Description:Another job found for the schoolboys was stooking oats. Mr Wilson their leader wrote, "The stooking of oats was not quite such a rush job (as potato picking), but there was a blazing sun at the time, picking up the bundles of oats with a pitchfork and arranging them into stooks was really warm work".
