- In this vicinity there is an old belief that if a person were suffering from warts and if he got an oaten or wheaten straw and cut it off at the knot and made the Sign of the Cross with the straw and buried the straw, then as still as the straw would decay the wart would fade and die away. Of course this is only superstition.
