  1. The potatoes are dug out by a digger. A boon of people gather and lift the potatoes after the digger with three a-breast. Men and women and children pick the potatoes.
    The names of the different kinds of potatoes are Banners, Kerr's Pinks, Epicures, Arran Victors, British Queens, Sutens (?) cups (?) and Champions.
