THE ECLIPSE ENTERS RICE FIELD
The Frick company OF Waynesboro Are
Coming to Stay.

|
A few months ago Mr.. o. j. Morris,
MANAGER of the Dallas, Texas, ONCE
of the Frick Co., succeeded In lhUer-
esting his company in coming lh'o
the rice district of Louisiana ana
Texas with their celebrated ECLIPSE
Separator and Traction Engines
In October last they shipped to
Welsh a complete outfit such as they
have been operating so successfully
in the wheat fields for nearly fifty |
wears. The outfit consists of 32x5o
Separator and S4x10 engine, which
was put into actual operation under
personal supervision of Mr.. f. +.
Lands, who is the patentee and owner
of fifty or more of the most valuable
appliances to threshing and separat-
ing machines, many of which are IN
!corporated in machines put up by
possibly every concern in the country.
ONLY a short run was necessary for
Mr.. Lands to determine the changes
necessary to make the ECLIPSE"
very successful rice threshing machine.
He went back to Waynesboro and
gave out the specifications for such
changes, which were shipped down
and put in by their expert from the
factory, Mr.. f. P. Mickey.
THE JOHN ROBINSON RANDIS ECLIPSE.
The company arranged with Mr.
John Robinson, eight miles north OF
Welsh, to hold over about SIX nun
dred sacks of his rice for experiment
tai purposes. The work OF threshlpg
these six hundred sacks was finished
lost Monday, and how we'll the
ssF,clipse'' did it's work, the Frick Co.
b are safe to let Mr.. Robinson say, as
he is a. pioneer, and one of the most
successful planters in Louisiana.
The capacity OF their machine may
be called only ordinary, having
: threshed by hand feed los sacks in
two hours and twenty-five minutes.
| but the ability of the ECLIPSE" te
take all the rice from the straw, thor
oughly clean it, and put it in the
bag, without breaking the grain, viii
appeal in strong terms to the farmel
Y and largely justify the statement tina
the Eclipse" machine will thrasl
6 ANYTHING from lima beans to orchard
grass and never break kernel.
