The beds, or ridges, are six feet wide, that is, from water furrow to water furrow.

床或脊宽六英尺，即从水沟到水沟。

Now the whole space between the rows is ploughed, leaving a deep water furrow in the center.

现在行之间的整个空间都被犁过，在中央留下一条深水犁沟。

The cotton grows from five to seven feet high, each stalk having a great many branches, shooting out in all directions, and lapping each other above the water furrow.

棉花有五七尺高，每株有许多枝条， 向四面八方伸出， 在水沟上方相互重叠。

Winrowing is the cutting the stalks at an early period and throwing them lengthwise in the water furrow in such a manner that the tops will cover the butts of the stalks.

风晒是在早期切割秸秆，然后将它们纵向抛入水沟中，使顶端覆盖秸秆的末端。
