When worth your trip her( iture ( THE STORY Of COTTON The story of cotton is the story of eLothing a large part of the population f the world and of the wealth-even the very economic existence of a large part of our own country. Althoigh we find records that the Hindus used cotton as early as 8001 B. C., for the purpose o fthis story we will consider the development rath r than the history of the plant. Sea Island cotton was found grow ing on the WVest Indies Islands by Co lumbus in 14192, and it was also found by early explorers in both (f the Am The species of cotton raisedl in the United States today is thought to have originatedl in Mexico, but D)eVica, a French explorer, in 1536 found ift growing in what is now Texas and Louiiis iana. The story of cotton is dlependlent on the story as appl)1ied to its manufac ture. Prior to the invention of the cot ton gin the industry of phlan ti ng and cul - tivating cotton for commnerce was practically unknown. The labor of separating the fibre from the seegd wVas prohibitive. Probably the first cotton cultivatedl in America was in Virgin in in 1609-miore extensive cul tiv'ation was practicedl in 1621 when we find~ the price of cotton wool qjuoted at eight shillings per pound. T1he invention of the Spinning Jenny and the Tbhrostle machi ng about 1 769 and the adaptation of the latter to power--fi rst mules, then water, then in 1 790, to steami-ca ted a demand for larger quantities of a fibre which would spin into yarn. In 1773, John Kay, in lEnglasnd, in.. ventedl the flying shuttle. This is the first recorded improvement on the loom and by it the process of weaving was speeded upl.

You will go away iompai NEI weaving is the beginning of the story of cotton. From 1770 to 1792 the cultivation of cotton lagged. In 1792, however, the real impetus was given to cotton growing. A young man named Eli Whitney got a job teaching school in a rural district of the south and as the t ' owdcd he was forced to board with a private family. As part pay for his board he had to pick from the seed one p)ound of cotton lint every night, excep~t Saturday, when, the next day being Sunday, he must pick two pounds. During the long evenings Eli would grow tired picking his pound of cotton as he preferred using his brain to usin gh is fingers, ie tinally decided his job would be easy if he could get something to hold the seed~ while something else pulletd off the Ii nt. Hel ar"ranged a rack to hold the seed and a ni uber of thin ciricular comb~s or' saws to pull off the lint. The saws were mounted on a square har of iron which was pivoted at eacht end in a fradme so that it would rotate. lie put the grindtstone ceran k on one end of the sha ft antd poured the seed cotton on the rack. Did it work ? All Eli hadl to do a fter that w as turn the erianik anl his handlady was supplied with more Iinit cotton than slhe and her Iiv\e da ugh ters could1( spin0.
