    Folklore
    The Potato crop.
    There are a lot of potatoes growing
    in our farm. We sowed about
    two acres this year. Some years we
    sow more and other years less.
    my father manured the ground
    and made it into ridges.
    We sowed all the potatoes in ridges
    this year. There were wooden
    ploughs long ago. The people
    never use these empliments now.
    People help one and other in
    tilling the soil. In Autumn the
    men dig the potatoes.
