The potato crop.
Potatoes are one of the principal foods of man.
They are a very wholesome food.
When the potatoes are to be soed, the farmer opens the drills with a plough.
Then the potatoes are cut in slices with an eye in each slice. Then manure is put between the drill. Then the potatoes are soed over the manure and the drills are shut.
After a month or two small buds begin to appear above the soil.
They they are second moulded.
Shortly after this weeds begin to grow up between the drills.
These have to be taken away or they will not let the potatoes grow. When the potatoes stalks are a foot, small blossoms begin to appear.
In about three weeks after the blossoms have appeared, the potatoes can be dug for use.
But they cannot be all day togeter until all the stalks are withered. Then they are all dug and put in a hole in the field or brought into the hayyard or barren.
