Draining the Wet Fields

May 9, 1930  A nice day.  We tried to drain away some water.
 

The Siemens had starting planting spring wheat on April 25 in Manitoba.  It had rained hard the previous two days, and it had rained a lot in the previous month, so the ground was soaked, and water was standing in the fields.  As a result, they had not been able to finish planting wheat.  Apparently, they dug some channels in the fields to try to drain water away so that the fields would dry out enough to get back in them.
