Saturday May 22nd

I went over to Martin's first thing this morning and finished shearing the sheep. I got home about eleven and wheeled out a barrow load or two of manure to put around my hedge but as Frank had the seed potatoes all treated for scab and ready to cut, I cut them till noon. Dad. plowed the potato ground this morning and Frank treated the seed and helped Dad. fork the manure out of the road of the shear. This after noon Frank and I cut seed. It took us till after four as we cut it all. Dad. worked down the land and furrowed it out but we didn't get it all planted. We planted four rows and Frank put fertilizer on three of them and Dad. covered them. Fine and warm to-day
