Friday September 15th

Dad. disked all morning but had to use Harry & Belle as old Nellie is quite lame. I did chores and then took a walk over to ask Mr. Fleming if we might have his diamond tooth harrows to us on that piece across the gully to rake the grass roots out. He was plowing in his back field next Art Ryerse's and I walked down along the creek & up through the woods. He said he wouldn't be using them before Monday, so that we might as well take them. I went over and talked to Art. till about noon. He was plowing too and Lloyd was disking. They got through seeding about a week ago but when they found this plowed so nicely, they thought they would put in a little more. This after noon I did up the chores then took Nellie & Joe down and got Mr. Flemming's harrows and took them back to Dad. He was just through disking so hooked on to them but they wouldn't work at all as the grass just bundled up thick under them, so he went up and got the horse rake and tried to rake the grass up with it but it wouldn't work either so he is going over tomorrow and borrow Martin's springtooth cultivator. I took Ben Ivey's disks home and then put the team in. Frank had to go to Jarvis to-day with a load of tomatoes, and had a great day of it. He and I went down town to-night and saw Aunt Hattie. All of Huby's family were down there. I was up for a little while to see Marj. Quite cold & cloudy.
