Narrative:

A student and I were practicing takeoffs and lndgs. I decided to pull his power back and simulate an emergency. When I gave my student his power back, nothing happened. The engine stayed at idle power. I took control of the airplane and tried to restart. I had to land the airplane in a cotton field. Even though carburetor heat was used, the problem could have been carburetor ice, with a 90 percent humidity outside.
