agreement with me, but he has to come down first to estimate the value of it. Cloudy and hot all day. Tuesday May 28th Dad. and Frank hauled out manure all morning each finished covering the field. This after noon Dad. plowed I set out more tomato plants this morning and finished two rows making about 175 plants and leaving a few in the cold frame for Huby and Aunty alice. When I got through I went back to the woods and got a few of the stakes I cut but as they were too limber to drive in I got John Wesses spud and made a hole beside each plant with it. I finished that after dinner and about four o'clock Frank and I went back to John Wesses with Joe & Queen and took his spud & spoon home. Frank had been disking whileI was making the holes; We bred Belle to-day. Cloudy & warm. Wednesday May 29th Dad. plowed all morning and most of the after noon but it began to rain about four o'clock so he had to quit. It rained from then till about dark but not very hard. Frank and I put on a load of straw this morning and Dad. hauled it over to the drive house at noon and we put it off right after dinner. We spent most of the morning back in the gully taking the wire off the cross fence and rolling itt we got it all done by noon. We went back to the woods at noon and got a few of the tomato stake and carried them to the top of the gully hill but they got too heavy to lug any farther. We had them on a hickory pole and each had one end of the pole. Cruikshanks. the machine and insurance agent was down to see Frank this morning and left his cane here so he and the District agent for the Confederation Life Co. were in again while Frank and I were putting off the straw and induced me to take out a 20 year endowment policy for $1000. I didn't pay any thing down on it but told them I would in a week or so. If I can ever raise the money for the premiums I guess its a good thing. When they left. Frank and I went out to the side road. to dig post holes but Pickford came over to visit us and it began to rain so we had to hike for his barn and only got two posts set. I went down town to-night and stayed all night at Aunty Alice's. she and Aunt Ida were over here to-dinner to-day. Aunty is in London. Thursday May 30th Dad. has plowed all day to-day. Frank and
