| 説明 | Before the 1920s no one along this part of the Rio Grande has ever planted cotton. In 1922 businessman Wayne Cartledge began to sow that high-dollar commercial crop in these river-bottom fields. Cartledge also introduced steam- and gasoline-powered irrigation pumps that boosted his harvests. After 1923, he increased the value of his cottn by "ginning" it before he sold it - that is, by mechanically separating the tiny seeds from the fibers.By 1942 mounting costs and falling prices ended La Harmonia's cotton venture. Only the machines you see here today are left to remind us of this foray into large-scale farming.Castolon @ Big Bend National Park, Texas |
