- (continued from previous page)We, children, generally work at the spreading of the manure and the dropping of the seed.
Then the farmer takes his two horses, sometimes he uses only one horse, and splits the drills with the drill plough. One half of the drill to each side, right and left, and the mould covers up the manure and seed.
If a farmer has only one horse, he joins with one of this neighbours and between them they both put in the two crops.
4th May 1938.
