Cotton-Picking Machine Perfected which
Will DO the Work Of 100 Negroes.
AURORA. Oct. 24-T. II. Ball has just re-
turned from Mississippi, where he went a
few days ago to test a new cotton-picker,
an invention "a which he is interested. A
company was formed in Chicago some
months ago to experiment with and manu-
facture this picker. The capital stock was
placed at $1.0OO.0O0. The report of Mr..
Ball concerning the test of the machine in
the cottOn-fields is such as to make visions
of wealth float before the mental gaze of
the now enthusiastic stockholders. The
machine. while some defects easily rem
edied were revealed. demonstrated the
possibility of what has heretofore been
considered impossible. namely, picking cot
ton successfully by machinery. The ma
chine was driven up and down the rows
rapidly. and took up the cotton so clean
that not a double handful was left, doing
the work of 100 negroes. Astronger ma
chime is now being made, which will be
finished in about two weeks. and again
taken to Mississippi for another test upon
the present crop of cotton.
