fallow this morning and has been at it all day. I went back with him and helped him get started and from there walked over to Tom Butler's to try to induce him to buy Oliver at beef price but he said they only had two cows so didn't think they could afford to. I got talking and Mark put on some phonograph record so I didn't get back till dinner time. Frank rode his wheel home sometime during the forenoon. This after noon He finished cutting the side hill field and cut two rounds on the five acres next the lane. I hoed a couple more rows of turnips. Tid is having a great time trying to snare a ground hog back on the mound. He and Hubert Zealand seem to be in partnership on the business. I went down to band practice to-night. Fine day but cloudy.
