A five-page article from The Century (January 1882) reviewing the machinery and appliances shown at the 1881 Atlanta Cotton Exposition, with attention to what would benefit the cotton planter. It describes a seed-dropping cotton planter, horse-drawn sprinklers and dust-blowers for killing insects, seed-cotton cleaners, saw-gins and a roller-gin with steel combs, a gin-saw sharpener, a continuous self-packing baling press, and a proposal to feed a gin directly onto a carding machine. The focus is on cotton growing, ginning and baling rather than spinning or weaving.
