BOYCE DATA SOUGHT.

Jackson, Miss, Oct. 14.-Chancellol
q. b. Taylor was present at the Dc
partment of Justice today, havin9
gone there by agreement OF counsel
to hear arguments Incidental, TO the
procedure in the attorney generals
suit on behalf of the state against
c. R. Boyce & Company. Assistant
Attorney-General Ethridge is handling
the states end of this cause celebre,
while B. H. Wells of Wells, May &
Sanders, is watching the interests of
Mr.. Boyce. The arguments today were
not on the merits of the controversy,
as to whether or not Boyce G Com
pany are indebted to the State of Mis-
sissippi in large amount, made up of
alleged short weights of cotton. The
question was whether or not the court
can compel Boyce & Company to bring
certain data on weights and deliv-
cries of which the state claims to have
evidence. This case, together with
the cottonseed oil mill investigations,
and several others involving complex
questions of law and fact, has been
in the courts during the past 18
months, and it is long long way to
a definite decision, even as it stands.

COTTON SEED SOLD.

Jackson, Miss, Oct. 14.-A record
high price for cotton seed In a period
of ten years was secured by the pris.
on trustees of the state when they
sold. at the Parchman farm, where a
special meeting was held yesterday
ten car loads of the product for $3.50
ton, the successful bidder being a
broker, w. F. Hoy, of Prentiss. The
lowest bid for the seed was $33.
At the same meeting the trustees
sold 447 bales of the 1915 cotton crop
to Boyce & Company, of Memphis.
from 1857 to 1885 pound.
The trustees announced several
days ago that they would go to Parch-
man to open sealed bids on cotton and
cotton seed, and there was keen rival
ry between representatives of various
firms to bid in the seed and the cot
ton.
The price received for cotton seed
Yesterday shows a sudden advance in
seed. for two weeks ago all the trus-
tees could secure was $26.70 a ton.
The seed sold in 1914 brought an aver
age price of $2342 a ton. Evidently
the price of seed is more than keeping
pace with the advanced price in cot.
ton.
The penitentiary trustees estimate
the 1915 cotton crop at 5000 bales, or
about 800 bales less than in 1914. 1t
ia. believed. however, that the total
cash receipts for the. sale Of the cot
ton and cotton seed will go away in
excess of the receipts for the same
products in 1914, despite the decreas-
ed yield, owing to the fact that much
better prices are being obtained from
the buyers.
The prison trustees, after looking
over the great Parchman farm, re-
turned to their homes. Secretary ]. ].
Conan, of the prison board, went to
the farm, and is expected to return
tomorrow.
