  1. The farmers of this district sow about two acres of potatoes every year. Some of the farmers give ground to the labourers to plant potatoes, to return the compliment the labourers will give them a helping hand when they are busy.
    Plough men generally prepare the ground. It is sometimes manured first and then ploughed. The drills are then made in the Spring and the seed sown.
