Frank finished the field with the spring tooth this morning and then I took the roller out with the little team and smashed up some of the worst lumps. Frank followed me again with the spring tooth and this after noon Dad. took Billy & Harry out and disked, we think we will have it in shape to sow to-morrow after noon. Frank and I cleaned up some more seed oats this after noon. To-night Marj. & I went down town, she went to the Girls' auxillary and I went with the Band up to Doc. Lemmons. We took him up a wicker chair and spent a very nice evening. We played several pieces then he & Lou. sang & we all sang & had cake & coffee. Hot & dry wind.
