Sun Aug 31 Pretty nice but threatened rain some. Lew and Bert finished raking and shocked up the hay that I had cut over on the hill and got their dollar each for doing it. I went to town with J H Howard to see a little something about the ditch business. Talked with Thoman and Alford and Gov [Governor] Eaton but I dont know how much good it will do either.

Mon Sept 1st Nice some and rained a little. The boys stacked seed alfalfa part of the day and hauled the wheat rakings. I mowed quite a piece and got it most raked into winrowes but had to stop on account of the rain so I fixed the fence West of the lower orchard. Dave took some fruit to town this afternoon.
