   they are pitted in the filed where they are dug. Then the workman brings them home to the garden beside the farmyard. He fills the eart with potatoes and leaves the horse by the headland while doing so. The potatoes are stored in pits in the ground. In this part of the country the potatoes are covered with clay and straw and in other parts they are covered with "scraws" (bog).
   There are many kinds of potatoes sown in Ireland Kers pink, Queens, Aran Banners. Garden Fillers are the potatoes that grow on our land best. Long ago people used potatoes for starch the washed clothes in the water that boiled potatoes.
   Maria Porter.

   Long ago when the people of this country could not afford to but starch they thought of a plan to make starch from potatoes for starching clothes. They would got about a dozen potatoes and grate them the grated potatoes into a musbon cloth and squeeze the water from them into a basin.
   They would leave the basin a night to set and in the morning they would spill off the light water and keep their thick stuff for starch. When the woman of house wanted to starch the clothes she had nothing to do only stick her hand into the basin and put it on the cloth to stiffen them. Before she would starch them she would pour boiling water on it and then put strain the cloth. It is there custom nowadays to make starch from flour and boiling water and sometimes buys bobers starch in the shops.
