THE DIXIE COTTON PICKER
This Machine S Drawn by Horses
or Mules and Seems a
practCa. Machine

OF late there has been much
thought given the labor situation
m this section Of country. The
cotton crop OF the past season
has brought this about o. a great
extent. and the proposition of
getting the crops gathered have
brought forward the cotton pick
ing machines OF different makes.
which are receiving great deal
OF attention among the farmers.
Some months ago the Avalanche
contained a lengthy account Of
the Price Campbell picker which
Is quite big thing. II picks
the cotton. bot the objection that
rs almost invariably offered by
the farmer that u costs too much
and cannot bee operated by hors-
IS or mules, thereby adding more
extra expense of maintaining
gasoline power 10 operate Il.
The Dixie Picker is the one
that . attracting the attention If
the people in tins section at tins
time. There is one in operation
near PlainyieW AT this time and
seems 10 be doing very satisfac-
tory work and promises to be-
come a factor of considerable
magnitude m the matter of
gathering the cotton crop the
coming year From the descrip-
tivs penn billet OF this machine
The Lubbock avalanche. (Lubbock, Tex.) 1909-1922, 1911-12-21

we are able 10 furnish our read
ers with the following informa-
non concerning the machine.
DESCRIPTION OF THE MACHINE
The machine weighs l47C
pounds, is mounted upon two
broad tired wheels and drawn by
two horses. II has but one lever
and that the driver uses for rais
ing or lowering the machine.
On the inside Of the frame Is a
cylinder. IN which are mounted
twenty columns. each column
carrying seven spind.es. or tug-
ers. Jas they are sometimes called.
These spindleS are about II inch
IS long and have each two rows
Of file teeth on opposite sides
As the cylinder reyoiyes, II
brings into action the columns.
whlct IN turn reyolve the spind
les as they enter the cotton
plant, when the contact, com
bined with the rapid revolving
motion. twists the cotton out OF
the hulls.
Under the machine is set OF
CRATE bars, 10 prevent the stalks
from working up into the mach
inery The spindles begin re-
yolylng as they enter the front
end Of the crate and continue
until they withdraw at the rear,
when they cease revolving and
pass through a revolving strip
per. This stripper is so construct.
ed that each spindle enters a
space and cotton ~ thereby re-
moved from the spindle. The
cotton is then from the stripper
by a aluminium beater somewhat

similar In design and action,
which enters the spaces in the
striuper and rakes out the cotton
throwing II into a basket carried
ON a platform az the rear Of the
machine.
CAPACITY o. THE MACHINE
The amount OF cotton which
the machine will pick depends.
of course, upon the character of
the crop, both a. 10 quality and
quantity. In ordinary picking.
il gathers on an average a bale
per day OF 10 hours.
To secure The best results, we
would advise not beginning pick
ing until the bushes are well
white with cotton. or, in other
words. the plant has fully
matured.
VARIETY or COTTON
We particularly recommend
the growing of storm-proof
cotton, as the machine does more
satisfactory work in that variety;
besides III, for any reason, the
planter is delayed with his pick
ing. ne is not losing a heavy per
centage of it through being beat
en- out by the weather. as Is the
case with the loose variety.
OPERATION
The machine is driven directly
over the row and the plant is
gathered in between the guides.
and as the machine passes over
the plant, it is compressed down
wards TO reduce il into compact
shape. so as 10 secure 10 the
splndles complete contact with
all the cotton on the plant

THOUGHTS or CHRISTMAS

Christmas.

A right round merry Christ
mas.
Joy be with YOU. peace and
good will.
A happy home, health and
happiness be thine.
Where in all humanity is there
greater longing, dearer expecta-
ton, sweeter hope than in the
heart of a child on Christmas
morn. But in all the earth there
is no look so sad, no sob SO
stabbing as are called forth by
the empty stocking.
Merry Christmas has brighten
ed more hearts. has healed more
grievances, has brought more
happiness 10 the lives of men
and women. has proved 10 be the
talismanic sentiment for more
home reunions than any other
that has ever been heard in this
old world.

