A short early-twentieth-century encyclopedia article describing how cotton is picked by hand in the American South. It covers the work of men, women and children in the fields, pay rates per hundred pounds, daily picking averages, the hemp picking sack and basket, and the repeated pickings of a field. A page of photographs shows cotton picking in Mississippi and an American tea plantation.
