July Thursday 21 1927

Dan and I sharpened a mower knife first thing after breakfast and then hoed turnips for a while. Took in the 20th and last load of hay in field by house and one load from other piece before noon. Drew in 8 loads when Mr. Pifher came over after dinner and we had two teams on the go and we finished the second piece. Hydro men finished building our line. Started to rain just at bed time.

Friday 22

We all hoed turnips in the morning even if it was pretty mushy after the heavy rain the night before. Another heavy shower came up at 1.30 so that ended the hoeing. Did some jobs around barn until 3.45 then Dan and I struck out the sod field by the house with the old team.

Saturday 23

Rained all morning until 10.30 while we were looking over oats for the show then we plowed with both teams until noon even if it did come onto rain again. I plowed 11 rounds with "Gyp n Fly" in 80 minutes and there were a few nice furrows in the bunch. Jean and I drove to town in rain after dinner and did some shopping for the company & ourselves.

July Sunday 24 1927

Not a very promising morning and Jean and I were undecided what to do until Mother called up and asked us to go touring with them and the girls. Were up around "Cousin Ted's" and around the old farm in the morning and had dinner and Supper at Uncle Arts. Stopped in to see Frank and Della's new house on way home and when we got home Lou & Jack were here. It sure was a wonderful day.

Monday 25

A fair day and I plowed 30 rounds in a little over four hours in the morning. Then in afternoon Jack Ball and I cultivated the summer fallow. Fell off cultivator seat coming to the house and skinned my nose.

Tuesday 26

Hoed turnips till nine o'clock then we went over to Pifher's to draw hay and stack it. A Shower of rain came up around three and put a stop to that. Started to plow then Mr. Barker took the team after load of lumber for Pifher's barn. Weirs & the folks at home came down for a while.and we were up thre for tea after.
