COttOn-Picking Machinery,

present month it is hoped that there will
be abundant opportunity for the final test
Of the new harvester. Since the last crop
was gathered no time has been lost. and no
endeayor has been spared by the company
which OWLS the patents to prepare for this
crop a machine which would satisfactorily
do the work of picking the cotton from the
plant, and take the place of the expensive
and tedious process of hand labor. Several
machines of slightly varying styles have
now been completed and are ready to
straddle the cotton rows. At the close of
the last season Mr. Mason had succeeded
in perfecting machine which would pick
out the open cotton without injury 10 the
growing plants or to the unmaturcd cotton

was tested in the presence Of large numbers
Ofplanters, demonstrated that the principle
