- The people about here always make a large bon-fire on the twenty third of June. They go then and take some of the old burned sticks that are not burned out and they carry them in to every field of potatoes on their lands. They throw a bit into every field to see will the tops of potatoes hold them up. If the potato tops hold them up they say that there is a good crop in it.
