chinery Is driven by electricity geher-
uted miles away and transmitted
through cables. The harvester. the
threshing machine. the mower and the
trIctOr-drawn pillow have supplnnted,
to very great extent, human labor on
the farm. Farming. as 1t is conducte"
today. could not be carried on without
the aid Of machinery.
Yet with all the advance that has
been made In labor-saving machinery,
one Of the worlds greatest and impor-
tant crops-cottOn-is still gathered
by hand, just as 1t was 1900 years
ago.
Now, however, comes cotton pick
ing machine, operated by electricity.
which may be destined to revolution
ize the business of cotton growing.
This machine. according to Its promo
tiers, has demonstrated that 1t will pick
cotton four times as fast as 1t can
be picked by hand; that the cotton SO
gathered contains much less dirt and
trash than Is the case with hand
picked cotton. thus giving the cotton
q higher grade, which commands
correspondingly better price; that 1t
will reduce the amount Of seed cotton
needed for planting.
This machine. the invention of a
Memphis (Tenn.) man. represents IA
years Of study and experimentation
on the part Of the inventor.
1t consists of set of two revolving
brushes operated by flexible shaft
and incased In II frame or head, a few
inches in diameter; the frame hav-
Ing an opening large enough to admit
q cotton boil. The frame or head Is
attached to IL flexible tube two inches
ir diameter and about twenty feet
long. connecting it with the receptacle
in which the cotton is deposited by
the machine rs 1t is picked. Part way
down the tube Is small electric
motor which drives the flexible shaft
that revolves the brushes. At the
opposite end Of the tube from the
brushes Is combined suction and
blower apparatus, driven by another
motor. The entire device Is suspend.
ed on q flexible frame so evenly bul-
anced that II child could swing 1t In
any direction necessary to bring the
brushes into contact with the cotton
bolls.
-Four Of these devices are assembled
to make up a machine. and the four
sets are mounted on tractor which
Is driven by gasoline engine. This
engine not only drives the tractor
through the field. but runs u genera.
tor which supplies electricity for oper.
attng the motors. Thus the cotton
picking machinery Is operated at a
speed which Is constant and uniform.
ind quite independent Of the move.

Five rows Of cotton are covered at
each trip. each Of the four lines of

showed that men who had been pick
ing 100 pounds of cotton a day by
the hand method could pick 400 pounds
day by the use of the machine. and
this after only few days trimming.
This gain In speed means that the
planter Is able to gather the cotton MS
1t ripens and before its value has been
deprecated by the weather. 1t is said
that but half the cotton crop Of the
South is now picked before It has
been injured In this way.
1t also means that the amount of
labor for which the planter must now
make provision In order to have suffi-
pick the cotton will no longer be nee
essary. He will not have to provide
n means for keeping this labor en-
ployed at other times Of the year in
order to have It on hund during the
cotton picking season.
incidentally, this will pave the way for
the more general adoption of the true
tor and other farm machinery in the
South. which has not hitherto been
adopted to the extent that II would
have been had there not been SO many
employees available for plowing. plant
ing, and other farm work.
The importance of gathering the cot
ton as 1t ripens lies In the fnct that
picking cotton Is not like harvesting
wheat or corn, or any other crop
which ripens ut one line. Cotton
picking extends through two months
or more, the cotton plant producing
three distinct crops. The price re-
ceived by the grower for his cotton Is
determined by the grade and the length
Of Its fiber or staple. The grade Of
cotton is Its quality in regard to color.
cleanliness md the amount of dumage
done in ginning.
When the cotton becomes ripe and the
boil opens. the color is creamy white.
or white with a bright luster. This is
the color necessary to make the high
grade. When the ripe cotton is left
unpicked In the field II steadily de-
creases In weight and the dews and
rain dull Its color. When left unpIcked
through the storms Of November and
December, the cotton becomes stained
yellow or blue from exposure and mil.
dew. Stained cotton grades much low
er than that which Is picked white.
and sells for a much lower price be-
cause the f1bers are weaker md the
cloth made from 1t will not take dye
evenly and appears 'blotchy." To
secure the highest price cotton must
be picked as fast as II ripens, and
while 1t Is white. and the electric cot.
ton picker makes 1t possible for the
grower to do this
In the meantime the cotton.grow ing

STAR TRAVELS NEARLY
416,00O MI. PER M|N

CAMBRIDGE. Mass, Dec. 23.-
Nearly two and a half million miles
per hour, or LOO kilometres per sec
ond, is the speed set by the
star RZ Cephci, which, according TO
a bulletin issued by the Harvard Col
lege Observatory, has been found by
Harvard astronomers to be moving
through space with greater velocity
than that of any other star whose
speed has yet been determined.
This star, Il veriable star of the So
called cluster type, has long been
known to astronomers, but its velocity
was never measured until recently. It
Is far too faint to be seen with the
naked eye, being of the tenth magni-
tude. 1t is in the constellation Ceph-
Gus, and is $500 light years distant
from the earth, which means that the
light from it which astronomers nov
see through their telescopes started on
its journey to the earth in the time of
the shepherd kings of Egypt. nearly
1900 years before Christ. That dis
tance is only a small fraction of the
distance from the earth to some of the
more distant star-cluSters, but the out
standing fact about RZ Ccphei is that
its velocity as it flies through space
isc the greatest yet known for a star.

trouble that confronts the individual
grower when he comes to sell his
seasons crops" says Mr.. Robb. 1--WE
have been interested as banking in
stitution in watching the development
of this movement in this state, after
it's undisputed success among the
California Fruit Growers, the Michi-
gan Potato Growers and among SINH
lar groups of farmers in other parts
of the country, and we believe that
the plan, as adopted by the Jersey
Fruit Growers Cooperative Associa-
ton, which we have in part aided in
formulating its branch financial pol
icy is econmically sound. The finan-
cial problem of launching co-opera-
tive movement is one of the first
things that growers must face in this
development, but if they will consult
their bankers, that will find respon-
sive audience. The modern bank is
naturally anxious to do all it can to
improve and develop its community
resources and with many of the banks
in New Jersey, agricultural prosperity
is a big factor in determining the
status of deposits. Bankers recognize
that while the modern farmer has
! largely removed the hazard from pro-
duction, there still is critical risk
when it comes to marketing the pro-
ducts of his years work. The CO.
operative marketing plan, we believe,
can offer the farmer the best assur-
ance of protection of profits; can find
for his goods the best markets and
can handle his crop collectively far
more econmically than he could do
it alone. Burlington County now
ranks as the greatest peach county in
the world Many of it's largest fruit
growers were interested in the CO.
operative marketing program insti-
tuted this year. Our own observation
of the operation of this system during
it's initial season here shows that
scientific distribution of large per-
centage of the crop benefited not only
those growers affiliated with the CO.
operative movement but also i'm
proved the markets for producers who
have not yet had an opportunity to
become a part of the cooperative
organization. The cooperative mar
keting plan brings to New Jersey
farmers, in the most practical form
we believe, the scientific selling meth
; ods of other great business enter
prises. 1t is the policy of the banks
, to encourage better business methods
. and the farmers themselves have 81
: much of common need along this
line that they cannot afford to ignore
r the better marketing opportunities
The farmer is essentially a grower
not a salesman. Alone he cannot af
