PRICE COTTON PICKER
HAS PROVED A SUCCESS
Theo. H. Price, of New York,
has been demonstrating his cotton-picking
machine in Robeson
county, N. C., and that the machine
has proven a success is no
longer doubted. During the
demonstrations Mr. Price selected
25 rows of cottop, which
represented one acre, and ran
the picker over six rows twice.
The second picking yielded only
ten pounds of seed cotton to the
six rows.
nf fnnrcp Sf.mp cotton was
Vi VVU? WVJ
left on the ground, but the
quantity was very inappreciable.
A negro man and his children
were put to work picking the
loose cotton from t he ground and
only four pounds were thus
gathered. A portion of this had
fallen from stalks on the adjoining
rows on either side.
The field in which the demo- station
was given was good
average cotton and will make a
bale to the acre, hence thesli; h
per cent, of the cotton wasted is I
seen to be inconsiderable. These I
careful t ?sts were made to meet I
the criticism that the machine j
wasted a great deal of cotton g
and left some on the stalk.
As yet the machines are, in I
price, out of reach of the small J
farmer though the farmer on a I
large scale can easily make it |
pay for itself in a short time, as ?
it costs only twelve cents a I
hundred to pick with it whereas g
you now pay fifty cents to $1 u ?
hundred, and a great many times I
are unable to get it picked at all, j|
no Irttino- it pnfirplv rf
U'UO iwunig ?v v??.. .
The machine is a mammoth j|
one weighing more than two 9
tons, and has a horse pewer from I
thirty-five to thirty-eight. With j I
all its size and weight it is I
thoroughly adapted to working ||
in almost any kind of soil but,
of course, works better in the
more level sections than where
it is extremely hilly. The price
of $5,000 is considered reasonable
when its accomplishments are
considered, although perhaps
when they come into more general
use they can and will be i
materially reduced.

severe case of stomach trouble and of
rheumatism, from which I had been an
almost helpless sufferer for ten years.
It suited my case as though made ju*t
