These are the days of the bowed
head but not of humility, also the
DAYS OF the bumped back but not of
the cripple. Various groans and NUT
terings fill the air, various kinds of
sore spots are discussed also cussed.
Men may be seen going on all fours,
also walking on their knees while
others shake the whole day long.
Sounds rather like circus or some
of the antics of escaped lunatics,
however it is only the spud diggers
at work Digging potatoes is now
the order of the day and the groans
that fill the air are only those made
by the pickers as they try to
straighten out the kinks in their
backs. Most everyone has spots
that are only muscles that have been
unused for some time and that now
complain of all this sudden exercise
that they are being given. Mean
while the spud crop is being gather
ed and either hauled to market or
placed in the cellars to await higher
prices or until more time is to he
had.
