  2. The Potato Crop

    Share Share Post
    The local people help one another in sowing the potatoes. They pick the potatoes from the earth with their hands. The farmer stores the potatoes in lofts and in pits.
    The names given to the kinds of potatoes are Kerr's Pinks, Oran Banners, Great Scots, Oran Pilot, May Queens, and many other kinds of potatoes.
