This invention relates to new and useful improvements in sacks and more especially sacks used in picking cotton.

The principal object of my invention is to 5 provide a construction whichvwill not only make the sack slide more easily along the ground, but will render the sack more durable and thereby greatly prolong the life and usefulness thereof.

With the foregoing and other objects in View that will appear as the nature of my invention is better understood, the same consists in the novel features of construction, combination and arrangement of parts illus- 5 trated in the accompanying drawings and more particularly pointed out in the appended claim. a

In the accompanying drawings, which are for illustrative purposes only and are there- 0 fore not drawn to scale:

Figure 1 is a side elevationvof a cotton picking sack, constructed in accordance with my invention. I

with more than one picking open in the field; open cotton always dries quicker than the ground, but to pick before the ground dries would result in damaged picking is my lmpro I grades.
