Dear Miss Taft
I am sorry to be so late in writing. But have been helping Max with the corn. He has 200 of good corn and 35 bushel soft & nubins. and more to haul. and more to husk. He hasen't got the big piece done yet. wondering where to put it all. Crib is nearly full. He wont be able to get all the good corn in crib.
There a few cider apple thay are only .15 per hundred. Max figure there worth more than that for feed what do you think.
The new mail man come early then old one. know. come's about twelve ocloak.
The weather has been pretty good for fall weather. When it rain's it just takes 2 days and rain' steady nite & day.
The shaw have moved. away. Mr shaw doesen't like fruit farming he likes more general farming.
There were 100 pumpkins. The carrots have growed a little, Max say he is going pull them this week.
The leaves are droping off. trees except cherries leaves are just turning.
Max has been busy shoot red squirrel there just thick in woods by corn. Ronald is pretty good know. he has quite a busy time traveling from corn field to the house.
You will see by paper where a man got killed out by acme crossing saturday He was my uncle. Mother brother. leaves a wife and 9 children. Youngest 10 year's
no body left for Florida from here this year.
We bought a home comfort for .15. hoping to get home soon. we have a fire in heater most all the time know.
The cow is making 4 pd of butter a week.
the pasture is getting shor't.
I have blue dress all ripped up to make Ronald suit out off. hoping two or more.
Did hear any more about oats. Don't think Mr Zang wen't.
