    (continued from previous page)
    people are sowing their potatoes in drills.
    It is all iron ploughs that are used around here as the ground is very heavy and stiff for the wooden ones.
    Some of the ploughs are made by the blacksmiths and others are bought, from the big factories where the manufacture all kinds of machinery.
