I pulled corn here and piled it this morning while Dad. & Frank put on a load over home and took it down. Frank came out here this after noon and put on what I had pulled and helped me finish the field. We got down there about five and didn't have to wait very long to get unloaded but it was dark when I got home. We just had 2380 on. The field didn't turn out nearly as well as I thought it would before we started. There is still a patch back of the barn but we will leave that for a day or two. The Bagley's were over this after noon to invite Marj. to a party there on Friday. Marj. canned corn to-day. Froze slightly last night, no damage. Fine & cool to-night.
