  setting the seeds somewhat straight,

  we had foot dibblers to make the

  holes and many varied opinions

  were given by our members as to 

  the best way to proceed with the

  job. The ploughman came in for

  many a blessing when yards of 

  twisted sods were come in contact

  with. in fact some encouraged

  us very much by saying we may

  as well put the blanky seeds in

  the gory cut. However we persevered

  but sorry to realise that

  the appearance of those who

  volunteered was becoming

  gradually and beautifully less.
