June 1, 1915 Miss Taft- I have used the pads. Crampton has got a horse so don't want Dick he couldn't wait so long. I cultivated the corn and potatoes. I think there will be about a third of a crop of cherries We had a real hard frost and froze most every thing. it froze the hay. I will need some more oil but not right away. I also need some more hay. Captain Emorys boat isn't running, Lardies trucks make two trips a day I don't know of any other truck that comes out now. I think Burr will weigh somewhere around a hundred pounds. A veal calf should have nothing but milk and you can't get as much for them if fed on something else but if you keep hime untill fall you ought to get a better price. The weather is so dry nothing can grow much and the apples havn't set yet. the corn is just begining to come up. Your fodder cane is planted east of you potatoes on your place as there was no good place at Stutsmans for it. I have got the mower pole. I have the orchards plowed and one draged. Stutsmans want me to come down there tomorrow and plough and the alfalfa needs to be cut right away and I havn't got the mowing machine put together yet and I have got more work here than I can tend to. I will have to have the rake sent out right away so I can use it. The frost didn't hurt the oats but it hurt the grass and burnt some of the clover black and hurt some of the new seeding in the oats. it froze down some of your asparagus. Ralph
