A. C. Huxley Farmstead, Alliance Township 



The A. C. Huxley farm, the north 

 half of section 15 in Alliance township. 

 has netted the owner an average of 

 10 per cent annually on a valuation of 

 $100 per acre for the past seven years. 

 The farm is located three and one-half 

 miles southwest of Baker and has a 

 most complete set of new buildings. 

 Everything is modern — the silo is con- 

 structed of vitrified brick and the 

 10,000-bushel potato cellar is concrete. 

 There is a fine dairy barn, a milk house 

 and a pump house. Then the farm- 

 stead is a model of neatness. 



Corn is grown every year and seed 

 was saved last season. There are 15 



acres of alfalfa, and more will be sown 

 this year. Clover is another favorite 

 crop. The demonstration potato plot, 

 shown in one of the illustrations, made 

 the county record in 1915 with a yield 

 of 363 bushels to the acre. B. F. Moore 

 is the resident manager of the farm. 



Mr. Huxley resides in Barnesville, 

 and his town house is a beautiful brick 

 bungalow. Between times Mr. Huxley 

 cries auction sales and has few open 

 dates during the season. 



John Oberg came to Houston County 

 from Norway in 1879. He removed to 

 Wisconsin, and in 1882 arrived in Clay
