The old stand-by shade tree toe in adjustment I've used involved running a piece of masking tape or white spray paint all the way around the tire.
Then with the wheel off the ground, get it spinning, hold a fine tip Sharpie against a steady rest object and touch it to the tape or white paint. That will put a perfect line all the way around the tire. Doing it that way will eliminate any false reading caused by a bent wheel, or a less than perfect tire.
Then roll the wagon, or whatever vehicle you are working on, straight forward a few feet on flat pavement. Measure front and back between the lines, that will give the toe alignment.
If you can't get a straight measurement (and you usually can't), you can get a board, put an upright piece on each end as tall as the centerline of the wheel. Lay the board across behind the wheels, mark the lines, carefully move the board to the front of the wheels, compare the measurement.
It's a crude way of doing it, but if done carefully it will give good results!
