Scope and content: Full caption reads as follows: Harmony Community, Putnam County, Georgia.... When the cotton is three or four weeks old, the rows of closely spaced plants are chopped out with hoes, leaving them divided into small clumps separated by hoe-width spaces. This work must be done within a certain period of time, and generally every member of the family helps out. Shown...is the family of a white owner. The father does one row while his three children do another.... The drought this year has been so bad that in some fields cotton has not come up at all. These stands are not half as good as they should be by this time of the year.
