Dad. Enah. Marj. and I all went out to put on a big load this morning and took out Harry & Pommers. Marj. didn't feel at all well and had to quit before we got it on. We hauled it up to the drive house with the big team and then I hauled it down to the factory with Queen and Joe and Dad. went back to fill in his ditches with Harry & Pommers. He finished them and didn't get up till half past twelve for dinner. This after noon Marj. didn't go out to pick but Dad. Enah and I put on a big load, 3100. I was pretty late getting it unloaded and then I went up to the Hardings and got the chairs Enah bought at their sale, so I was quite late getting home. Marj. went down with me on the load and stayed at Aunty's for tea as she had to go to a girl's meeting to-night. I drove down after her to-night. Huby and Ada. were there at Aunty's so we stayed for quite awhile and talked or rather listened to Huby talk, and then we brought Ada as far as her place with us. Beautiful day.

We all four got out in the field this morning to pull corn as this was to be the last day they were going to take it at the factory and we wanted to haul as much as possible. Marj. felt better and wanted to be in on the finish. We put on what we thought was a good big load and hauled it out with Harry & Pommers and down town with Harry and Joe, but when I got down I found I didn't have on quite a ton and a half. Winnie came over for dinner and she helped pull this afternoon and we put on all that we could possibly stick for the last load and we nearly skinned the field all but a few hundred lbs at the far end and the crows had it pretty badly stripped. Marj. went down with me and saw Woodyer weigh it and it came to 3200, the biggest load of all making an aggregate of 16 tons 700 lbs. Marj. went up town to get a registered letter from Dorrie and I picked her up at Aunty's. Win. and Enah drove down in the cart and picked TId up. We are all glad the corn picking is done and think it did well.
