"Planters out there told me thore's no money in it; why pick it?" he said; "Also con\ing down through tiie Carolina*, I saw many fields of ootton which evidently had never had a picker in them. The cleanly picked field was the exception in the Carolina*, Oklahoma and Texas, as I observed the cotton plantations. "I would judge that the 1920 cotton crop will not be picked before the i middle of December?possibly not by then at the present rateSEverywhere I heard the complaint of the very high rates demanded vby cotton pickers? $2 to $3.50 per hundred pounds."
