CLODS OF COTTON

cottons
This man isn't on a king sized cauliflower. We're looking down on a huge number of bales of cotton.
A cotton plant,like all plants , produces seeds. Each sees is surrounded by a long,silky fibers.
In the wind, these fibres would help the seed soar into the air and find a new place to grow.But when cotton is planted and harvested by people ,workers pick the seeds . Then they collect the thread -entwined seeds in bales ,each composed of many,many soft balls of cotton.
The bundles look like they are wrapped inside a giant green leaves. But the 'leaves' are really squares of plastic tied at the four corners . Soon the bales will be transported to cotton gins , where the cotton fibers will be seperated from the seeds and twisted together to make long and strong threads .And those threads will be used to make our clothes. It all starts here.