with pleasant thoughts and fond
rememberances. Christmas 90

by hand and which, with hand
picking. would be lost.
ABOUT CARE OF THE MACHINE
The Dixie Cotton Picker is
different from the general run of
agricultural machinery, in that
the working parts are finer and
more de.icately adjusted than
those of the ordinary field ma
chine and must not be left
standing in the open, subject to
weather but properly housed
and the spindles and smaller
parts cleaned and all grit and
dirt carefully removed after each
days operation and spindles and
all moving parts thoroughly
oiled. A machine without care
will no more render satisfactory
service than a man can work
without food. Remember and
follow carefully the instructions
given. The Dixie Cotton Picker
will amply repay the time and
attention given it.
GENERAL REMARKS
Ever since the war and ever
before, time. genius and money
have been expended in efforts TO
develop a successful mechanical
cotton picker, but it has been a
continuous tale of defeat, disap-
pointment and loss Of fortunes.
until the advent of the Dixie. F."
Our success, however. has not
been accomplished without like
Of time. brains and
large OUTLAWS Of money. This
machine has been in course Of
construction, experiment and
development for many years.
but has not been generally
offered TO the public until it was
determined that success had
crowned our efforts. We con-
idently believe that the Dixie
Cotton Picker will prove to be,
tor the South, the same pros
perlty developer that the Har-
vester has been for the North.

When the basket has been filled.
the driver is notified by an auto
matte mechanism ringing a bell,
when 10 must either be emptied
or replaced by another.
COMPARISON WITH HAND PICKING
While the machine leaves some
scattered cotton on the ground.
ii does not amount 10 much in
weight. and, on the other hand,
it gets a good deal that the hand
picker does not. owning 10 its
gathering from bolls not opened
sufficiently for a mans fingers
to get out the cotton. In tests
made for comparison, the ma
chine has gathered practically
the same weight Of cotton as
hand pickers picking at the same
time in parallel rows and in
some cases, even more lint cot
ton than the hand plckers.
The following figures showing
comparison of cost Of picking
by hand and picking by machine,
on a crop Of 80 bales, while esti-
mates only. and. Of course, sub
ject 20 variation according TO
locality and conditions, will be Of
interest.

the child is the brightest star IN
the years armament 1t is the
beacon light on which their
little eyes and thoughts are ever
fastened.
Christmas and Santa Claus go
hand in hand. They are links in
one chain. Without Santa Claus
there could be no Christmas and
certainly at no other time of the
year would old Santa be allowed
admlttance by way Of the Chin
ney instead Of the door.
Christmas is the same this
year last year and all the years
before. 1t is old, yet It's new.
1t Is "a thing of the past. of the
present and will be of the future
until time immemorial Who is
there among rs 700 old to re-
member the Christmas Of his
childhood? Is there one who
does not look back upon it as the
happiest dav Of his life?
Don't YOU know, Santa Claus
is the spirit of Christmas, and
ever and ever so many years ago
when the dear little baby was
born after whom We call Christ
mas, and was Graded in the
manger out in the stable because
there was not room in the inn,
that Spirit came into the world
to soften the hearts OF men and
make them love one another.
Beautiful and right it is that
gifts and good wishes should fiji
the air like snowflakes at Christ
mas-tide. And beautiful is the
year IN It's coming and Its go
ing most blessed and beautiful
because it is always the wear OF
Our Lord.
The best part OF the holiday
season, perhaps is the opportu-
nifty il gives for home gather
ings and the family reunions
that in these busy days are all
too few. Many a young man
finds time TO get back to the old
hearthStone and sits down in the
dear home circle, who, If the
holidays We're omitted would be
kept strictly at his tasks. All
the schools are dismissed. boys
and girls are al nome, teachers
likewise are off duty. and with
no care pressing, in thousands 4
places parents and children have
happy times together for which
they may thank the festive
season.
Christmas most truly belongs
10 the children. Ii celebrates
the event of the Christ child. 70
whom the wise men brought
gifts, and the shepherds came
and worshipped. Would that
every child in this land of album
dance might receive the little
portion necessary 10 iii the

sobs and tears away. Ii taxes
so little 10 open the founts of
JOY of a child. IL would seem so
small a portion might fall to the
lot of every child. But alas.

Taking this from the $3.50. 0O
in favor of machine, you still
have a saving Of 500. 0Oin favor
of machine, but while the ma
chine scatters some little cotton
on the ground, vet it takes a less
amount of machine picked cotton
to make a bale than il does of
hand picked cotton. We have
known of a bale of machine
picked cotton being made from
1900 pounds of seed cotton, while
with the average hand picked il
takes 1900 pounds. Again, some
