conventional an electric motor not shown will power the rollers 24 within the inclined cleaner those in the skill of the ordinary art will understand that basically the equipment that is described to this point is conventional and well known except for the additional opening for the hopper according to this invention transition 26 from the suction pipe 16 is located between the suction pipe 16 and the storage hopper 12 so that the inlet feed width is increased to the full width of the storage hopper 12 which is the width of the inclined cleaner 20 elbow 30 extends from down stream end 28 of the transition 26 in normal operation most of the air and all of the seed cotton will flow through the elbow into the hopper 12 feed rollers 36 are at the bottom of the hopper the feed rollers are driven by variable speed motor 32 wad buster cylinder 40 is located below the feed rollers the wad buster cylinder will also be driven by the variable speed motor 32 in operation if there is no sudden surge or slug of seed cotton fed the cotton and air will flow through the hopper 12 through feed rollers and the wad buster cylinder into the inclined feeder experience has shown that the cotton drops.
