A short 1906 encyclopedia article on mechanical handling of cotton, from harvesting through ginning and baling. It describes the Mason Cotton Picker and an unsuccessful experiment with trained monkeys as pickers near Natchez, Mississippi. It also covers ginning, Eli Whitney, and the roller compress's round bale versus the square bale, with savings in space, freight, insurance and fire risk.
