What happens after cotton is ginned?
After ginning, the raw fiber, now called lint, makes its way through another series of pipes to a press where it is compressed into bales (lint packaged for market), banded with eight steel straps, sampled for classing, wrapped for protection then loaded onto trucks for shipment to storage yards, textile mills and foreign countries. The cotton industry has adopted a standard for a bale of cotton, 55 inches tall, 28 inches wide, and 21 inches thick, weighing approximately 500 pounds. A bale meeting these requirements is called a universal density bale. This is enough cotton to make 325 pairs of denim jeans.Every bale of cotton is classed from a sample taken after its formation. The classing of cotton lint is the process of measuring fiber characteristics against a set of standards (grades). Classing is done by experts, called classers, who use scientific instruments to judge the samples of lint. All standards are established by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Once the quality of the cotton bale is determined, pricing parameters are set and the lint may be taken to market. Cotton marketing is the selling and buying of cotton lint. Cotton is priced in cents per pound when sold and the price is negotiated according to the cotton's quality. After baling, the cotton lint is hauled to either storage yards, textile mills, or shipped to foreign countries. The cotton seed is delivered to a seed storage area. Where it will remain until it is loaded into trucks and transported to a cottonseed oil mill or directly for livestock feed.
How does cotton go from plant to cotton?
Cotton is a bushy plant that is grown in different parts of the United States. In CA we plant our cotton by seed in the early spring and it grows all summer. The cotton plant has a flower that blooms and this flower becomes a cotton boll. The cotton boll is picked in late fall with a mechanical cotton picker. Before this can be done the plant has to be killed and this is done through a chemical application sprayed on the plant. After the plant is dead the machine goes through the field pulling the cotton off the boll. This takes several times to get all the cotton and it is put into big trailers that hold the loose picked cotton. It is then taken to a cotton gin where it is ginned, the seeds removed and baled. The seeds are used to plant the next year for the new crop of cotton.
Most enslaved plantation workers held what job?
There were many different jobs on the plantation, there were things for when you were young, like toting water and finding firewood, and as you got older you took care of other children, pulled weeds, and ginned cotton. Once you were over twelve (usually that was how old you had to be) you could work out in the fields picking cotton.
How did the slave driven cotton industry operate in the South in 1861?
The invention of the cotton gin helped the manner by which cotton was made ready for market, however, the cotton plantations were still operated by intensive slave labor. The actual steps of how a cotton plantation were as follows:* Cotton gins could be powered by horses or water. Intensive slave labor was not required in this process;* Slaves prepared for the next cotton crop by first clearing, by hand or clubs, the left over cotton stalks;*Maure was then required for the new crop, this was done by hand and consisted of placing this fertilizer as deep as possible into the furrows of the previous crop;* The seeding for the new crop was done by hand, usually in the Spring;* By late Summer the cotton was harvested by hand, and ginned almost immediately; and* The entire process began again, one cycle after another.Production levels were unsustainable without vast numbers of workers. Paid workers would make the cotton system too expensive, thus slave labor was required.Many in the South had regarded slavery as a necessary evil, however, the economic boom it created made slavery a essential part of the Southern economy.
