and Boone seed oats. If the farm program sponsors lining again this year, (Never did get it last) I might sign up for some. That three [illegible] chunk that had silo corn & [sorgo?] in it last year should grow another good crop for the silo this year, and this fall after the corn is cut off it should be lined and manured and put into alfalfa the following spring. Unuse [illegible} badly run out chunks on the back of the farm, the one next to Goodspeed & Crowdall in the corner, and the one next to the Bupp farm line I would like to leave and put them into sweetclover to plow under as green manuare crop. Clearly Hoeppel out near my place has certainly built his place up in that manner. Hope Bob can sell the colt get what you can for him, or get someone to break him and keep him until he is five or six years old. He is just a nuisance out there on the farm. Today I got some swell new clothes, a light brown jacket that would cost at least $20 outsdie, a lightweight wool gipper sweater, one of the B-4 bags like I had at home, a pair of dress gloves and a pair of summer flying coveralls and a grand pair of sun glasses, ground lenses and all. Don't get excited about these flying clothes because a crew chief is entitled to them even tho he doesn't fly much. I want to write to Bob tonight so will close. Love, Johnny
