April 18, 1943:
Sunday. I went to visit Percy Radwell in the democrat with Gleam and Embers this afternoon. It was my first visit there in 7 years. The grades are still bad in spots but the highway is getting dry. I found them all home and saw baby John Radwell for the first time.
I asked Percy about hatching eggs but they could not supply me as they have no roosters. Percy will let us have some Victory seed oats at 35 cents a bushel. John Senft is getting seed oats and barley from Percy.
Percy cut 15 loads of crested wheat grass hay off 4 acres last year in 2 cuttings. I heard that Mrs. Thompson's oldest crippled son died last Thursday.
April 19: I went to Fishers this morning to try and get some hatching eggs but Mrs. Fisher had put all hers in the basement and thought they would be too chilled to set. She phoned up Mrs. Goff but their eggs were the same. Mr. and Mrs. Fisher have not been any too well lately and Tom Goff is crippled up from being kicked by a horse.
Mr. Fisher was hauling water and putting it down a well. Ernest Senft is now a father. Mrs. Fisher promised to save some eggs for me.
In the afternoon I went on 25 and got 30 green poles for Dad to make a new hen house with.
