These cotton pickers in Swifton were proud of their day’s work. Pictured here are Pam Swink Worthington and Mrs. and Mrs. Tom Gibbs. At this late date, cotton was still picked the way it had been for centuries: by hand, with the picked bolls stuffed in large sacks, pulled along the rows behind the cotton pickers. (Courtesy of J.W.
