Grandpa and his father plowing

Foggy

Fed our 16 chickens, 4 roosters (3 young), 3 small pullets and the rest hens. Pa and I dug potatoes rest of A.M. In afternoon we plowed with the hand plow - 1 pullie and 1 pushy. Plowed a space in back garden 20X40 and then took the single harrow, meant for a horse, and dragged that over it. Then we took some stuff over to the dump in the auto (Pa drove) and back by town so I could buy some rim cement for my tire, which is loose. Got 3 eggs today. I to library in eve and read papers and magazines.
