I was raised in The South, literally in cotton fields, which were everywhere. Blacks and whites picked cotton in the late summer early fall by the thousands all over The South.

Then they invented a Cotton Picking Machine. It was slow to take off at first because of the expense, but eventually displaced all the stoop labor. One man could pick an entire field of 50 acres in a day that would have taken a couple of weeks..................
