was finished at noon by Dad. & the team alone. Tupper rewarded me with a dollar for my services, he said he knew I wasn't worth it but as it was a government job, he would let it go. at that. This afternoon we planted a few more mangles and have another row to plant yet.

To-night I went down to band concert, it was the first night we have been out this year and the first night I ever played in public, I guess I did as well as ever, but just about froze on the stand and was so stiff I could hardly walk home. Very much cooler and cloudier to-day.

Thursday June19th

I went out this morning and planted the rest of the mangels (one row). Dad disked up the unsowed part to the garden and then started to plow the other half of the corn field for wheat, This after noon I raked the garden and got a place ready to plant corn but only got one row of Golden Bantam in on account of the rain. Dad. plowed all the after noon

Our corn is coming up very nicely except in a few hard spots which are as dry as a bone. Dick came home to-night and we had some music to-night. We had quite a thunder shower about noon and another about tea time We needed them badly but they weren't enough
