Longtime Minnesota farmer George Griese in Ramsey township
Mr. George Griese of Lakota, a Titanica merchant for 34 years, spent an hour at the office Tuesday and extended his subscription for another year. He has moved from Becker County to settle on a farm three miles north of Col 4’s corner in Ramsey township, now renowned as a thriving farm. He and his son manage the home place with steady work, farming and seasonal duties. Earlier, he sold holdings to Schultz and Rippentrop and rented the Becker 140 gore farm in German township. A recent northern Minnesota trip with Ed Underdahl included exchanging thirty four shells of Northwestern Greening Doles for sixty bushels of northern Howell potatoes near Rapids, with sightseeing at Big Winnie and nearby lakes. The two returned confident they had their best harvest yet.
