I made another attempt to plough the corn stubble this morning but it was still too wet so I harrowed it over, thinking that if the top was scratched up a little it might dry better. I also harrowed the hill next the school house this after noon but it was in better shape and I believe would plough. As we had 15 doz eggs to take to town and I didn't want to take the time Marj. drove down and did her trading.
