The special circumstances which
existed when Mclean Gardens
was opened in 1943. the court de-
cision said, were the following:
That the landlord was a de-
fense agency operating with funds
obtained from another Govern
ment agency.
That the buildings were erect
ed "for the benefit of a favored
class of tenants. namely, war
workers"
Profit Motive Absent.
That the profit motive existing

where the landlord intended to
secure to itself the greatest pos
sible economic benefit"
That lin fixing the rents there
were present factors which pre-
vented a bargaining valuation of
the property for rental purposes
under the then existing market
conditions"
The rent examiner. subsequently
backed by the administrator, had
ruled that no peculiar circum-
stances were cited by the Fairmac
Corp. in it's petition for the in
crease. This was an error, the
court declared.
The court did not order that the
increase be granted, but stated:

ing specialist was called to back
up Mr.. Funk's testimony in Fed
eral Court.

torney, on trial with E. F. Prich-
ard, jr., "a, his partner and former
confidant of top-rank Washington
officials, denied any connection
with the ballot stuf1ng that gave
254 bogus Democratic votes in the
presidential balloting.
One ballot of the 254 was
scratched against Senator Virgil
Chapman, Bourbon County Demo-
crat. for the Republican candi-
date, John Sherman Cooper.

of the forgeries until they were
publicized, didn't know the names
of the election officers and hadn't
been in Bourbon County for sew
eral months before the election.

Mr.. Funk said he first. learned
during the Christmas holidays.
while visiting in California, that
he was under suspicion in the
case.

G. Blackburn, that Mr.. Funk
signed 219 of the 254 phony
ballots.
Mr.. Salmon said it was his
opinion that the person who wrote
exhibits identified as Mr.. Funk's

the names that were forged on
the ballots.
He said Mr.. Funk's handwriting
was more consistent than the
questioned writing. He said he
found some general simlTarities in

Nitrogen Boosts Yield
Of Dryland Barley

THE USE OF ammonium nitrate
on dryland planted to barley re-
suited in ~noticeably increased yields
of grain during 1913, although pos
sibly not sufficient to offset the cost
of the fertilizer, a report from the
Gillette substation farm of the Uni
versity of Wyoming indicated.
Barley plots treated with 100
pounds of ammonium nitrate per
acre on April 16 and again on May
2 produced 41.60 bushels per acre
this fall. according to Leland Land
ers, farm superintendent. Compar-
able check plots which got no nitro
gen averaged 34.37 bushels of bar
ley per acre.
Landers reported the following
barley yields obtained with various
applications of ammonium nitrate on
the Gillette dryland soil: Check,
no treatment, 34.37 bushels of bar
ley per acre; so pounds nitrate per
acre applied April Is, $500 bushels;
One hundred pounds nitrate ap-
piled April Is, 1902 bushels; $50
pounds nitrate applied April Is,
1919 bushels; 200 pounds nitrate ap-
piled April Is, 1882; 100 pounds
nitrate, half applied April Is and
half applied May 2, 1912 bushels;
200 pounds nitrate, half applied
April Is and half May 2, 41.60 BUSH
els.
Egon barley was used in the ex-
periments and was seeded on sum-
.merfallowed small grain ground,
Landers stated. The crop was put
in April Is, 1913 at a rate of 30
pounds per acre, in 10th acre plots
replicated three times.
