Papa went to get crushing done again this morn, the last time they crush before harvest.  We sprayed our potatoes today.  Uncle Fred & Aunt Mary came here, from here they went to Collins Sale at Red Bud, they bought a rocking chair, & a wood box.  We went to Belleville & looked at a horse, then we went out to Kerber’s sale, it wasn’t much of a sale.  It rained this afternoon by Belleville.  Rittmeyer where to have a barn dance tonight but it was post poned until tomorrow night.
