1. The Potato Crop

   

   Roinn Roinn Postáil

   Potatoes are grown on my farm. About three acres are sown under potatoes each year but the amount varies. Sometimes before the ground is ploughed seaweed is spread on the ground and allowed to remain for some time before it is ploughed down. Potatoes are mostly sown in drills. The ground is ploughed, harrowed and ploughed again. It is harrowed and then the drills are opened with a drill plough. Spades are bought in a shop.
   People sometimes morrow as it is called by carting manure to the drills, ploughing the land, opening drills and sowing corn. When the potatoes come to the top of the drills they are moulded and after some time the bottoms of the drills are grubbed and moulded again.
   In the harvest time they are sprayed three times to keep the blight away. When potatoes are ready for digging they are dug with a spade or a potato digger and sometimes the drills are ploughed out like a furrow and are dug with a spade and are gathered by hand. Potatoes are mostly stored in pits until Spring comes then
