Mr. Green came in this morning for a little visit before breakfast and sat by the door with his hat on all the time we were eating. We couldn't do very much out side to-day on axccount of the weather but this morning we fonished cleaning up the wheat and this after noon started to clean up oats but didn't get much done Emery came over with the pieces he is going to put on the bed piece of the rack to rest on the holster imstead of the cross pueces on the holster but he xcouldnt finish the job as the parts he brought over didn't haver a long wnough thread cut on them.

Tonight I went down to band practice with Emery. I wore my steel boots and gaiters to keep off the mud and I left my horn at Huby's. It has rained nearly all day to-day with thunder and lightening but seems to have cleared off to-night. It seems there is a new fellow now negotiating woth the town concerning a canning factory they have formed a joint stock company and yesterday sold @8000 worth of shares they want to sell $15000 worth.
