Item 11: Hoeing Cotton, Dallas, Texas, U.S.A.

Black-and-white image of a man hoeing a cotton field. After the field is plowed, the plow is followed by laborers, who draw the loose soil around the plants. This process is called "hauling" and is done to keep the plants erect. This process is done from time to time until four "haulings" have been made. When blossoming time is over no further haulings need to be made. The man seen here is drawing the earth up around the plant. Meadville, Pa.: Keystone View Company, ca. 1905. 17.75 x 8.75 cm.

Format: Stereoptic print.
