Slight Danger
Others say there is slight danger
of wiping out this traditional’
foundation of southern agriculture
pecause the machine “just doesn’t
work like human hands” and that
even if it should: work the small
cotton farmer would continue to
jise cotton and handpick it for

fne Negro race who rove down the
roads from farm to farm during
she cotton picking season, plucking
the fleecy staple by the hundred
pounds 0T by daily wage and who
face this lack of unemployment if

jays by his crop and goes to pick

" gince the invention of the cot
ton gin which separates the seed
fom fibre more than a céntury
ago farm implement manufactur
ers have been experimenting with
cotton picking machines, many of
which have experienced more or
Jess success for their inventers and
many are in Uuse today in cotton
wnicine states.
Invention of Rusts
one of the latest inventions is
the product of John D. Rust and
pis brother, Mack Rust, who were
porn on a cotton plantation in
central Texas.
The Rust brothers elaim that
their machine during its final tests
at the Delta experiment station at
gtoneville, Miss,, a fews miles from
pere, picked 8,020 pounds of seexl
cotton in seven and a half hours,
that it will cover an acre per hour
and will do the work of from fifty
to a hundred persons down the
cotton TOWS.
The average cotton picker, the
man, his wife. and children, it is
estimated, pick from & hundred to
150 pounds of seed cotton a day.
This machine is described q.s,of
gimple design with an endless belt
carrying several hunt‘ireq smooth
wire spindles which rotate as the
belt passess over the #ow of cot
ton. ji
The spindles are automatically
moistened and as they penetrate
the plants the moisture causes the
mature cotton to adhere to the
spindles and to wrap around the
spindles from the cotton burrs.
Suction Fan Used
After thig the cotton is stripped
from the spindles and delivered by
suction fan into a container. The
green bolls and the stalks are not
molested in the operation, its in
venters sdy, and the fibre gatheéred
compares favorably = with hand
picked cotton. f i
The engineers of the Rust inven
tion say this picker has been per
fected sufficiently to justify pro
duction on a large scale and that
it can be pulled and powered by
an ordinary row crop tractor such
as is used in the usual farm op-
The Rust brothers dug back to
the days of grandmother’s youth
in their cotton picking experi
ments. They recalled how she
moistened -the spindle on her old
spinning wheel and employed that
method in the contact of the fibre.
Agricultural commissioners of
the Dixie states and farm experi
ment experts are glive to the pos
sibilities of the mechanical cotton
picking devices and comment vari
ously on the prospects.
W. E. Ayres, director of the
government’s Delta experiment sta
tion at Stoneville, Miss., QOmme'nxt—
ed that mechanical ‘cotton picking
would reduce the Mississippi delta
farm population sixty per cent.
“There is no question that the
cotton picker will revolutionize the
Industry,” Mr. Ayres said. In for

be stricken. Other matters, such
as Kennamer's drinking, should be
included, he added.
" JFor three hours opposing counsel
dissected and revised the question.
Judge Thurman Hurst reserved de
cision over the week-end.
Upon reopening of court, Charles
W. Mason, who was chief justice
of she Oklahoma supreme court
when the defendant’s father, Fed
eral Judge Franklin E. Kennamer
of Tulsa, was a member, testified
briefly he beiieved Phil was irra=
tional. He embarrassedly admit
ted on cross-examination that
“probably” he wouldn‘g have ap
peareq to testify if young Kenna
mer “hadn’t killed this boy.” *
Kennamer, admitting the slay
ing, claims he shot Gorrell in self
defense after frustrating an extra
tion plot he claims Gorrell had
aimed at 19-year-old Virginia Wil
cox, heiress to an Oklahoma oil
fortune. His attorneys. however,
contend he was temporarily in
sane.
Judge Mason testified to three
acts of irrationality on the part of
voung Kennamer:
That he once remarked, while
pacing Judge Mason’s 16th floor of
fice that “it woulg be a swell place
to commit suicide. Just jump out
head first.” »
That he wanted a job on an
Oklahoma City newsbpaper, but
wanted to start as editor.
That he told Judge Mason he
wanted to be a flier in a Central
American Revolution and thought
he could rule the country as its
dictator.
Under cross-examination by W.
F. Gilmer, jr., assistant county
prosecutor, Judge Mason saig he
di dnot consider it “irrational” for
a boy to want adventure in foreign
lands nor to own a large newspap
er. Both, he said, he considered
normal impulses.
Finally, Gilmer demanded.
“If you thought this boy hadn't
killeg that boy, you probably nev
er would have testified he was
crazy, would you?”

