Monday, June 20-You will think |
have forgotten our industrial work
No, no, can't, for long, but like to
tell you of other things. Our brick
kiln is still going through the water
smoking process. and we feel certain
of dandy burn. The dairy water-sys-
TEN is finished sufficiently to allow the
dipping tank to be filled, and we are
ready to dip the cattle tomorrow; al
SO water is now pumped to the cattle |
and hogs. and Earl Rowe has lost part
Of his job, but this does not mean that
Earl will have less to do; it means he
will be able to do more work from now
on. with less labor. Ole was tuning up
the "brick-maker," getting ready for
another run of brick in the near fu-
ture. The saw mill crew'is turning out
finished lumber for the sweet potato
crates and also saving out some hard
wood lumber. Satnan and Vernon
Boyce are hauling wood for the brick
burning and have about enough in to
complete the job. Lindsey and Darth
are plowing in. the east bottom field
and will have the job completed to-
morrow. Van Nuland is still planting
COW peas at the orchard and Kemp is
planting corn north Of the mule barn.
Owing to the rain some of our crops
have been held back, but the things
that are already planted are getting the
advantage of these nice local showers. !
The most of the farm crew is again
planting sweet potatoes and no better
weather could be had for this Job.
Harry Bell has started on his Job as
storekeeper and is expecting an old l.;
friend of his to come and join him, at
which time we will organize a CONNER
cial department to handle the COM
mercial side of the Colony through one j
man, only. George Thomas is getting c
anxious for us to put in an ice plant, t
and we should worry! IF we do gel c
one, we want all the modern conven- t
lences we can get and the sooner the h
better" d" Chas, Anderson is now char S
