Most of the people of the region have been farmers, and like many other agricultural communities they have been faithful to their dialect. They have their folklore, popular dances and songs. The author has collected one hundred and twenty-three folksongs of four-lines each, of which we publish here forty-three. While most of the songs speak of love, work and hope, a goodly number look at these experiences satirically.
