for a little while and picked Enah up at the Rectory as Mr. Johnson had coaxed her to go down there instead of down home as she intended and Harry Moon told me where to find her. It was raining when we came out of church and rained quite a shower.

Monday September 25th

Dad. went over to Martin's to thrash this morning and was over there till some time this after noon. They thrashed {300?} and some odd bushels. The wheat on his own place went {18?} bushels to the acre but Dad. said it was very dirty with couch grass I went back and rolled and it took me nearly all day to roll the piece but I didn't get a very early start either morning or noon. John Wess came over and borrowed the rolling coulter to try on his plow but I went over this after noon and he said he couldnt work it on his plow. He says it is pretty hard for him to keep from swearing it is just like plowing through loose blocks of ice the way the clods slide around. Mr. Johnson was over here for a few minutes after dinner to bring Enah a book which she dropped last night getting in the buggy in front of his gate. She and the baby went down town this after noon. When I got through rolling I went down to Sam Laws and got his disk drill. Sunny and warmer to-day
