  1. Potato Crop

    Share Share Post
    The people about put down potatoes every year. It is always in drills that they put down the potatoes. They make splits of the potatoes about here. When the potatoes are down about a month they pull the chicken weed off the drills. Then they must dig shoughs and shovel them. The people about here have to put spray on the potatoes or they would take the disease.
