   to roll a few wisps.
   Dicky Carey who lived in your back yard, Master, where the outhouses are was a great mower. He used to put a "gom" of tobacco tied up in a rag in his mouth and kept it there all day. The rag was to keep him from swallowing or losing it.

   Crops
   Wheat + Oats were sowed in ridges which had to be shovelled. This was very heavy work and often had a lump on my thigh from the shovel handle rubbing against it. It took four men to the acre of wheat and six to the acre of oats. There were bigger furrows for the wheat than for the oat crop therefore less men were required. The women did the binding and sometimes their babies were put to rest underneath the stook
   These had to be fed at times during the day. Youd often hear a man shout "Betty, go + look after your child"

   From
   Bryan Maguire . Born 1869
   Cronellard, Inch
   Co Wexford.
