AT JAMES I OWNi^
np and Sold
One of the largest and best known
farms in Stutsman county and cen
tral North Dakota, has just been put
upon the market to be sold in small
quarter section farms or in block,
namely the big S. F. Corwin farm,
comprising 17 quarter sections as
follows: Section 4, 5, 8, and 9, and
the northeast quarter of 18, all in
township 138, range 63. The big
farm, with its fine improvements,
is valued at between $90,000 and
$100,000.
The S. F. Corwin farm of approxi
mately 2720 acres of which 2000
acres are under cultivation and 720
unbroken pasture land,' has long
been noted as one of the model farms
of North Dakota, scientifically tilled
and brought to the highest state of
cultivation. Mr. Corwin has had
personal supervision over the farm
for over 25 years and the financial
success at the farm is due, no doubt,
to that fact. The farm residence
with barps, artesian well, pond and
other improvements, are valued at
about $10,000.
The Corwin farm is well located,
being about nine miles southeast of
Jamestown, four miles from Ypsil
anti and four miles from the new
Midland road. Mr. Corwin intends
to retire .from active farming when
the place is disposed of. Lenz Land
and Loan Co. of Jamestown act as
agents for the sale of the property.
