COTTON PICKING
REvOLUTIONIZED
TEXAS FARMERS GATHERING
STAPLE IN BOLL-MOOER
MACHINERY DOES THE RESI-.

sherman. Texas. Sept, 29-Wiu
cotton licking be revolutiouilcd aud
that iu the near future? This IS a
questiou that some people thiu', viii
be answered IN the affirmative.
A number of years ago a Yankee
from some northern state. who had
never seen stalk of cotton in his
life, rented a piece of land IN Gray
son county and, OF course, had to
put in some cotton. When the bOlls
developed to considerable size he
opened some of them and Gi3coy-
cred the pods as he was wont to
call them. TO be full Of the white,
soft staple Considering that the
pods were ripe, he hitchod a team
10 wagon. and he and his family
soon filled the wagon with the bolts.
Imagine his chagrin, on going to the
gin, To find that the bOllS We're NOT
only worthless, but his landlord
Threatened TO sue him for damage to
the crop The matter was finally
settled without a lawsuit by the Van
kee paying what three of his neigh
bors considered an adequate price
to the landlord, and after the crop
was gathered the Yankee returned
to his old home in the north
Yesterday T. ". Mcpherson, who
tills land on the old McGinnis farm
about five miles west of Sherman
brought in a wagon load of bolls
from which he could not pick the
cotton because of the continued rain,
sold enough of the staple at - IL
cents per pound to bring him 500
and took the seed home with him.
The Yankees idea of twenty y-iive
years ago has been worked out.
There is gin machinery made for
separating the staple from the hGlls,
and for several years farmers OF
Texas have been saved thousands
OF dollars through this machinery.
Every year lot Cf bollS have
been left in the fields because the
cotton was not considered worth
picking. Since the invention of this
machinery the farmers have been
gathering these boll5 ana the lint
has been bringing good money.
Mr.. Mcpherson had piece of cot
ton on bottom land which stayed
wet longer than other parts Of mis-
farm, and when he Went 10 pick the
cotton he found that the hulls stuck
to the staple and h. could not get
haIf OF it, After trying to pick 1t
for several days, he took his wagon
in the 1eld and gathered hulIs ard
all. The result was a very happy
surprise to him, for the cotton turn
ed out as well in the number Of
ponds as if he had picked il, and
for the class of cotton uade the
price was all that could be cX-
pected.
Cotton men who raise the staple
and men who gin it say that. in
their opinion, the day viii soon
be here when cotton will be gath
cred instead of picked The farm

GOPHERS LOSE
FIRST GAME

The East Chicago Gophers met de-
feat for the first time this season when
the South Chicago Uniques triumphed
over them in a seven-inning game at
Sawmill park, East Chicago. The game
was featured by a three-base hit made
by barrow and the base stealing of
McShane, who executed the difficult
task of stealing home.
The South Chicago boy found OAR
row for enough hits to sew up the
game. with the result THAI the East
Chfcagoans came out second best.
The score was 6 TO and despite
the fact that they lost the Gophers
still think that they can defeat their
classy rivals of Saturday. Just to
show hat they can stand defeat the
Gophers won from the Indiana Harbor
Ironsides Sunday, swapping them by
the score of % to s. Thomas, the
Gophers' pitcher. who Is said to pos
sess a spitball, was at no time in Sc
rious danger and this with O'Brien
and his other team mates smuggling
ability caused the victory to be easy.
