- In this country the men usually put the potatoes in ridges and drills. The men in this country get pig manure and spread it on the potatoe ground when it is plowed, and then they dig furrows and they get a bag of clay and cut the potatoes in two places and dip them in the clay. If it is in ridges they are putting the potatoes they put them in threes, and if it is in drills they put them in ones.
They mowl the potatoes because if they do not the potatoes would not grow very good.
When they do not want them to get wet they put them in little heaps and put hay, straw, and then sods of grass over them.- Collector
