of any wheat coming but it is. clean and so we thought we would take a chance on something coming to shade the clover seed. Dad. and Frank started to plow the old. garden one plowed and the other raked the long manure into the furrow. I went over and took Dad's place when I got through sowing and Dad. went after and rolled up some of the barbed wire around the corner field along the front road. This after noon Dad. and Frank plowed all they could of the old garden which was just on top of the knoll as the west and south sides were too wet. When they finished there Dad. went out and rolled up the rest of the wire along the south side of the field and Frank went on plowing along the wast side of the field north of the orchard as it was fairly dry. I did up the chores at noon and then raked up the yard where the raspberries are. Enah and Tid. went down town to tea. and Dad. Frank and I went down after wards to go to a show "The Village Doctor" put on by the Jarvis Methodist Bible Class. It was a pretty punk show but they didn't do so badly considering what they had to work on. Tid. seemed to enjoy it. It has been a fine day but raining again to-night.

Frank plowed all morning and Dad. took down a barbed wire from around the corner field and this after-noon Dad. finished up Frank's lands and Frank finished rolling up the wire. I raked up on the lawn all morning and this after noon I did up the chores and then went over to Lorne Myer's to see if our choice of land for potato plots was satisfactory to him. he is very willing to do all he can to help. To-night Dad drove Enah down to choir practice but it was just about over when she got there. Dad. spent the evening quarrelling with Huby about farmer's position. Huby up holding his favorite contention that the farmer's were making more money than any one else, which being untrue and Huby's arguments so foolish made Dad. mad. Cloudy and cold raw wind. Freezing hard to-night.
