"Planted alfalfa seed last Saturday (March 7) in muddy field. Finished north and south broad cast on March 8 (Sunday) and part of the east and west second broad cast. On the 12th almost finished. Most of the field is settled smooth crust with about a half acre sanded. The part that was not plowed but just disked is porous and lumpy looking like a more favorable seed bed. There was quite a blizzard or severe snow squall while I was sowing yesterday. The dogs stole my marking stake one and I was mystified to know what had become of it because it was no where to be found near where I had placed it. I saw the two dogs romping across the field ahead of me and this gave me an inkling. There lay the limb that I was using as a marker, out in the middle of the field. While I was walking away from it, Rowdy pulled it up and rollicked out there with it. Ritz was also a party to the fun. Rowdy still has wonderfully strong teeth.
Burt McKee died March 11. His funeral will be tomorrow, the carriers (D.C. was a postal carrier) acting as pallbearers."
