Not a good way to get rich in cotton farming
In earlier days families picked their own cotton and saved the difference. Now farmers employ professional pickers paid only a fraction of the cotton value, draining the farmer’s resources. The rush to harvest and gin is criticized, and the promised mechanical cotton picker remains scarce as another season ends.

The Dallas News notes timid debut prospects for a mechanical cotton picker. Hand picking has sufficed to meet market demand, and many farmers prefer to harvest themselves to keep the picking money, making widespread machine use unlikely even if more were available. The piece argues field owners will pick their own crop to protect earnings.
