JULY 27.
Clear only very smoky and pretty warm 99° in
the shade. We went to hauling poles that we
took off from the outside fence and had as much
as 3 loads of good ones and full as many
of poles that will do for stays and wood.
I got out stays awhile this afternoon then
let out some water and started in on the
buckwheat. Lew went up to the hills this afternoon.

Nice and quite comfortable had a small stream
of water running onto the buckwheat patch
and it seems to be spreading over the ground
very nicely. We kept Sunday some. I went to Mr
Goodans this morning. He is to come to cut
our wheat Tuesday. Lew got home this afternoon.
The blamed cows hooked Maude last night. She died
about noon to day. I went with Mr Smith to see his
place. I think his prospects fine for a good crop.
