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 quarter of a
century has been more beneficial to the farm
ers of the south than that Of the Clarke Cotton
Cleaner. For years the problem of agriculture
which defied the inventive ingenuity of the
nation was a remedy for dirt and trash in
cotton. This at last has been overcome, and
by using the Clarke Cotton Cleaner millions of
dollars can annually be saved. Mr.. Edward
Atkinson, the standard cotton authority In the
United States, estimates the loss from all
kinds of uncleanlinesS in the fleecy staple to
amount toa cent pound on half the crop.
In round numbers this is $13, 500000 This
fact is q tremendous enc and well worth care
full consideration The great saving by the
use Of this cleaner can be demonstrated by
actual test, and shows that it is overwhelm-
ingly to the farmers interest to use the
Cleaner, the invention of which has been a
public and scientific benefaetion whose good
no mind can measure, and whose value will
grow with the progress of time. The follow
ing shows how much may be gained per bale
Mr.. j. V. ID. Stevens, of Enon Grove, Heard
county, Ga, ginned 800 pounds of cotton
cleaned in the Clarke Cleaner and then ginned
/ ,J00pounds Of the same cotton uncleaned. The
cleaned bale lost three pounds in weight and
sold for Il cents pound more than the
uucleaned bale. The amount saved on one
bale was S11. This may be done in every
instance.
To sum up, the Clarke Cleaner is an unde-
niable benefit to the producer, the giHner, the
merchant and the manufacturer. 1t improves
the highest grade of lint 1t is essential to
redeem the vast proportion OF storm cotton
from its injury and prevent large loss upon it,
1t insures millions 10 the farmer and increased
profits to every agency that handles the fieeey
monarch of commerce. 1t is the remedy of an
evil that has for more than century destroyed,
as we find five and q half per cent of the
cotton crop OF the world, aggregating millions
upon millions of irreparable loss. 1t solves
ono Of the hard problems of our agriculture
that has been so long deiying the best inventive
ingenuity of the age, and Is a sectional and
national beneiaotion.

known cotton merchants, s. NJ, Inman 4 Co.,
