To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The boll has from three to six apartments or cells which contain seeds wrapped in the soft white downy substance that we call the cotton fiber or lint. When the seed is ripe the bolls burst open and the cotton stalks are covered with white flufi'y balls. A ripe cotton-field is a beautiful sight ; and if the crop is a large one, the planter, as the cotton farmer is called, is very happy. For there is much hard work for the planter 50 THE COASTAL PLAINS and his help and a good deal of anxiety. If... there happens to be a late frost, the plants are killed or injured. If there happens to be a long season without rain, or too much rain, the plants do not produce good cotton. And then there are many plant diseases and insect pests that may injure the plant. Picking the cotton is the most interesting part of the work; and it is all done by hand. It is not hard work, and the women and the children help the men. The pickers walk between the rows and pick the mass of fibers — or lint, as the planters call it — from the bolls, and put it into sacks or bags which they carry.
