Early in October the new machinery was
pronounced ready for the field. and was taken
to Atlanta. where field OF cotton was growing
in the Piedmont Exposition grounds. It had
been especially provided for the purpose Of
being harvested by machinery. Before 1t was
taken to the Exposition the machine had four
preliminary trials In o field Of cotton a few
miles out Of Atlanta for the purpose Of prop

The fourth trial was q very great success. the

the next day was also q success. Mr.. Blum
showed copies Of Southern newspapers con-
