May
22, 1930 Jacob sowed the last
wheat. Corney harrowed. Mary cleaned another room. Mama made food. Jacob sowed barley. Corney, Johan, and I got barley from Reids.
Finally, they
planted the last wheat in Manitoba. They
had started on April 25, but there had been so much rain that it was only on
May 22 when they got the last of it sowed.
Cornelius was
hard-working, and it was very important to him that his children learn to
work. You can see the value he placed on
work because most of his diary entries record that work that was done that
day. This day is a classic example of
that because he tells the work that each person did, what each person did to
contribute to the development of the farm.
