about pasture for his horse and as he said his brother J.C. Ross from Jarvis was down town Dad. thought I had better drive down and ask him if he could tell us what was causing the wool to come off our sheep. I saw him but he couldn't tell me, he said it was like scab but with it they are itchy. I took my horn down, stayed at Aunty's for tea and went to band practice to-night. Dick was down there for tea too.

Tuesday July 22nd

It was still too wet to do any hauling this morning so Frank, Dick & I cleaned up some more oats and then put what we had cleaned through again so we think now we have enough for seed cleaned up. Dad. picked blackcurrants and hoed in the garden. This after noon we hauled in the rest of the wheat in three loads one of them a small one. To-night Dick & I drove Queen up to Buter's and I got my book & brushes. It was half past eight & just dark when we got there and Willard & his brother were coming in with a load of alsike. The two of them have taken off 95 acres of hay & alsike and have their whole 150 acres in crop. Frank rode his wheel up to Kelly's
