Description
Harvesting cotton by hand picking in a field near Stoneville, Mississippi. Carrie Bown, an employee of the Delta Branch Experiment Station, is the picker. Of the total 73 man-hours of labor per acre required in picking under the non-machine method, 50 hours are consumed in picking the cotton by hand into the long canvas cotton sacks. Chopping and hoeing are the other big labor-consuming operations.
