ties. Like all the farmers in this
county he will swear by it's reliability
to yield a crop, and thus the keynote
of his succession to a snug competence
Is explained. BY this prodigious show
ing on the part of Mr.. Schroeder,
farmers who read this notice can
readily imagine the richness of the
soil in this county, and they should
hesitate to make inquiries relat-
ing thereto.
MI. Schroeder has made his future
in this county, as have many other of
its citizens. Aside from the immense
holdings of himself and sons, he was
enabled to sell a large tract of land to
the Northern Pacific, and still have g.
900 acres of farm land left for his
own use. He has proved to the out
side world that golden opportunities
await those who desire to seize them
in time, and his residence pictured
elsewhere in this edition, illustrates
that Clay county farmers can live in
luxury, while farmers who are con-
fined to worn out land in other states
find it difficult to make ends meet.
Mr.. Schroeder has always been a.
hard working farmer, but his photo,
shown beneath a wealth of potatoes.
indicates what his frugality and
knowledge have brought to him. He is
a high minded man who considers the
interests Of his customers as his own:
he is a man of unusual perception and
intuition; he is one of the financial
bulwarks of Clay county, universally
esteemed for both his tenacity,
knowledge of farm life. and for the
manly traits he possesses. He is
generous and open in all that he does,
charitable and easy to approach, and
as q public -spirited citizen, and n
who has the interests Of Clay county
at heart-well there are none bet
ter.
Mr.. Schroeder is a self-made man
whose early life was mere ~drudgery in
a new land. Hence we felicitate with
him when We acclaim him the "po-
tato king Of the northwest"
The Fargo forum and daily republican. [volume] (Fargo, N.D.) 1894-1957, 1912-04-30

most sceptical that Clay county pro-
duces seed potatoes which are incom-
parable, let them observe the photo
herein published which shows the po-
tato king in one of his receiving eel
lars. If that is not sufficiently con-
vineing, permit us to state last sea-
son Mr.. Schroeder and his sons pro-
duced from Clay county soil, on 700
acres, 100000 bushels of the finest
seed potatoes that can be grown. These
were Early Ohios and Triumphs. Mr..
Schroeder and his sons raise these two
lasses of seed potatoes exclusively, and
that they have proved their merit to the
world is attested by the embarrassing
demand for them from all sections of
the country, especially from the south,
not forgetting Alaska and other far
northern lands. Mr.. Schroeder is also
a skilled student in potato growing,
and can distinguish a sheep from a
goat-so to speak. His years of exper-
fence, commencing at the beginning,
have convinced him that Early Ohios
and Trtumphs are not only far superior
to other potatoes for seeding purposes
but that they mature several weeks
in advance of others.
Then again, Mr.. Schroeder's wealth
has been earned through hard work and
confidence in Clay county's possibili-

no lurking suspicion may remain in
their minds relative to the productive
ness of the land in Clay county, and to
prove to them that when a farmer of
thirty years residence can perceive
the richness of the soil of Clay county,
every n else has a license to believe
it.
Mr.. Schroeder was born the year
1855, at Holstein, Germany. At the
g Of is he came to America, settl-
ing in Alexandria, this state, where
he remained until 1878, when he took
up a quarter section tree claim, one
and a half miles from Sabin, situated
in Clay county. Comprehending the
productiveness of the soil in that dis
trict, and especially as it seemed APP
plicable to the growing of potatoes, Mr..
Schroeder began, in a small way, to
raise them. His venture proved a
veritable Aladdin's lamp, for 10, he had
perceived the proper crop that would
thrive in his land. The result we know:
He is a potato king.
Year after year, Mr.. Schroeder, by
virtue of the high merit of the seed
potatoes he raised. was enabled to add
more and to his credit, but the seed
potato was never forgotten at planting
time, and always occupied more acres
han any other one seed he put in. AS

years went by the reputation Of his
product became better known, AMI to-
day he finds it difficult to supply the
demands made upon him.
But this is not all. Mr.. Schroeder was
so thoroughly convinced of the bounte-
usnes of the land in the vicinity
where he lived, that he interested his
two steady going and sturdy sons in
the potato problem, and today one of
his sons, E. G. Schroeder, has 300
acres in potatoes, while another son,
Theo. Schroeder, has 100 acres seed

BEAUTIFUL M

Co. With Modern Residences.

Co. With Modern Residences.
The effect of the potato industry on
Clay county is to be seer by driving
along the country roads and high
ways. On every hand beautiful
structures which would be a credit to
any city are to be seen. These are
residences of men who have made a
success in growing of spuds. In
nearly every case the houses are
modern in every particular, and many
of them are equipped with their W
lighting plants, hot and cold water
and other conveniences not usually
found in the farm home.
When we consider that the short
period of time that has elapsed since
the growing of potatoes in Clay coun-
ty, these homes are evidences of the
wonderful returns to secure from the
proper cultivation of this crop. They
are equal to any farm homes to be
found in any part of the country.
