THE CLARKE
Seed COTTON CLEANER
EsEA! FARM PROBLEM SOLVED.
Why Farmers should Clean
their Cotton for Market.
A Matter of Millions OF
Dollars of Saving to
the south.
EVERY FARMER INTERESTED

No invention within the last quar-
ter of a century has been more bene
fetal to the farmers of the South than
that of the Clarke Cotton Cleaner.
For years the problem of agriculture
witch defied the inventive ingenuity of
| the nation was a remedy for dirt and
trash in cotton This at last las been
overcome, and by using the Clarke
Cotton Cleaner millions of dollars
can annually be saved. Mr.. Edward
Atkinson, the standard cotton author
ity in the United States, estimates the |
loss from all kinds of uncleanliness in
the heecy staple to amount to cent
pound on half the crop. In round
numbers this is s13,50O,0OO. This
) fact is a tremendous one and we'll
worth careful consideration. The
! great saving by the use of the clean
5 er can be demonstrated by actual test,
: and shows that it is overwhelmingly
o to the farmers interest to use the
5 Cleaner, the invention of which has
been public and scientific benefac-
- ton whose good no mind can measure,
: and whose value will grow with the
IS progress of time. The following shows
: how much may be gained per bale:
Mr.. j. V. d. Stevens, of Enon
80 Grove, Heard county, Ga, ginned
Is 1900 pounds of cotton cleaned in tlle
Clark Cleaner and then ginned 1,5O(
pounds of the same cotton unclaimed
% The cleaned bale lost three pounds IL
% weight and sold for Ii cents pount
: more than the uncleaned bale. Tn
n amount saved on the bale was $11
~ This may be doue in every instance.
W To sum up, the Clarke Cleaner is
IS benefit to..the producer, the ginner, tn
merchant and the manufacturer.
~ improves the highest grade of lint
SO is essential to redeem the vast proper
ton cf storm cotton from its injur
s25 and prevent large loss upon it. 1t in
ate sures millions to the farmer and il
20. creased profits to every agency ths
'ate handles the feecy monarch of CON
- merce. It is the remedy of an ev
that has for more than a century d.
$40 stroyed, as we find, five and ha
s,o per cent of the cotton crop of tt
Inn world, aggregating millions upon mi
$50 | lions of irreparable loss. 1t solves or

80 ture that has been so long defying II
4 10 inventive ingenuity of the age, and
a sectional and national benefaction
' IN The following testimonial from t
w we'll known cotton merchants, 5.
Inman & Co., shows how the Clarl
Cleaner is regarded by men who ha
eP' die thousands Of bales every year:
ATLANTA, Ca, September 80, 1885-In vi
iins of the frequent heavy rains recently, and I
pa probability that low grade cotton will be We
il much lower, as compared to middhng, than
~ a year or two past, we feel that you are don
Anu GOOD work in introducing the Clarke Seed Cot
COOS Cleaner We are also having great trouble W
inns happy and imperfectly ginned cotton.
- Cleaner will do much towards. remedying Il
eeo as the cotton will be dryer before going to
the gin. AS an instance of what might have b
done with proper handling, will say that
, have today sold lot of some fifty bales di
VIM dusty cotton from previous crop at six &c
icco per pound. From what 1--WE have seen of
no work of your cotton cleaner, salts
that if this cotton had been run through
~ cleaner before ginL ing it would have sold
Tx day in this market for 81 cents per pou
heir with the quotation for middling at cents :,
