    When a hill beside the school was cut down, and an avenue cut into the house of Mr Wallace. The men employed were like walking skeletons and quite a number of them dropped dead at work. The "Red Rock" potato was the only potato sown at that time. Mrs Wallace tells a story which she hear from her mother. When she had a scanty meal prepared for a family of ten a man who had had not food for several days walked in, and ate all the food himself.
