Today, as we drove to Macon for Sarah's doctor appointment, we noticed the cotton fields around Eastman. The cotton bolls were bursting with the white fibers, ready to be picked. Before combines took to the field, it was the most labor intensive crop to harvest. The boll has four sections, that when it opens, creates sharp burs, which will prick the hands of those after the white fibers.

Say not ye, There are yet four months, and then cometh harvest? behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest. John 4:35
