Gov. George C.'. Wallace
presented Mrs. Pride with a
trophy during the King
Cotton “parade of cham

industrialists, educators

joined Gov. Wallace in

other winners for their
contributions to the

Mrs. Pride, who lives alone
in a neat, white frame house
surrounded by a chain link
fence. In 1972, she produced
1.169 pounds of cotton per
acre and became champion
of the 16-county North
Alabama district. The
previous year, she was the
Limestone County cham
pion.
The spry and diminutive
centenarian say.s she has
been growing cotton “ever
since 1 been in the world.”
“Since I can remember,
mv folks woke me up in the
morning and told me to get
to the field,” she said in a
recent interview. “I guess
that's why I know how to
pick good.”
MKS. IMUDK contracts
for the land preparation and
planting but does the rest of
the work herself. Her secret
is the care and personal
attention she gives the
plants. The Birmingham
News in an article by Staff
Writer Thomas F. Hill, said:
"Once her cotton is up.
she spends as much time in
the patch as some women do
with African prized violets.
She meticulously chops and
picks the (jotton by hand,
.starting as soon as the first
boll begins to open. This
procedure greatly increases
her yield, much in the same
manner as a garden gets
more rosebuds per bush by
careful pruning.”
DKSFITK IIKK advanced
years, Mrs. Pride still
spends several hours a day
in her cotton patch,
swinging a hoe as vigorously
as a much younger person.
Ws must give our children a sense of pride in being blacl(. The glory of our past
and the dignity of our present must lead the way to the power of our future."
