To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
We dream of a mechanical picker that will gather the crop free from trash. The genius of the world is, I believe, approach- ing a solution of this problem and a mechanical picker will be produced which will pick the cotton clean and at a material reduction in cost from that of hand picking, which is the most expensive operation in the entire process of preparing cotton for market. Ginning is the first real torture to which the cotton is subjected. The saw gin is by far the most practical of all... machines yet produced for separating the seed and the fibre. To realize that this process consists in forming the seed cotton into a roll resembling a wooden log, then holding it against a gang of saws upon a mandrel usually composed of seventy or eighty sharp-toothed saws, ten or twelve inches in diameter, running at a speed of four hundred revolutions per minute, is but to wonder how a single fibre can escape mutiliation and reach the spinner whole, yet a saw gin so constructed that the relation of the saw tooth and rib at the point where the fibre and seed are separated is such that the fibres are in reality pulled from the seed instead of being separated by a shearing cut, will in the hands of an expert separate the fibre from the seed, unscarified and practically its full length.
