Wednesday August 12th

For a whole week tis interesting and valuable record has been missed owing to an accumulation of circi=umstances, the terrible war being the chief upsetting cause for after reading the paper Toby had no tome to make entries in this, he wanted to go down and get his hair cut tonight so I said I would do my best to write the doings og the past week. I think we begah=n hauling out manure on the 4 acres we had sowed with buckwheat on Thursday 6th and we haukled until Saturday noon. We then got the. binde rout and cut the oats in the old well field, it was a nice crop but the weather is and has been so dry that the grain was very light.

Hubert and Frank cobbled up the fence around the hog ye=ard on Friday and Sarturday forenoon, Satirday afternoon they all shocked up oats. Sunday Morning Toby drove down to church, had dinnr at Huberts and he and Hubert went up to Charlie Hooleys in the after noon, Frank was at S.S.
