    people had were wooden ploughs. These were the first ploughs that took the place of the spade. There are not any of these left now.
    The spades that the people use are bought in a shop. The spades that the people used long ago were made in the forge. The ways that the ground is prepared are, first the ground is ploughed then the field is ploughed secondly and after a while it is harrowed and the drills are opened with a plough and manure is spread in them. Then the the slits are spread in them and they are closed. There are all kinds of potatoes sown in this district
