more still in Ivey's and they say some fields are nearly cut to pieces with it. Cruickshanks and a Massey Harris man came down this morning and Frank helped them fix the drill up in good running order. Hermon Cook & Gordon Zealand came over this morning to ask me about the peanut grab which they are to have charge of at the strawberry festival to-night and I gave Hermon a lot of my bird's eggs. He wanted to buy the whole bunch and offered me a dollar for them. This after noon Frank and I put up the fence through the field east of the orchard to keep the sheep off the east side of it and give it a chance to grow. Frank took it off the posts at the north end to run down through the centre. We made a rather sloppy job of it as the posts weren't in solid and we didn't half stretch it but it was the best we could do under the circumstances and I think it will hold the sheep Enah went down this after noon to the strawberry social and Tid went down there from school. We did the chores all up early and Dad. Frank and I drove down about seven. I went up to the band room but found no one there so thought they had gone over but they didn't start to gather till nearly eight, so we were rather late getting there. However we gave them quite a concert and they gave us a very good feed and treated us to cigars. Fine day but looked rainy.
