Carding Cotton in Erath Louisiana October 1938

In October 1938, Madame Dronet cards cotton in Erath, Louisiana. The carding process separates fibers and prepares them for spinning into thread, a vital step in cotton production. This practice was common in southern states, where cotton farming played a significant role in the economy. The image is part of the FSA/OWI Collection, which documents agricultural life in the region.
