Pick Cotton, Bolls And All lty the simple process of picking cotton in the boll, incubating- the crop thus gathered, and then extracting the fiber by machine, the inventor of a new system promises a practical metamorphosis of the whole cotton industry. says the January Popular Mechanics Magazine in an illustrated article. A $150,900 plant already has proved the practicability of the idea. The success of the method rests on th?* discovery that cotton matures as l. v.,,11 muen as mree weens wiuic n.c >>.. opens, and actually deteriorates from the time the boll firstf cracks. One machine unit produces one bale an hour, requiring 20 hp. to run, 20 lb. of steam, and two attendants. Cotton so picked is declared to be cleaner, brighter, stronger, and longer-fibered than the staple as handled at present. o Prize Cow is Honored Guest A comely black-and-white cow was an invited and well-behaved guest at a business men's luncheon in the "crystal room" of a Portland. Ore., hotel recently. The purpose of the occasion was to honor the bovine, known as "Tilly Alcartra", for extraordinary industry and productiveness. She is seven years old, and in six years has produced 156,776.1 lb. of milk, yielding 6,146.36 lb. of butter. Full stock of Buggies, Wagons, Harness, Robes, etc. WILLIAMSBURG LIVESTOCK CO. VftTICF.
