Carolyn Gay Taft Farm Letter - April 19, 1934

To Miss Taft

Yes I guess spring has came unless we get an other snow storm

The geese went over to-day and so low you could see them real plain thay were not over six feet above the maple tree by barn. I have been real sorry all day Max did not have a gun to get one. I never seen them so low.

The grass seed was not in yet went Max went to see Saturday.

Mr Lardie say he has spray material ready. and to call and he will have it over in fifteen minutes. and he don't like to come in the way we travel on account of getting with big truck

My hands are swollen up and cracked open. I was out rakeing yard and I guess wind was to strong or my skin is to dry. So it no plesure to write but will do the best I can.

Yes Max can hire gene Russell roller. only half field can be seeded for some time as you know the water came clean thru wood over to well on this side and she not going down very fast.

Max has not found any split trees he has been all over the orchard.

Max say he was all over orchard to day April 18 and could not find any black centers in them The young orchard & sweet cherries and most of south orchard has been covered.

Yes we will have ever thing in ready your spray. including gas & oil and engine working We just found out he had it for sale when I wrote you. as he asked Max to ask you

Yes I understand Morgan & McClusky settled Yes I would like to have just half of it would do a lot of good.

Yes there plenty of salt on hand for animal Max open the last sack a while back.

Yes you have some money left from before. on $5.00 there $3.17 left.

Max say the man says its a hard job to find a mate for Bess. But will give your money back. The only think Max see is a perfect team is one Tom shane has for $4.25. Black mares 5 [?] 6 year's. Do you think she should be kept. Max is worried about her.

The Brush is hauled and burnt.

I guess that all the farm progress.

Best of Wish

Max & Hazel & sonny
