PRICK'S COTTON PICKER, I). A. Tompkins, Who Has Hoon It, Favorably Impressed. (Charlotte Observer.) Among those who witnessed the d?monstration of the Price-Campbell cotton picker Friday was I). A. Tompkins. An Observer representa tive obtained from him the following statement of his impressions: "One of the most attractlvo fields of invention now known is tba' ot' cotton picking. ll costs the -ot ton growing Slates from $125,000,000 to $ 1 .">0,011 o.not) annually to puk tho cotton crop, lt is estimated that it" power can he economically applied to tills work there will he as groat a saving as when it was applied to sew ing through means ol' the sewing ma chine. ' Some twenty yours ago I investi gated thc Mason cotton picker at Sumter, S C. Thc machine picked cotton very well. lt lei: about H? poi' cent ol' the cotton in the field. Many ol' the pails were too frail and would not stand tlie rough work. I think it' enough money had been he hind it tho machine might have been developed to bo practically economic and useful. That was a mule-power machino and was wonderfully ingeni ous. C. T. Mason, the Inventor, had to give it up for lack ol' funds to con tinue tht? development. "ll' ever an invention ce' the point where it is commercially eco nomical to hay and operate, I hen its weak spots are apt to he eliminated. Because every new machine sold means that some good mechanic i.-. uoini; to make some improvements on it. As the machines multiply, these improvements of many men be come cumulative and the machine rai idly improves in efficiency and in '1 ii ra bili ty and in economy ot opera t lon. Many Attempt?. "Since the Mason picker there have boon many attempts to pul a picker on the market. Some of 'hem have Tailed for want ol' money, some hy in completeness of design, Mr. Price's machine leaves about 2 V? per cen! In the Held instead of in per cent, as Mason's did. The picking is practi cally as near as can he done by hand, bul :i little of the cotton drops from the lacker, making the 2 Ms per cent referred to nbove. "Mr. Price has the advantages and disadvantages of an automobile with gasoline power, against Mason's mule power. One of the advantages is Cheap power, and one of the disad vantages is carrying a heavy machine through a plowed Held. "Mr. Price says that he has nine machines sold in Texas working on a commercial hasis. As soon as any new machine gets to where it will stay sold, it is more than apt then io rapidly Improve in efficiency and economy. "lt looks as though the present machine is going to stay on the mar ee? ?roe;! . . . -..? -er the ? ctoutiI {iou. vs', b. >i. LiiuiJU >. k.i.ul.l' ed and put on the market his "Boss" press at $100. It was thought to be more than the people would pay fora press, hut it sold very extensively, and it was not long before there was a call for a steam press at $."?00. Sim ilarly the price of thc picker may not go down or the efficiency come up. The probabilities are that both things will happen, the machines will be sold somewhat cheaper, and it will from time to Hmo bc made more? elll clent. "Whenever the American people have found an open Held for inven tion, the effort has been duly com menced and the field has been con tinued to he worked until the Inven tion was perfected. The American inventor of to-day is weil aware of the rich returns thal come to the suc cessful cotton locker inventor. "Either this or some other ma chine for picking cotton will be per fected. lt looks like Mr. Price basa good thing ;ind has it in shape to make il .no from this time Oil. If his nine machines sold in Texas stay sold, all right; his ls the Invention." -? . Shot hy Mis Playmate. Sumter, Oct. ii I Lucian A. .lames. .lr., the four-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. L. A.
