THE CLARKE
SBED COTTON 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 of 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 defed the inventive ingenuity of
the nation was 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 he saved. Mr. 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 a cent a
pound on half the crop. In round
numbers this is $13,5000OO. This
fact is a tremendous one and we'll
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 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 the
Clark Cleaner and then ginned 1,5OC
pounds Of he same cotton uncleaned
The cleaned bale lost three pounds in
weight and sold for l I cents a pound
more than the uncleaned bale. The
| amount saved on the bale was $11
This may be done in every instance.
To sum up, the Clarke Cleaner is g
benefit to the producer, the ginner, the
merchant and the manufacturer. II
improves the highest grade of lint. Il
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 fieecy monarch of COM
merce. 1t is the remedy of an evil
that has for more than a century dc.
stroyed, as we find, five and a hall
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 C
The following testimonial from tn
we'll known cotton merchants, S. M
Inman & Co., shows how the Clarke
Cleaner is regarded by men who han
die thousands of bales every year:
ATLANTA, Ga, September 80, 1S85-In view
of the frequent heavy rains rec entity, and the
| probability that low grade cotton will be very
much lower, as compared to middling, than fol
| a year or two past, we feel that you are doing &
| good work in introducing the Clarke Seed Cotton
| Cleaner. We are also having great trouble witt
| happy and imperfectly ginned cotton. TIL,
| Cleaner will do much towards. remedyfng this
| as the cotton will be dryer before going to tn.
gin As an instance of what might have beet
done with proper handling, will say that w,
| have today sold lot of some fifty bales dirty
| dusty cotton from previous crop at six cent
| per pound. From what i've have seen of thu
work of your cotton. cleaner, satisfied
| that if this cotton had been run through tn
cleaner before gin1ing it would have sold to
| day in this market for 81 cents per pound
| with the quotation for mddling at cents.
