Today it will have a better chance as there is only a slight breeze. But now we have a new worry. last night there was "a black frost" and Partner is afraid it may have killed the grass just starting to grow in the pasture fields. If so it will make it bad for farmers who are short of hay and. are just waiting for the grass to grow and the weather to warm up so they can turn their tattle out on "pasture. We are lucky--we still have enough hay in the barn to last until June 1, if necessary. But believe me, the cattle won't think much of that June 1 idea! The other day, when they were out to water, they discovered to their joy that the gate to the back garden had not been properly fastened. One young heifer . promptly finished the job and. when I looked out of the window all the cows were happily munching away at the succulent green-grass as if they hadn't a minute to lose. As indeed they hadn't, as I was soon on my way to call Partner, then be- tween us, and Tippy, the cows' ill- 'gotten gain was cut short-- and quickly. But the mischief was done. Now every time the cows are let out they crowd around and bawl in .disappointed protest at finding the gate securely fastened--an:d with a chain around for extra protection. ~Well, last week 1 did a bit of gad-~ ding.

Finally at the end of anything but a perfect day I came home with only one purchase--a pair of crepe- sbled canvas shoes! Came Friday and I sct out for Guelph in a dress that was too thin: a coat that has long since forgotten when it was new, and my old black felt hat.

Oh' yes, the June Bug took ° along other W.I. members too - and - she really buzzed along the road very nicely, We arrived in good time and were rewarded for our trip by hearing Mr8, Raymond Sayre, International President of - the Associated Country Women of the World. Mrs. Sayre is the type of .persoii who speaks from the heart --and to the heart.
