Went and started to cut corn this morning. Daddy kept on cultivating all morning. The drill came up to-day and Vyse sowed his wheat this morning. I went over and he said he would draw it up in the field over the gully after dinner. So this after noon Daddy took weat over in the wagon and I went with him. Vyse got there at the same time. The automobilly belonging to the Norfolk Gas Co. was busted and pulled up in the gate way. They had to {illegible} of the road and shortly afterwards Johnny Walker and Albert Mc{illegible} came along on Johnny's {drap?} and they towed it home. Daddy kept on sowing till after six. I stayed awhile with him {till it rained?} and then went on cutting {illegible} till about five when I came up and did the chores. I got about 14 {illegible} cut. Daddy got about 12 bushels of wheat sowed. It has been very cool all day and is quite cold to-night. The thermometer marked freezing last night but we don't know whether it did freeze or not.
