Tues July 31 It rained a little to day [today] but only
a little. Frank finished cutting the wheat and then
started with the harvester for John Dragers to cut
his barley. George went over to help Mr
C V Howard at his hay this morning. Johny
set up the wheat and helped Frank get started
then he helped me at some things but I
done lots of irrigating. I finished the piece
below the orchard and one of the little pieces
of oats and started on the 10 acre piece and
the alfalfa north of the house. The Tetafsky
and the red Astrican apples are just delicious
now this last day of July and we have the
piece north of the house and the 10 acre piece
all in the stack. I think the crops are
pretty early this season.

Wed Aug 1st. About like July
weather. A little rain just at night but not
enough to do much good or hurt. I irrigated a
lot to day [today] and Johny and I stacked two loads
of barley too.

Thurs Aug 2nd Pretty this
morning but it gave us quite a shower about
2 O clock and drizzled quite a lot more and
it rained quite a bit last night so
it must be a pretty growing time now
for awhile. I have irrigated a good deal to
day [today] finished the piece above the house and
irrigated the strawberrys and have irrigated
a good deal on the ten acre piece.
John done various odd jobs.
