Monday December 1st

Huby came over this morning and we hauled corn stalks all day, we had to unload the load in the barn first thing so didn't get a very early start, as the barn was as full as we wanted to put it, we didn't haul any more in but put up some huge shocks on the clover sod, just near the corner of the orchard, we put up six of these big shocks with an average of five shocks in each one, we binded them all up tight with a sling rope before we bound them with sideline or binder twine. we built a small shock on the top of one and think we will top them all out as it will keep the water out much better, we have the field more than half cleared and hope to finish to-morrow if it is a nice day.
