- (continued from previous page)There are about two and a half acres of potatoes grown on our farm. In the month of December farm manure is spread on the land. Then in the month of January it is ploughed into the ground. This is only done in lea-ground.
In March it is harrowed and there are drills made with a plough. The seed is dropped then, and there is some bag manure put on them, and the drills are closed again.
The kind of seed that are grown are Aran Banners, Epicures, Aran Victors, Kerr Pinks and Great Scotts. The potatoes that grow best in the district are Aran Banners, Kerr Pinks, and Epicures.(continues on next page)- Collector
