Chopping cotton on rented land, near White Plains, Greene County, Ga. (LOC)

    Hi, I'm an admin for a group called Social Documentary Photography & events, and we'd love to have your photo added to the group.

    Has this field been planted yet? I see grass/weeds that they are 'chopping' but no cotton. One of the earlier photos shows some plant, I assume cotton, a few inches high in rows that the people are working around with hoes but not here and they should be high enough to show up. Is this just a very labor-intensive way to prepare last years ground for the new planting?
  • l0bstar said:
    They probably couldn't afford any major pieces of equipment. It was a cheap but labor intensive tillage method involving chopping down the old cotton plant stalks and turning any plant material under the soil surface.

    I am noting the even distribution of labor. No glass ceiling here.

    Most useless dating evidence ever: in 1880 Mortimer's Plymouth Dyeing Works had already been established for 106 years, according to this advert in The Royal Cornwall Gazette Falmouth Packet, Cornish Weekly News, & General Advertiser (Truro, England), Friday, October 22, 1880

    Here is the OS 25" map at GeoHive surveyed in 1898. The DIA says the National Bank (now BofI) is from 1866.

    1901 census, Main Street: McCarthy is there, but no Gaynor, FitzGibbon, Corkery, or Curtin. There is a Dore, but a boarder and shop assistant, not a shopkeeper. 1911 Census, Main Street: James McCarthy is dead, but his widow Margaret is still in business. David Hartigan, shopkeeper, has a 10 year old stepson named Jerry Curtin. James Cahill has a 4 year old stepson named Cornelius Dore.

Mounted officers and an Australian military band on parade, London, 1919

    It's geotagged as Buckingham Palace, but I can't place exactly where it is. It looks more like Australia House to me.
  • National Library NZ on The Commons said:
    Scott Davies Yes you're right - have updated the geotag. Thanks!

    I doubt this was taken in May - the trees have no leaves on them yet...
