What is the history of the cotton chopper?

There is no "cotton chopper". There is a cotton picker and it was developed in the early 1900's. Before that cotton was hand picked. Cotton grows on a bush type plant that forms flowers that becomes cotton bolls. To pick the cotton the plant has to be killed and then the cotton can be gotten off the boll because it is open. This is not easy because the raw cotton is tough to work with and very dense. The cotton picker goes through the field than pulls the cotton off the bolls. It takes several times to get all of the cotton. When cotton was hand picked it was put into bags until full.
