I have picked cotton many times, my grandfather grew cotton. I have moved back to my home town and see all the cotton being picked with machines and think how my GF would fuss if we had trash in our sacks and if we didn't pick the bowls clean. Now they harvest plant and all, and they are in rolls here this year also. Just think how the women of yesteryear use to sit at night and pick the seeds out of the cotton and then spin on spools.

I hoe'd cotton for one summer in Gotebo Okla! 1965 to make the money to go to xray school! $150.00 for 2 years and uniforms and books! 45 years later I am still taking xrays! When I tel the "kids" that they just laugh...it costs so much more to pay tuition now! so glad I only had to do that much!
