THE CLARKE
SEBDCOTTON CLEANER
GREAT 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 ola 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
wich defied the Inventive ingenuity of
the nation was remedy for dirt and
trash in cotton. This at last as been
overcome, and by using the Clarke
Cotton Cleaner millions of dollars
can annually lie saved MIR. Edward
Atkinson, the standard cotton author
ity in the United States, estimates the
loss from all kinds of uncleanliness in
the feecy staple to amount to cent
pound on half the crop. In round
numbers this is $13, 100000. This
fact is a tremendous one and well
worth careful consideration. The
great saving by the use of the clean
er can be demonstrated by actual test,
and shows that it is overwhelmingly
to the farmers interest to use the
Cleaner, the invention of which has
been a public and scientific benefac-.
ton whose good no mind can measure,
and whose value will grow with the
progress of time. The following shows
how much may be gained per bale:
Mr.. j. V. d. Stevens, of Enon
Grove, Heard county, Ga, ginned
1000 pounds of cotton cleaned in tie
Clark Cleaner and then ginned 1000
pounds OF The same cotton uncleaned
The cleaned bale lost three pounds in
weight and sold for 4 cents pound
more than the unclaimed bale. The
amount saved on the bale was 81.
This may be done in every instance.
To sum up, the Clarke Cleaner is a
benefit to the producer, the ginner, the
merchant and the manufacturer. 1t
improves the highest grade of lint It
is essential to redeem the vast proper
ton ct storm cotton from its injury
and prevent large loss upon it. 1t in
sures millions to the farmer and in
creased profits to every agency that
handles the feecy monarch of com
merce. 1t is the remedy of an evil
that has for more than a century de-
strOyed, as we find, FIVE and half
per cent of the cotton crop of the
world. aggregating millions upon mil
lions Of irreparable loss. 1t solves one
OF the hard problems of our agricul-
ture that has been so long defying the
inventive ingenuity of The age, and is
sectional and national benefaction. e
The following testimonial from tn.
we'll known cotton merchants, S. M
lnman q Co., shows how the Clarke
Cleaner is regarded by men who han
die thousands Of bales every year:
ATLANTA, Ga, September 80, lSS5-In view
OF the frequent heavy rains recently, and the
probability that low grade cotton will be very
much lower, as compared to middling, than for
year or two past, we feel that you are doing a
good work in introducing the Clarke Sect Cotton
Cleaner. We are also having great trouble with
happy and imperfectly ginned cotton. The
Cleaner will do much towards. renedying this,
gin AS an instance of what might have beeu
done with proper handling, will say that we
have today sold a lot of some fifty bales dirty,
dusty cotton from previous crop at six cents
per pound. From what 1--WE have seen of the
work of your oottoni cleaner, we are satisfied
that if this cotton had been run through the
clean before GIN ing it would have sold to-
day in this market for s! cents per pound
with the quotation for middling at cents.
