They help each other setting the potatoes. In summer, you have to raise clay to the drills with a plough. The furrow of ridges has to be ploughed, stoned and grubbed, and then the clay is put up on the ridges with a shovel. After a bit, the weeds have to be removed. Then people spray them to keep away the blight. Some people plough them, other people have machines for digging them, and if they have not much to dig, they dig them with spades. The boys and women pick the potatoes, and if there are a lot to be picked, the neighbours help each other. They pick the potatoes into buckets, they first pick the good ones, and put them in a heap which is called a pit. Then they go back and pick the small ones, and bring them in, in bags and boil them for the pigs. The people what have the machines, they pick them all together and choose them afterwards. They store them in pits.
The local names given to potatoes are, Champions, Flounders, Irish Queens, Land Leaguers, Up-to-dates, Black Bulls, Kerpinks and British Queens. The Kerpinks grow best in this district. In former times, they were used instead of starch.
