of the present season we put a
stop to the indiscriminate taking
of samples. We took one our
selves from each bale as ginned
and publicly notified the buyers
that they could go to Parchman
whenever they liked and exam
inc the cotton and make us Of
fers. We have handled the
Parchman crop for five years and
do not require the services of an
expert to class it. We know
pretty much what the cotton will
class under average conditions
and what it ought to bring on
the market. Each of US have a
phone in his home and a tele-
graph station near by and it is
only a matter of a dollar or so for
a buyer to communicate with
two of US, therefore why should
three members be expected to
leave home and meet together at
some given point every time the
market tumbles up or down in
order TO sell a few hundred bales.
Any firm has the privilege of
making an offer at any time. Ii
We don't like the bid we get
others. The man who keeps
posted on the cotton as ginned
has the advantage. 1t is true
that the firm of Boyce & Co buy
most of the cotton, and regard
less of statements to the con-
trary, they pay more for it than
we can get offered. Every time
they make a purchase from the
board the old wolf cry goes
up from a coterie of jealous buy
ers and we are accused of losing
money for the state. Right here
is a good time to digress and
state that the bienniel reports of
this board will show that during
the five years of our administra-
ton we have paid back to the
state every cent appropriated for
maintenance and in addition the
very handsome sum of $699, 311,-
81. Add to this the cash profit
of the present unfinished season
which, when closely estimated,
will be at least $250,000. 90, and
we have the immense sum Of
$949, 81. 81, most of which is de-
rived from the sale of cotton.
And yet the cry of graft" goes
up from the Clarksdale Challenge
because, according to their opin-
ion, we sold the last 1850 bales
for 81, 500 less than they were
worth. Every time we make a
sale of cotton some buyer goes
into print and says he would
have paid more for it if he had
been given a chance. He has
the privilege of examining each
bale as fast as ginned and of
making an offer thirty days in
the month. Is the public going
to believe this lone buyer and
must we go into print ourselves
to defend our position after every
salef
"These same charges were
made by the same crowd during
the session of the last legislature
and we were investigated. The
Challenge says of this investiga-
ton, for some reason it came

we were not held up to the pub

sentative body of the whole peo-
pie. The public generally may

ginned and desire to sell. If the
market takes a good turn he gets
in communication with us by
phone. If we have a thousand
bales on hand and he has classed
only 700 bales we will make a
price on the whole lot if he in
sists. He can do it because he
has made it his business to keep
in touch with the Parchman cot
ton and he therefore has a pretty
good idea what the 300 unclass-
ed bales will class. There is the
milk in the coconut. On one
hand a live, we'll posted buyer
who hunts us up and a lot of
other buyers under the haystacks
fast asleep waiting for Little Boy
Blue to blow his horn, wait
ing for the cat to hop. In those
cases the cat hops in the form of
Boyce with a good offer on a
doubtful market. We take it up
rby phone with some of the buyers
in spite of assertions to the con-
trary. Some of them have not
c'assed the cotton and want us
to wait. Others have seen only
700 bales and must see the other
800 before making a bid. This
will take two days. Do the PEG
Pile of Mississippi want us to sit
down and refuse a good offer
while some sleepy cotton buyers
proceed to Parchman to class the
cotton and while the market goes
down and Boyce withdraws his
offer? Any fair minded business
man can grasp this situation and
see the absolute fallaey of un-
dertaking to sell a crop of cotton
by advertising. You private CT
tizens don't do it then why should
the State do it?
Contrary to statement, there
has never been a time when we
sold a bale of cotton to Mr.. Boyce
without having other bids. 1t is
true we don't always work the
wire from Mississippi through
Tennessee down into Texas and
get bids from everybody, but we
do get other bids and know when
we have the best offer we can
secure. On occasions we had the
samples in New Orleans, Vicks-
burg, Greenwood and Clarksdale
and paid so cents per bale COM
mission. We have tried every
system and think we have the
best system of selling the crop
to the best advantage. Does
the profit and loss sheet bear US
out in our opinion?
The Challenge charges that
the last sale of cotton was made

true. The cotton was sold on
Tuesday, January 7th, on which
day the board was in regular
session buying annual supplies,

COL. TAYLOR'S STATEMENT
Denies Charges of Graft in Com
prehensive Letter.

