This image is a photograph used in the book Auburn, a Pictorial History of the Loveliest Village by Mickey Logue and Jack Simms, 3rd edition, 2013, depicting the history of the city and the university. From page 264: "Before 1959 all Lee County [Auburn area] cotton was picked by hand; ten to twelve persons would pick a bale a day," Lee County and Her Forebears reported. "By 1976, virtually all cotton was harvested mechanically." This one-row machine being operated by Bill Nunn of Auburn picked as much as sixty-to-one-hundred workers could.
