Friday Thursday Sep 22nd Lovely day. Toby cut corn all day. We were going to work both teams, but the ground in the west side of the field was too wet. So I worked Joe & Ginger all forenoon and {Ly?} team in the after noon. Dick came home greatly excited. The government was defeated.
Saturday Sept 23d Toby and I worked both teams on the wheat ground, disking till noon. After dinner Blakie came over and helped me run the cross ditches. Toby cut corn.
Sunday 24th I did not get to church at all Just as I was going to get ready Lewis came for me to go to a choaking cow. When I came home Jino Bannister was here with a mare for me {?} {next few lines illegible, words only} Just got {the right time?} to drive Hattie down the road and Toby got {?} but we {overtook?} {?} Toby got wheat seed and we took him down. I drove down after them again Tobe stayed down to dinner at Huberts. Dick was home all day. After dinner he and I went over to Mr Donald after his ditcher when we got back we found Henderson and McLean and their wives here. Dick went to church in the Evening.
Monday Sep 25th I had to keep Dick home from School today to help me. We ran the ditches and sowed the field up by 4 O'Clock. then I ran the cross ditches again, after the drill. Toby harrowed all day it looked very like rain but it stayed off.
