Revolutionary Cotton Picker Retires Into History "Old Red," the nation's first commercially workable mechanical cotton picker, found its niche in American history this year (1970) when it was donated to the Smithsonian Institution. Old Red was the forerunner of a development that revolutionized the cotton industry as did the cotton gin 150 years before it. International Harvester Co. produced the machine in 1943. Before being retired in 1959 it brought in 8,000 bales of cotton in 16 seasons. More sophisticated picking machines have since replaced it. Said to be the only complete harvester of its kind, Old Red will spend the rest of its days as a museum exhibit. Cotton Oil Co. of Fresno, Cal., presented the machine to the Smithsonian. f?; Virgil Livingston rHE BEARDED ONES t No. 1 employees are com] n of South Carolina's trice rid Jack Bolt have attracted irds portray the role of our MAY, 1970 4 Management Workshop At PC The Twelfth Annual Management Work shop will be held on the Presbyterian College campus June 4-5.
