Frank and I did chores and husked a little corn. Alan Law came in here after dinner to see if we had sold our clover seed yet and showed us a card he had got Edmonds saying they were in the market again and for him to send up a sample of his seed. Alan had sold his to Fiss for $20.00 a bushel so Frank caught the 3 o'clock car and took a sample of ours to Edmonds and sold it for $21.00 a bushel. We have to take it up in the morning Dad. went down town to pay Clare Deal for the coal this after noon and Enah & Tid. drove down for some groceries. I read the paper, cleaned out a place in the cellar for my incubator and started to prune the raspberries but didn't get much done. Frank went down to Alfred's to-night to ask him if he wanted us to take his seed up for him to-morrow but he wasn't home nor at Art's nor Pickford's. Aunty & Dess had letters from Dick to-day and in Dess's said he thought they would be leaving for home about April. He told a very distressing story of the filth and poverty of Vladivostok. Nice day but rather cold west wind.
