A COTTON PICKING MACHINE
THAT PICKS COTTON
George A. Lowry's Invention That Nav Double
the Cotton Crop

Albany, Ga. Oct. 31.-A cotton pick
ing machine-one that picks cotton!
That is the 'long-felt want" that
will he offered to the cotton planters
of the South at the beginning of the
next cotton picking season.
1t is not a theory nor a prospect,
but an accomplished fact, and the
practicability of the machine has been
demonstrated in cotton fields near AL
bany during the. past ten weeks to the
entire satisfaction of those who have
seen it at work
About Aug. Mr.. George A. Lowry,
of Boston-the same man who invented
the wonderful machine that makes
what is known as the Lowry round
The Savannah morning news., 1904-11-01

cotton they were all, on the principle
OF seeing is believing" ready to say
that 1T was a success-that a practical
cotton picker had at last been in
Vented-something that they had
never expected to see.
The purpose of this article is not to
advertise or promote" Mr.. Lowry's
invention, but the fact that a machine
has been invented that will really pick
cotton and facilitate the harvesting
OF that staple crop is a matter of such
interest and Importance to the cotton
planters of the South that it at once
becomes subject for the newspapers
to handle as news.
The Machine.
The Lowry cotton picker is not in
tended to pick cotton automatically,
but to increase the speed and tighten
the labor of the negro. And in this it
differs from all other attempted in
ventio1s. for picking cotton. With the
Lowry machine the cotton picker has
no STOPPING to do nor bag to carry,
but he sits on a comfortable seat be-
tweens the rows and with each hand
touches the open bolls with a point of
a picking arm, which is as nicely bal
anced and as easily manipulated as a
billiard cue. Through the arms runs a
rapidly moving belt with hoped teeth
exposed at the point to engage with
the cotton and open at the top so a
revolving brush may flick it off into
a receptacle. The machine carries four
operators and a driver and gets it's
power from a four-horse power gaso-
line engine.
Its Capacity.
AS the removal of the cotton from
the boil is instantaneous, one can
readily see that one boil per second
with each hand is not very rapid
movement. This means 4S0 bolls per
minute, or 2S,S00 per hour from the
four operators. Early in the season,
when the bolls weighed so to so per
pound, ten hours picking would have
yielded from $500 pounds to 1890
pounds per day. At present it is fully
one-third less, or from $500 to 5000
pounds per day. The machine with
four boys and driver does the work
of twenty average pickers.
The picker ticks up cotton that has
fallen on the ground quite as readily
as it takes it from the bolls on the
stalks.
Many millions have been spent in
futile efforts to pick the cotton crop
by machinery, the earliest and most
frequent methods being to attach a
hand-operated mechanism to the oper-
ator, who turned the crank with one
hand and guided the picking arm to
the boil with the other. Most of these
devices picked cotton, but not one
fourth as much as could be picked by
hand, besides being more laborious
There have been many costly auto
matte machines, but they lacked the
power to discriminate between ripe
and unripe bolts and ruined the plants
Suction and static electricity have
also been tried, but the bolls fall every
way but the desired one, and though

bale"-came to Albany with machine
different from anything that had ever
been seen in these parts before No
body suspected what it was or what
it was intended for, and perhaps the
last thing in the world that the aver
age cotton planter would have taken
1t for was the very thing it was-a
cotton picker.
Mr.. Lowry asked, nobody to look at
his machine. but at once sought the
owner OF a nearby cotton field and
negotiated for the privilege of taking
his machine into it for an experiment
To those whose curiosity prompted
them to -ssl1~qaestiens he-said that he
didn't know whether his invention
would do the work for which 1t was
designed or not. but that he had come
TO the cotton fields with it to put 1t to
the test and perfect it, if possible. He
has stuck to his work faithfully, and
not until about three weeks ago did he
announce to even those whom he had

Crop Limited to Picking.
The cotton crop of the United States
is limited to its picking capacity, and
twice the present crop could be culti-
waited If there were any certainty Of
harvesting 1t.
So many other avenues for labor.
with steady employment, have arisen
that the unemployed hands required
for the short cotton season are almost
impossible to secure at any price.
Georgia has harvested most of her
crop for about so cents per 100 pounds
but many OF the other states are pay
ing from so cents TO s1.00 per 100
pounds.
The picking Of this years cotton
crop will cost the planters of the
South over 500 200, 900!
Mr.. Lowry will probably have no
difficulty In developing his machine
and placing IL on the market. to at
least limited extent, by next season.

ton is not the purpose of this ar
