Mr. Schroeder 

 will diversify his crops and raise some 

 cattle. The farmstead is one of the 

 best located and conveniently arranged 

 in the county. It lies on the west bank 

 of the South Buffalo and is on the 

 Moorhead-Glyndon state road. It is 

 only six miles east of Moorhead and 

 is near to Glyndon and the shipping 

 station at Watts.
