much, I went over to Billy Langs while I was there and got a sack of binder twine to be ready for cutting the oats. Aunty came back home with me. Lila is sick to-day and put in a very bad night of it, Huby is still not working, they are having a meeting of the share holders of the canning factory this morning down on the band stand.
When we got home about noon Dad. & Frank were out straightening up the wheat sheaves that were down. They had fixed up the hay in the barn ready to put the alsike in. Dad. nearly killed himself while he was trying to tighten up the track in the barn. He had the big monkey wrench and could hardly reach to get it on the nut while working with it, it fell and struck him in the eye with a force which knocked him down and nearly stunned him, it left him with a headache for the rest of the day.
This afternoon he & I went out to finish straighteneing up the wheat, we didn't bother with the thistly sheaves, we went down to see Aldfred for awhile who was cutting grass along the fence in his wheat stubble across the road. We saw that Mr. Fleming was hauing alsike though it can't be fit. He has a lot more dead ripe to cut and his oats ought to be cut so we aren't so very far behind.
