COURT HOLDS
AUDITOR NEED
NOT ASK BIDS

Bismarck, N. D., May 1O.-While
disapproving of the policy of county
auditors letting supplies without COM
petitive bids, Judge Nuessle today
sustained a demurrer of County At
torney McCurdy to suit started by
the Bismarck Tribune company to
compel the board of county commits
sioners or cotnty auditor to ask bids
for the election supplies for Burleigh
county.
County Auditor johnson took the
position that the letting of this work
was his own personal matter and he
placed the contract for the Burleigh
county supplies with the Knight
Printing company Of Fargo, refusing
to allow any of the Bismarck print
ing plants or stationery concerns bid
on the various supplies.
Judge E. T. Burke appeared for The
Tribune in Judge Nuessle's chambers
this afternoon and asked that a. Ire
straining order be granted to prevent
County Auditor Johnson from award
ing these supplies without bid or price
to the Fargo concern.
Mr.. McCurdy While denouncing as
vicious the system followed in not ask
ing for bids declared that the law
gave the county auditor this power.
He demurred to the Tribune COM
plaint in the friendly suit brought and
the case will be appealed to the su-
preme court in an attempt to ascer-
tain whether supplies in excess of
$500 can be let without competitive
bids.
A month ago the board Of county
commissioners consented to receive a
bid from The Tribune company for
the election supplies. The Knight
Printing company refused to bid de-
claring that it was within the prov
ince of the county auditor to let this
work without bids and without inter-
ence from the county board. County
Auditor johnson refused to consider
the Tribune's bid declaring that he
had already let the work to the Fargo
concern without any price agreed up

BARNARD MANURE

Manure applied as a top dressing
should be spread evenly and lightly.
A manure spreader is almost indispens-
able for this purpose, although with
care It can be spread by hand al
though much more laborio1s.
1t is usually best to apply it after
the ground is plowed and work it
into the soil witllssa disk and harrow
as the seed bed is$prepared. Manure
does not decay as<rapidly when plowed
under as when applied as a top dress
ing and is therefore not as beneficial.
Also, where it is plowed under there
is danger Of producing loose open
seed bed which may result in injury
to the crop by drying out.
Barnyard manure alone is strong
in nitrogen and while it has been
claimed that live stock on the farm
will supply all Of the fertilizer neces-
sary for wheat, yet the bones Of the
animals sold from the farms re-
move more phosphates than a wheat
crop itself and it would be therefore
necessary to add phosphates either in
the shape Of 16 per cent acid phos-
phate at 200 pounds or, better, treble
.superphosphates at the rate of Is to
125 pounds per acre. These phosphates
will not be wasted even ii put on in
a larger ratio.
In other words, barnyard manure is
generally the most satisfactory ferti-
lizer for wheat but in most cases it
is more profitable to use it in con-
nection with acid phosphate.

High Court to Decide
Status of Will Leaving
Property to Sweetheart

Minot, N. D., May 10.-An appeal
from a verdict in favor of the plain
tiff in the case Of Mary Keller VS..
Peter Reichart, ct al, from Ward
county will be argued in the state
supreme court at Bismarck June 2.
The case has aroused considerable
interest in this section, it first having
originated in county court when that
court refused to recognize the will
presented by Mary Keller, and which
is was claimed was written and signed
by Reichart a short time before he
died in a hospital at Minot, leaving
his estate/to her, and not providing
for his relatives.
Miss Keller and Reichart were
sweethearts.
The relatives of Reichart presented
another will, made out by Reichart
before the one which was held by
Miss Keller.
The plaintiff took an appeal from
county court to district court and got
a decision there in her favor, deciding
that the will made by Reichart, be.
queathing his property to her, was
valid.
The defendant then took an an.
peal to the supreme court.
