    Folklore 24-10-'38
    Potatoes
    Long ago there was no potatoes. The people had to dig the ground to see was there any potatoes kept after the year before. Long ago the people had wooden ploughs. There is no wooden ploughs now. My father sows potatoes in the farm every year. The people used to sow the potatoes without cutting them. The people in the village sow the potatoes in ridges and in drills.
