Tuesday January 25th

Sam Law pulled in to Jack Martin's last night so I thought they would be thrashing and went over to the farm in good time. Mrs. Martin had breakfast ready for them at seven o clock but it was too cold or some thing and they didnt show up till the middle of the fore noon and didn't get set up till noon. Billy Mills jammed his finger blocking the clover mill last night so he couldn't do any thing. He asked me at noon if two of us could go over and I said we could but Dad. wanted to get some wood out of the orchard so Frank went over and he said they had enough men. Dad. and I got the wood and did chores To-night Marj. and I went skating for awhile It was a beautiful moon light night but there were very few on the pond and the ice was rough in spots.

Frank went over to help thrash at Martin's and when they blew the whistle Dad. went across thinking they needed more help but he found Charlie Quanbury and Sam standing around not doing any thing. Sam told him they just blew the whistle as they wanted more company, however he didn't stay. They finished the red seed this morning and started in on the alsike
