I remember doing this from the time I was little. I used to carry a syrup bucket and fill it up with cotton and then my mom would empty it in her sack. When we got older we had our own sack. The older we got the longer the sack. Had sore hands and sore knees all the time. If we got tired of bending over we would crawl on our knees pulling the sack. Long days in the cotton fields. Prayed for rain, because when it rained we got to go to school. Never went to school a full year...had to pick that cotton. My sister and did manage to graduate from high school. Talk about a back breaking job.....this was it.
