CLAY COUNTY ILLUSTRATED 



The A. H. Miller Farmstead, Moorhead Township 



has always taken an active part in the 

 affairs of his community, and was one 

 of the leaders in the formation of the 

 consolidated school district at Rustad. 

 He is also vice-president of the Rustad 

 Farmers' Elevator Company. 



A. H. Miller is a busy man, and 

 would never accomplish all that he 

 does if he did not keep moving. Be- 

 sides managing the half section home 

 farm in Moorhead township, he con- 

 ducts the farming operations on a quar- 

 ter section southeast of Glyndon. He 

 also sells silos, deals extensively in cat- 

 tle and is the official crier for most of 

 the auction sales held in the western 



part of the county. 



Mr. Miller formerly resided at Free- 

 port, 111., and came to Clay County in 

 the spring of 1910. During the six 

 years Mr. Miller has been a resident of 

 Clay County he has made a record. 

 He is raising stock on the home farm 

 and growing diversified crops. His 

 herd includes a registered Shorthorn 

 bull, and a full-blood Chester White 

 boar is the swine sire. Last year he 

 raised corn to fill his 300-ton silo. 

 About 25 acres each of potatoes, alfalfa 

 and clover are raised each year. Next 

 spring he will seed about 30 acres to 

 sweet clover, and will be the first Clay 

 County farmer to grow it extensively.
