Additional Details:
The most expensive process of cotton culture is the picking of it; despite various inventions, hand picking is the most satisfactory, and from 30 to 50 cents a hundred weight is paid men, women and children. 200 to 300 pounds of seed cotton is considered a good day's work; the fields are picked once in two or three weeks, and the season lasts about three months
