MONKEYS TO PICK COTTON.
Trial Was Suggested by Antics OF
Pet ChimDanZee

An attempt is to be made in Full
ton, County, Ga, by French cotton
experts to teach monkeys TO pick
cotton. If the experiment succeeds
colony of monkeys will be i'm
ported and put to work
The idea was suggested by the
antics of pet chimpanzie carried
by farmer boy into the fields
The little animal, after frisking
around fNS a time and watching
the negroes at work, began of it's
own accord to pick the cotton with
almost incredita BILE rapidity.
Animals trainers find it very easy
to teach monkeys to perform any
manual trick or labor. By utilizing
monkey labor the cost of harvesting
cotton would be infinitely less than
with human labor.
