over and Charlie Blake and Fred Rolson were there and a little later Neff came down with Leo Challand. Lorne Myers also helped us but no more of the boys came. Neff took our teams and he and Rolson plowed all the potatoes out and we got the ones off the clay patch all picked up before dinner. This after noon I went back and Tige and Corby came and Lorne Myers pretty late. Rolson came with a lot of crates and picked up 20 bushels by measure for him self. Neff came down and helped us till after five. Tige Corby and i worked till dark and finished the job and Lorne Myer's hauled them up to his barn. When I got home Frank informed me that silo filled had been broken down so they had come home about four o'clock and Dad. Enah and the baby had gone down to Aunty's for tea as Jim & Mrs. Ross were there. I did the milking and Frank and I had tea then Frank went down town and I went down to stay at Frank {Awdes?} as he is still pretty sick and his sister in law told me at noon that she would be very glad if some one would come so that she could get a little sleep as no one but herself and Earl have been there since before Mrs. {Awde?} died. I was there so he came in on his way home and stayed the rest of the night. It has been clody and mild all day.
