I was raised inthe cottonfields of Arkansas, and I began working inthem in 1945 and continued until 1954. I wasn't much on picking (didn't know it then, but I had a crushed vertabra), but I could chop or hoe cotton with the best of the adults. I once got ahead of two top hands for two days, and it put me in bed for 2-3 days, a little much for a kid of 11-12 years of age.<br /><br />While a student at Columbia Univ. in NYC in the summer of '71, I was called a liar by a fellow from NC when I spoke of people who could pick 400-800 lbs a day. I was shocked at first, then I asked, "What kind of cotton you talking about? Short Staple or Long Staple?" He was talking about Short Staple, while I was speaking of Long Staple, a cotton with a longer lint and a heavier weight. Thanks for the memories of so long ago.Dr. James Willinghamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12508460179827823148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4168338580325083648.post-55950546359115942292011-02-27T19:15:18.692-08:002011-02-27T19:15:18.692-08:00Sometimes it's hard to contain one's desir...Sometimes it's hard to contain one's desire for Him to come and come quickly. selahVselahVhttp://selahvtoday.typepad.comnoreply@blogger.com
