Wednesday September 28th

Dad disked crossways all day on the wheat ground but didn't get all over it. He wants to harrow and roll it again before it is drilled I took the little team and Charlie Butler's waggon out and gathered up all the corn stalks that were cut along the roadways so that Bill wouldn't have to drive over them with the corn binder. I piled them along the fence between the corner field and the one the corn is in. This after noon I took the waggon back to Charlie & Marj. went with me to call on Mrs. Butler Charlie wasn't home when we got there but came while I was waiting for Marj. He talked to me for quite awhile and then had me tie the team up and go down to the flats where the corn field was and get some pumpkins to take home. When we came up he was bound I should sit down and hear a few records on the Victrola so we heard Humoresque which Charlie had bought on Mr. Tibbit's recomendation and which he didn't care for at all when he got it, but was getting to like it more the oftener he heard it. Cory said she liked it, she gets so tired of their silly pieces but she could never get tired of that one, then Charlie played one of his silly ones and then Nellie Gray sung by Alma Gluck. We didn't get home till five o'clock or after. There was a rag & bone man drove in just ahead of us and wanted to get enough straw to fill a tick I told him to help himself and he insisted on giving me a quarter for it. Marj. worked pretty steadily all morning and after she got home to-night on the quarterly statements for the church and got them pretty well finished.
