Saturday August 10th
Frank and I had to go up to Ham Thompson's this morning and when we got back we all three went back to straighten up some of the oat sheaves in the back field Some of them were pretty wet but not sprouted. Dad. finished fixing up the calf pen and let the whole six of them out This after noon Frank cut around the oat field just east of the lane and cut a road through it. Dad. and I shocked up. I got a couple of loads of oats with 100 grains on them. Frank found them and we are going to keep them for seed. To-night Dad. Enah and Frank all went down town. It has been pretty hot to-day and doesn't feel clear yet.
