Mon July 17 Hot and dry as ever but to night
it is blowing like a [wollycain?] and it thunders
loud and lighnings bright and we would expect
rain if it was not needed so bad.
Lew and Frank hauled 6 loads of hay from the
south east piece on windy hill. Kib picked
cherries in the forenoon and raked in the after-
noon. I mowed all day. I cut the 6 acre piece
and about half an acre more.

Tues July 18 A delightful day after
the nice little shower that we had last night.
About 8 O clock it rained enough to do
quite a bit of good. Lew and Frank cleaned
up the poles along the outside fence and they
made some stays to stay the fence along
by the barley piece and this afternoon
they hauled 2 loads of hay. Kib helped
on the pole and fence doings this forenoon
and raked in the afternoon. I mowed
this forenoon and worked at spreading and
shocking this afternoon.

Wed 19 Thurs 20 and Fri 21 I went to Denier and
I took 3 treatments. It does not seem to
make me as sore as I was when I
went down in June. I found Mr Gores
folks about as usual only Mr Gore is
very much concerned about this terrible
crisis in money matters that the country
is now being cursed with thousands of
people thrown out of employment and
