Concord (Farm & Ball's Hill)
Ther [Thermometer] Wednesday, June 17, 1914 Wea [Weather]
Fine.
Brilliantly clear with fresh westerly
breeze. Neither warm nor cool. Perfect day.
  Duren came down to spray. I went 
with him to Birch Field, where we
sprayed a large white oak, & thence
to the rear of Blakeman Ridge where
he & George spent remainder of day.
The oaks there are badly infested
& well nigh stripped. Gilbert came
with the motor car at 10 & took
me back to Farm. In P.M.
Zeph & I watered two strawberry
beds & sprayed some wild apple
trees in Berry Pasture. After 
that I strolled about the place
with Tiny Tim, the little terrier.
As I was standing behind our
house at 8 P.M. listening to a Veery,
2 Robins & a Whippoorwill, all in full
song at once, a Woodcock came
flying low & slowly past me from
direction of Berry Pasture. I thought
it alighted somewhere in the garden.
It is the first noted by me this year.

Concord - Wolfeboro.
Ther [Thermometer] Thursday, June 18, 1914 Wea [Weather] 
Fine
Clear & cool with light westerly winds.
  Gilbert & I left Farm at 8.15 A.M. &
motored to Cambridge via Sandy Pond
& Trapelo road. Spent two hours in
Museum & house going thence to Boston
about noon to lunch at North Station
& take 1.15 train for Wolfeboro which
I reached about 5.30. Galloupe met
me there. Went direct to Mr. Haley's
house where I am to stay. Signed
diplomas & walked about Academy 
grounds before supper. Very few
birds singing. No Bobolinks, Meadow
Larks or Orioles. Strong colony of
Eave Swallows nesting under eaves of
Academy, mostly on front (easterly) side,
and of Purple Martins in houses a 
little further up road. Spent evening 
discussing school conditions with Haley
& Sargent. They feel strongly that
Miss Heartz is a detriment to school.
Mr. & Mrs. Haley are unwilling to stay
on much longer unless she is got rid of.
Can it be done & if so, how?
