Saturday October 5th

Frank went back to Art's to thrash this morning and they finished early before noon. Dad. and I cleaned out ditches in the wheat field and I dug a few potatoes in the corn field this morning. There are some good potatoes out there as far as size and cleanness but the wire worms are bad in them. This after noon we went back to get a load of clover seed but there was such a wind I couldn't load it and when we got a little more than the rack full t began to rain so that we had to quit. It didn't rain much but drizzled. When we came up Dad. went to cleara some more ditches and Frank dug some more potatoes. I picked what few {Duchess?} apples there were left and then washed the buggy. Huby was over with his dog and gun this after noon and he and the baby trailed all over the farm. Huby wanted to give Gyp a lesson in retrieving so shot a black bird out in the corn field and let her find it but she nabbled it and hiked for the barn with it and he supposes ate it but he couldn't get near her. He stayed to tea. Huby sstayed to tea and rode down town with Neff who came to see if we had got any more potatoes dug.
