ravenous appetites. When the dishes were washed we had to remove the clay, which seemed to penetrate into the floor and furniture. The newspaper and television were put on hold during the harvest season, and the electricity was used sparingly. Everyone was tired, and was glad to retire early. We were happy when the crop was safely stored, but the farmer's work was not over yet. He would spend most of the winter months grading potatoes over a hand screen. His next chore was to carry the bags of potatoes up from the basement, load them on a truck, and often take them to the railway station. Here, there would be more handling before they were sold. Today, when we see bulk trucks loaded with potatoes leaving the fields, we are amazed by the small amount of manual labor that is required. Thank God for modern technology! ■„.■ ■■,:■ ■■:■:■■■ :■■' WM&M- i WM ■■; *j8&**» 3&$$t 81
