Picking Cotton |

This is a picture of three women picking cotton near Clarksdale, Mississippi. The long bags they have on their backs is where they would put the cotton that they had picked. This was a very tedious job because they had to pick the cotton one by one. These day laborers had to put in crucial hours because if the field took a hard hit by a freeze it would kill the cotton. So there could be fifty day laborers in one field trying to get all the cotton picked, so the farmers could make more money. |
