    the potato crop is then woman of the house makes slits and puts them into bags for two days. Then the farmer sticks them and after a few days he sows them. When harvest comes they are dug and the big ones picked from the small ones and put into two different pits.
    The local names for the potatoes are Champions, Up to dates, Kerry pinks, Epicures, Flounders, and Garden fillers.
