 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 inven- tions for picking cotton. With the Lowry machine the cotton picker has no stopping to do nor bag to carry, but he sits on comfortable seat be- tween the rows and with each hand

 By this time the machine that he brought out from his shop in Boston had been so altered, first by one change and then another, to meet obstacles that were encountered in the field. that he sent his assistant back to the shop to construct a new model--the original plan of picking the cotton being re- tained, but the general construction of the machine being so altered as to bear very little resemblance to the original. The new model came and was putssto work few days ago, and today it was given the first public trial in the pres-

Early in the season. when the bolls weighed sixty to eighty per pound, ten hours picking would have yielded from $500 pounds to 4,sOO pounds perxday. At present 1t is fully one.third Tess. or from 2,500 to 5000 pounds per day. The machine with four boys and a driver does the work Of twenty average piekers.

 Georgia has harvested most or her crop for about fifty cents per lVo pounds, but many of the other states are paving from eighty cents to s1.o0 per 10 pounds.

 Many millions hay. been spent in futile Efforts to pick the cotton crop by machinery. the earliest and most frequent methods being to attach q hand-operated mechanism to the oper-. ator, who turned the crank with one the boil with tahe other. Most of these devices picked cotton, hut not one- fourth as mich as could be picked by hand, besides being more laborious. There have been many costly auto matic machines, but they lacked the power to discriminate between ripe and unripe bolls and ruined the plants.

 About the first of August Mir. George "A. Lowry. of Boston--the same man who invented the wonderful machine that makes what is known as the Lowry round bale"--came to Albany with machine different from anything that had ever been seen in these parts before. Nobody suspected what 1t was or what it was intended for, and per- haps the last thing in the world that the average cotton planter would have taken 1t for was the very thing 1t was "a cotton picker.
