It was nearly noon when I got that done but I went over and sowed the rest of the turnip patch before dinner. Dad. cultivated in the garden all morning. Frank was down town most of the morning as the tire came off his wheel last night while he was down town and he went down to get it. He also got some 12 gauge shot gun shells to shoot at the crows in the corn field. Art Quanbury left him his shot gun. Aunty Alice was over to dinner. This after noon we tacked up the rest of the wire along the north end west side of the field so now just have the front to put the posts and wire along. we got a cheque for ninety dollars to-day as part payment for our wool. Sunny but cool breeze.

Thursday June 20th

Frank took down the piece of wire that ran along the north end of the plum orchard and we took it out and finished the west side of the field with it. Frank and I finished boring the holes along the front while Dad hoed in the garden. This after noon we started putting the cement posts in and got 12 of them out there and about 8 or 9 set. It was a big job getting them lined up as some of the holes had to be enlarged as they were a little out of line. They show much plainer if they are not just straight than the others do but they certainly look neat and substantial when they are in right. Enah went down town this after noon and when we came up there was a whole pile of calling tickets on the table which had been left by Winnie, Dess & some of the Zealand's while Enah was away. To-night I went down town the school house where Marj. and the other teachers were registering folks in accordance with the new regulation making it compulsory for every man & woman over 16 years of age to register and answer a question card before by June 22nd. It was nearly dark when I got down so they had to quit work. I went home with Marj. and she registered me down there. I was the 97th one she had done. The war news just now looks pretty good. The big Austrian drive in Italy has been stopped with out them gaining enough to make up for their bosses and the African French troops broke up a German rush for Rheims. Sunny but cold wind.

Friday June 21st

We took out the rest of the cement posts this morning and the roll of wire for the front but didn't get any more set as it began to rain and rained pretty
