Monday August 3rd
I spent the fore noon harrowing the pea stubble that Frank ploughed on Friday, and got over it both ways lapping half one way so that now it is in fairly nice shape Frank came over about eleven and said that the barley would be dry enough to haul this after noon, he said that Jack's men and Harvey Evans were out first thing this morning hauling wheat but that it is soaking wet. Frank did some more monkeying with the tractor and stayed to dinner after which we drove over home. I helped them get in two good loads of barley and a small load and put them off and then I went down town to get my sweet clover seed while they went after the last load. It was six o'clock when I started for town but Harry Misener was home so I got my seed. Fair, clear & warm
Tuesday August 4th
I sowed the sweet clover seed on the pea-stubble this morning and harrowed it in. Frank came over about 9.30 and ploughed on the piece north of the lane till noon. This after noon I went back to the farm and took the team as Cecil was over there and by getting Pickford's rack and hauling with both teams we got in four loads. Cecil and Dad. turned it out this morning so it was in pretty good shape. We didn't expect to get any more than than in off the back field and wouldn't have got that much if Cecil hadn't been there. I left old Belle over there all night and drove Queen home to Dad's buggy. Ina, Marj. & the kids were having tea when I got home, so I tied Queen up and had mine and then drove Ina home. I had a letter from Dick to-day for my birthday and the old son-of-agun enclosed $25.00 Fine & warm.
