Line 1: Line 1:
sowing clover seed on the wheat and got over the twelve acres. The wheat certainly looks sick but it is still alive. In a few places it was heaved and a few small patches killed out. Frank took Alfred's spear back to him this morning and went by way of the creek. He went up along Robert John's creek and came back along Charlie McQueens and got three or four more pike and some suckers so he presented Alfred with some of them. This after noon he made a cold frame for Enah to put her cabbage plants in, we will use the storm windows for the top. After I did up the cow stables I walked up to Ham Thompson\'s again. He said I would need a barrel of Lime Sulphur but that I should have ordered it beforehand so I got Art Quanbury to twlephone up to-night to see if I could get it. Art. Pickford, Tupper and Jack Martoin were all on the land to-day. Jack's men were drillng tis after noon on the side hills. FRank thinks we can start to-morrow. Wind still in the north but milder.
