Transcription
[1911] Sept. 11 - 1911 - Left Lincoln at 7:15 and arrived at Geneva at 9:00 am. Drove at once with Mr. Brown to the nurseries. Examined first a smaller field, then the propagating field and finally the apple field of thousands of young trees. Was particularly careful in examination of the field from which was reported Putnan Scale this year. Some leaves affected with Cedar rust. Returned to Lincoln same night. The inundated corn field saw five Solitary Sandpipers. One fine male Redtailed Hawk flew over. Sept. 12 - 1911 Left Lincoln at 9:40 for Fairbury where arrived at noon and inspected Galbraith and Fairbury nurseries in the P.M. Stock not nearly as good as at Geneva but no dangerous pests there. Cedar rust prevalent on apple and powdery mildew abundant on cherry and plum. Harburt's stuff on low land particularly poor, better on the hill. Left for Beatrice in the evening where arrived at 9: P.M. Barn swallows thick on the telegraph wires. Sept. 13 - 1911 Inspected Sonderregger's German Nursery in the morning. Stuff fair, better than at Fairbury. Roses had Black spot (Actinonema rosae). Saw a Cooper Hawk and other ordinary birds only.
