2.(question) we got all the bran that was ordered but have a full hundred left. Are car has been broke so much this winter. So we got the rest where it was in running order.

3. question $5.00. one dollar and half 8/.50 plow handles. 6 gallons of gas. at 16 per gal total. [$].96 for cutting stalks for cow. $1.50 for a hot shot for engine. 1 quart of oil for engine. [$].25 with tolal left [$].79 and there was out $2.00 $1.25 for lantern + [$].40 basket. which left the sum of [$].35. There a total left of $1.14

4. question yes it will be gotten as soon as we go to the city.

Max would like to know if you are sending the order for fertlizer to Tom Richerds or him?

Max say don't know how he is going get along with the team spraying alone. He said he would try it, to see

But thay feel so good thay can't be trusted.

Max say he has your plan laid out in pretty good order

Max says he afraid if the plan were put up in the shop you have to make new one's. The first good rain and thay would be gone

I hope the questions are satifactory.

The spray rig has got to have some welding done and will be done.
