RECORD PRICE FOR
CLAY COUNTY Land
DEAL WAS COMPLETED TODAY
FOR SALE OF THE 24o ACRE
FARM, KNOWN AS THE CURTIS
FARM FOR 500 PER ACRE
ILLINOIS MAN THE BUYER.

BY the sale of an especially fertile
farm, less than two miles north of
the Moorhead postoffice, 240 acres, at
500 an acre, the record price Of farm
land in Clay county has been broken.
A short time ago Mr. Schroeder paid
$75 an acre for tract near Glyn-
don.
The tract sold was the 240 acres,
about mile north of the Moorhead
courthouse known as the Curtis farm
which was sold two or three years
ago to the Rev. r. Bogstad, then con-
nected with Concordia college at
$3.50 an acre. The buyer Is a young
farmer from Illinois who already owns
similar tracts In two other states,
but lately has been watching things
in this part Of the Red river valley
with the result that he was attract
ed to the land Of which the purchase
was contaminated early this morning
The buyer will take possession March
i, 1912 and will continue the dairy
ing enterprise which has been con-
Quoted by Mr.. Rudd, the lessee of the
farm from the Rev. Mr.. Bogstad, but
on a much more extensive scale.
The sale of the Curtis farm was
made by the Farm Homes Land Co.,
VIII Anderson and associates, with
whom it has been listed for some
time, and 1t was Mr.. Anderson who
was largely instrumental in interest
ing the buyer of the farm in this par
ticular tract. The sale at the price
named is splendid boost for the
lands Of Clay county and already let
