farm to located five milec frmn

bnrg, N. C., ia March of this year. I
Mr. Coleman was there to see the
machine In qperaUoD ead promptly
bought it.knd had it delivered to
hto farm. Mi. Coleman Invites all
interested peicons to see the new!
cotton’picker and see It run at hto]
farm. A large nnmber of farmers
and farm implement company rep-
resentatlvea have been to the Cole
man farm to see the machine and]
all of them l^ve been very fhvor-j
able impressed, Mr. Colenian rw-j
ports.
Through various experiments and!
demonstrations the machine proved
that it will gather 99.96 per centi
of all cotton on the stalk, one row]
time. The Shelley picker will
lUok from 10 to 15 acres cd cotton
per day and can be operat^ 241
hours per day If desired.
,^-The- picker is easily towed by a]
tor.' Ths picker’s wheels, moani-|
on standard size 600x16 tlree.j
can be moved in or out for any]
myith eonon row from 10 to 48]
Inches.
The picker is built so that each!
of its wheels will run between two
rows the machine’s Intake (or!
mouth) straddles the middle row.]
Hie cotton is gathered by fingers]
attached to bars which are fasten
ed on a roller chain. This chainl
revolves on sprockets on a shaft,]
the bars being timed to come up In
unionism from each side of the]
cotton sulk. When the
reach tbe top of the shaft, janother ]
set of mechanical fingers revolve
In such a way as to remove the
cotton and kick it Into bags on each j
side ot tbe plattorm.
The Shelley picker weighs 2.7551
pounds, to eight feet high. The pick

around it to a body which to 10]

three feet from the ground so aa to j
easily pass over other rows of cot

The entire head of ‘ the machine
may be raised or lowered 10 inchea
so as to ensure sate turning at the
ends cd, rows without causing the
