Tuesday October 13th

I spent most of the day digging potatoes and have about one row to dig yet. They are not turning out any thing like as well as I expected. Mr. Bagley & Essie came over this forenoon to pick the Tolman Sweets on shares. They picked about five bushels and left us three and there are a lot on the tree yet which Essie says they will come out and get another time. Beautiful day.

Bill Donald brought Ina over this morning, she was here yesterday but as there was so much ironing she promised Marj. another day to make up for the one she lost last week. I rode down to the corner with Bill to get my {cre}am can which I forgot yesterday. When I got back to the {g}ate Charlie Shand was just issuing from it with his ladder which I borrowed some time ago from the schoolhouse, so I helped Charlie carry it home. Harry Blake was at the schoolhouse putting up the revised voter's list for No 3 polling division. Young Shoff came to cut the corn about nine o'clock. Dad. brought the binder over and waited till he finished but as Shoff brought his team {he di}dn't have to move him to-night. He started

to cut with pommers, old Chalrie & little Joe but Pom{mers} had trouble with his wimd so they had to put him in instead. He was nearly all day cutting as I got to cut the little satrips back of the barn and the sun grass in it bothered a great deal. He broguhtn down time of the gravel haulers ans I made it p and sen{t} direct to Marston with the other brother who came {with?] this one for some thing.Dad. put on a load of c{ement?} and took it home to-nigjt to fill in around the w{ater} trough. I went as far as Evan'swith him and my little lough over to have ther shear sharpened {and} the coulter set up. I drove Ina home to-night and intended goimng on down to band practice but it {started?} drizzling rain so I came home and washed the d{ishes}