LIQUOR LEGISLATION
STILL IN SPOTLIGHT
(Continued From Page One)
take his chances with busy fed
eral agents. 0
In Washington Saturday, Rep.
Samuel B. Hill, democrat from
Washington state, said he was
considering introduction of a bill
to exempt state liguor dispensary
sales from the federal aleohol tax
es, whiche'un more than $2 a gul
lon. Hill is ranking democrat on
the house ways and means com
mittee in Washington.
The states of Virginia and
Washington, both operators of
state stores, have been leaders ‘in
the movement for removal of the
federal tax.
The house temperance commit-l
tee recently voted to recommend
passage of the Grayson-(}rovevsi
bill, which allows counties votingt
wet to have commercial liquol‘!
stores. The Griffin-Townsend bill
provides for state-ownedand state
operated liquor stores, under di
rection of the state, whose prof
its would go into the state treas
ury. The Grayson-Groves bill
would levy a sales tax and also
would authorize cities and coun- |
ties to tax retailers, wholesalers
and manufacturers.
Griffin and Townsend both said
they would seek to amend the
Grayson-Groves bill to carry out
the state store idea, which was
advocated here recently at a pub
lic hearing before the house tem
perance committee by W. T. An
derson, president and editor of
The Macon Telegraph. Mr. An
derson said he would lose oppor
tunity %for advertising revenue
from bar-rooms if the state store
plan were adopted, but believed it
would be the better system for
Georgia, since it would eliminate
the prometion of liguor drinking.
The state, he said, would not ad
vertise, and thus there would be no
advertising of liquor by bar-rooms.
Meanwhile, the matter of appro
priations took the legislative
spotlight.
Rep. J. W. Culpepper of Fay
ette, chairman of the house ap
propriations committee, served no
tice that he would bring up the
general appropriations bill for ac
tion Monday. The appropriations
bill has right-of-way over all oth
er legislation. The house could
table the appropriations bill and
handle other matters, but this
course is continued unlikely since
Governor Eugene Talmadge is un
derstood to have asked house lead
ers to take wup appropriations
next. y
The senate will take up minor
legislative matters on Monday.
GOLD DECISION IS
EXPECTED MONDAY
(Continued From TPage One)
call meeting before the market
opens.
There has been much talk of clos
ing the exchange when the verdict
is announced so that traders may
analyze the opinion and avoid hys
terical dealings, in the event that
the decision goes against the gov
ernment.
However, among the governors,
sentiment is understood to be that
the market should remain open for
business as usual, but with all deal
ings subjected to the strictest re
gulation.
If the decision is not announced
on Monday, it probably woulg be
withheld until at least March 4,
since the court’s schedule calls for
a fortnight’s recess beginning after
the announcement of opinions day
’
after today.
‘The court must decide whethel
congress had constitutional auth
ority for invalidating promises to
pay in gold or its equivalent. An
adverse decision would make some
$100,000,000,000 in outstanding pub
lic anqg private bonds redeemable
at $169,000,000,000 in the present
devalued currency.
Government counsel told the
court “chaos” would result, and
experts of the justice department
and the treasury have since de
vised courses of action intended to
meet any eventuality of the d(‘i
sion. k
Generally the attitude of the ad
ministration has been that no deci
sion adverse to the government
was expected. Nevertheless, all
possible steps have been taken fol,

decision,
