After dinner Dad. & I took the rack all but the bed piece off the waggon and then I went out and cut a couple of roads through the corn field Marj. had gone out right after dinner and started to pull ears, and Enah went out later, and they pulled about a load and left it in piles while I took the little team over to Charlie's to get the rack. I got back and started to load about four o'clock and quit soon after five although I didn't have quite a load on nor all that was pulled but it was getting fairly heavy for the little team to pull and so late I went with it.

Willard Butler came in after I did with a big load of over 2 tons. It was after dark when I got home but Dad had the milking done. He ploughed all the after noon,
