Cotton is a soft, fluffy staple fiber that grows in a boll around the seeds of the cotton plant (plants of the genus Gossypium). The plant is a shrub native to tropical and subtropical regions around the world, including the Americas,Africa , India and Pakistan. The fiber most often is spun into yarn or thread and used to make a soft, breathable textile, which is the most widely used natural-fiber cloth in clothing today. The English name derives from the Arabic (al) qutn قُطْن , which began to be used circa 1400. The botanical purpose of cotton fiber is to aid in seed-dispersal.

What is the best medicine to treat cotton mouth?
Q. After some research and helpful people here on Yahoo! Answers, I have come to a conclusion that my betta fish is in the early stages of cotton mouth disease. I have been looking at several anti-bacterial medications that PetSmart sells (It is the only pet market nearby), and I do not know which one would work best to cure cotton mouth. I have been leaning towards Maracyn-2, but I'm not sure. What medication available at PetSmart does the best job at curing external cotton mouth?

A. The best treatment is to get some Melafix,Pimafix, or bettamax (only one do not mix medicines.). Remove your activated carbon from your filter, and then add the medicine on your next water change (less medicine is always better than too much, follow dosage as directed.) Raising the temperature a few degrees also helps speed up the recovery process, aquarium salt does this as well. Now the best prevention to getting any disease is to do routine water changes and testing your water parameters monthly or when things do not look right. From now on make sure you do 25% water changes every week and do not overfeed your betta (remove uneaten food after 10 minutes.)

How did cotton cultivation work during slavery?
Q. I don't really know anything about farming or crops at all. From what I was reading online, you plow the soil, then plant it, then pick it, then separate the cotton from the seeds. Is that right? This is just out of interest, not trying to get someone to do homework for me.
