Cotton wasn't so bad but tobacco yuck.

by John the swaby

You would go out in the fields early a.m. and get soaking wet from the dew on the leaves and then the sun dried it off and the tobacco gum on the leaves got all over you. Think green black hands and arms etc.And then you came in about 8 am and ate breakfast.Seemed more like lunch.

O well i gave up that good life and joined the navy when i turned 17.( and in book camp marched on the grinder all day in the hot sun).
