Frank and I went up to Ham Thompson's with a heifer this morning. Ham said he would come down to morrow after noon and plant our corn for us as Dad. thinks we can have it ready by then: I shelled corn all day after I got back from Ham's. The three bushels in the crates on the cob made about a bushel and a half of shelled corn. Dad. and Frank cut down a dead apple tree in the orchard this after morning and this after noon worked both teams on the corn ground. To-night Frank and I went over to Lorne Myer's to hoe the J.F.I.A. Potatoes. Nixon Blake. Roleson and Charlie Stitt were the only others there but we got one patch the sandy one all hoed, if there had been more out we would have got them all hoed. Sunny but very cold west wind all day.

Saturday June 8th

Dad. and Frank worked both teams on the corn ground all day and have it very nice shape. I went over to Quanbury's this morning and borrowed their seed drill and sowed ten rows of mangels in the corn field just north of the potatoes. I sowed one pound of seed which we had and then got another half pound from Quanbury's and sowed it. Ham Thompson came at noon and planted corn with the machine all the after noon but didn't finish but says he will come back, Monday. The machine is certainly a rig. It is the first one we ever saw working and it is hard to believe that the rows will be in line cross ways but Ham says they will. I cut most of the lawn this after noon . To-night Frank and I went down town for a little while. Cold wind all day and white frost last night.

Sunday June 9th

Frank and I went to Sunday School this morning as Jack asked me last yester day if I couldn't get down. just as we got there we saw Jack leaving in a car with two fellows, however Aunty Maude took the class. Tid went down town Sunday School with me he said he liked it fine. Dad. and Enah drove down to church and brought Miss Phipps with them. Dad. was going to go home again to put the sheep in as some of them were out when he left, but I came home and put them in and then brought Joe back for them to drive home. Frank stayed down at Aunty's to dinner and went for a walk with Lila this afternoon. I went down town about.
