Picking Cotton by Machinery. Mr. Frank Page is making a com mercial proposition to the farmers of Edgecombe County to pick their cot ton by machinery.

His prices for the cotton are said to be arranged on a sliding scale, varying with the mar ket. There is a great scarcity of la bor in Edgecombe and Price has five of his machines there, having ship ped them from Laurinburg. The im portant point about this information is that the long expected time when a machine will go about to pick the farmer's cotton, just like a thresh ing outfit is available to thresh his wheat, seems to be about at hand.
