N1  - Bontoc male workers turn the soil in a water-filled paddy while women transplant rice. Soil turning is men's work, while transplanting is done by the women, who are considered quicker and more dexterous (Jenks, 98).   Two crops are grown annually on irrigated patches--rice by irrigation during the dry season, and camote (sweet potato) without irrigation during the wet season. (See Jenks, 89-90 for description of how sementeras, or patches, are built. )
