THE CLARKE
SEEDCOTTON CLEANER
GREAT FARM rs1stEg 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
wlch defied the inventive ingenuity of
the nation was remedy for dirt and
trash in cotton. This at last r as 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 fieecy staple to amount to a cent
pound on half the crop. In round
numbers this is S13,50O,OOO. This
fact Is 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 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
I,500 pounds of cotton cleaned in the
Clark Cleaner and then ginned 1 800
pounds of The same cotton uncleaned.
The cleaned bale lost three pounds in
weight and sold for Ii cents a pound
more than the uncleaned 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. It
improves the highest grade of lint. 1t
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
Inman & Co., shows how the Clarke
Cleaner is regarded bysmen who han
die thousands of bales every year.
ATLANTA, Ca, September 80, 1ss5-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
good work in introducing the Clarke Seed Cotton
Cleaner. We are also having great trouble with
nappy and imperfectly ginned cotton. The
Cleaner will do much towards emedyng this,
as the cotton will be dryer before going to the
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 wv, have seen of the
work of your oottoni cleaner, we are satisfied
that if this cotton had been run through the
cleaner before ginning it would have sold to
day in this market for 81 cents per pound
with the quotation for middling at cents.