Replying to the charges of graft
made against the penitentiary
trustees recently, Col. Leroy
Taylor last night gave out the
following:
Having been over to Stat
fords Springs for several days
for my health, | have just been
made aware of the charges
made against the Board of Trus-
tees of the Penitentiary by the
Clarksdale Challenge. Both of
my colleagues in office have made
answer to these charges, but |
feel that | owe it to the people
of Mississippi to make a plain
statement regarding sales of
cotton. 1t is not my inten-
ton to enter into any newspaper
controversy, but | am perfectly
willing now and at any time to
explain to the people any act
which our board may take.
The Challenge charges that
the board does not advertise
dates on which to sell cotton,
also hat one firm practically
buys all the crop. A charge of
graft is specifically made against
the board because this one firm
buys most of the crop.
Section 1922 of the Code of
1906, says, "All cotton and cot
ton seed and other products on
the state farms shall be sold by
the trustees in the manner they
shall deem most advantageous to
the state, to the end that the
highest price may be obtained
therefor" From this it will be
seen that the trustees may sell
the cotton in any manner they
see fit and the question there
fore narrows down to one be-
tween the Challenge, a few dis
gruntled cotton buyers and the
Board of Trustees as to what is
the best method of selling the
crop. While these charges come
from a small batch of cotton
buyers in C~larksdale, who have
been looking for the proverbial
Niger in the woodpiie' for
five years, it is but right that we
take the people into our conf
dence and explain why we think
we have the most advantageous
method of disposing of the
staple.
EARLY in the advent of this
board into Office it was found
unfeasible to advertise setting
certain dates on which to sell.
We tried this system, but in
most instances had to call off the
dates on account of unfavorable
market conditions. No one can
forecast the action of the cotton
market, and a few days may
make a difference of many points
either way. Therefore, why
should we tie our hands and con-
fine ourselves to a certain date
on which we are to leave home
and meet a lot of buyers at a
given point. What if the mark
ct should take a favorable turn
in the interim and in our opinion
demanded an immediate sale
without waiting for buyers from
Mississippi or Texas to answer
our call. No farmer in Missis-
sippi would put himself in a po-
sition where he had to refuse a
good offer for his cotton waiting"
for buyers to congregate at a
certain spot. Even when we
did have such a system of selling
we found that the buyers when
gathered together would not
make their best offer and on
several instances we spent the
whole day while they jockeyed
with each other and the board,
and in the end we departed with
ont making a sale. In a case of

GOV. LISTER SAVED
SAVED THE STATE

In 1894 the assessed valuation of
all taxable property in the state
amounted to S226, 245, 1872, while state
taxes of $7O5,431 were levied. This
year the assessed valuation is 81 OLA
Ala, opt, and state taxes amounting
to $s,937 ,525 have been levied
A comparison readily shows that
assessed valuation of the state to-
day is little more than four times
what it was in 1894 On the other
hand state taxes are more than II
times what they were in 1894.
In other words, state expenses have
grown three times as fast as have
the values of the property in the
state.
This is another comparison that is
interesting. If man owned piece
of land assessed at 81 900 in 1894 he
would have paid So II on it in state
taxes. The same piece of land, held
today, would be assessed at about
81 $50. and on it today state taxes
would amount to $39.45, while a piece
OF land assessed at 81 900 today would
pay state taxes of $e.sl as against
$3.l2 on property of the same value
IN 1924

In the supplemental budget bill the

soil is likely to wash during the win

The many uses to which this crop
may be put merit a careful study of
the best methods of establishing
stand of crimson clover upon farm.
Crimson clover is frequently called
scarlet clover and. somewhat less
commonly, German clover Italian
clover" "French clover ''incarnate
clover" annual clover" etc.
Crimson clover cannot ordinarily sur
vive the severe winters of the north
ern states. In the northern sections
where fall seeded lesume is desired
it is suggested that hairy vetch seeded
with rye be used instead.
Crimson clover is winter annual
that is. it ordinarily makes its early
growth in the autumn, passes the Win
ter in a somewhat dormant but green
state. makes a very early spring
growth and natures its seed and dies
before summer. 1t makes little or no
growth in very hot weather and there
fore should not be sown in the spring.
except in the extreme north, where it
may make satisfactory growth by
autumn, so that hay crop may be
taken from it at that time.

HOW TO MAKE USE
Of CRIMSON CLOVER

Probably the most important char
acteristic of crimson clover is its abili-
ty to grow and make its crop during
the season when the land is not Occu-
pied by the ordinary summer grown
crops. In sections where it succeeds,
crimson clover can be sown following
a grain crop or in an intertillcd crop
in late summer and will mature a hay
crop the following spring in time to
pillow the land for spring seeded crops.
such as corn or cotton. 1t may even
be held for seed as far north as CEN
trail Delaware and the stubble be
plowed under in time for seeding the
quick maturing strains of corn. 1t
may be turned under for soil improve
ment when only six inches high if it is
desired to fit the land for early spring
seeded crops.
Even if only the stubble be turned
under the effect upon the succeeding
crop will be marked. especially if the
soil be deficient in heterogeneous fertiliz-
ers. The blowing under the entire
plant, however will more rapidly cor
rect any deficiency of nitrates or hui

cover crops for use in orchards and. in
