Farmers Get Plenty Of Rain in Some
Places, Praying for it Elsewhere Here

City has also had several good
showers, according to reports in
the Agricultural Agents office.
Marysville, most of Paris Town
ship, Union Township and other
areas throughout the county have
received little or no rain. Marys-
vile has had only 2.86 inches of
rain since June |, according to
Russell S. Banks, local weather
observer.
Mr.. Greeneisen also said that
wheat root rot and wheat stem
rust had been noted in several
wheat fields in Darby Plains. The
County Agent does not know if
these two wheat diseases are to
be found all over the county OF
just in this one instance, since
only these few cases were called
to his attention.
Wheat root rot is only serious
in fields where wheat has been
planted the second year. 1t can
be controlled by good crop ro-
tation, the County Agent stated.
Wheat stem rust is a fungus
that is spread by the wild bar
berry plant. Killing and con-
trolling this plant is principal
curb of the wheat stem rust, he
added.

Poem on Post Card Getting Plenty of
Baby Sitting Work for Marysvizle Girl

Reliable service-the kind all
parents desire-is the kind feat
ured by today's baby sitter. And
it seems to include quite variety
of obligations if the post card
sent out last week by one Marys-
vile girl, is any criterion.
Several citizens of Marysville
recently received cards from Sara
Jean Wright, S. Maple ST., featur-
ing a clever verse as an advertise
ment for baby sitting. The verse
on the card reads as follows:
"a Midsummer Ewes Daydream"
Twas the night of the bridge club
And all through the house
Not creature was stirring
Not even mouse.

them has declined to serve again.
"Other than that, we have had

Relic of Days Gone By
McIntire Buys Irwin School,
One of Oldest in the County

Irwin's two story brick school
building, one of Union County's
oldest, abandonded in 1943, was
sold Saturday at public auction,
to Frank McIntire, of Irwin. The
2R acres of land on which the
building stands was sold with the
building.
The building was erected in
1903 and an addition to the north
constructed in. 1915. The school
was thus increased eight rooms
and an auditorium.
First-grade high school charter
was granted Dec. 13, 1915. The
first graduating classes contained
only two to three people, in
creasing to nine the last gradual
ing class in 1923.
Merged with Milford Center
In 1929 the Irwin merged
their four high school grades with
Milford Center High School. The
seventh and eighth grades moved
to Milford Center in 1912 and the
balance of the grades joined the
Union local school in 1943.
The school was forced to close
its doors because it could not con-
tinue to meet the expenses and
teaching facilities needed for its
pupils.
Irwin school had an active P
T. A. organization of which
Charles Moran was president most
of the years of its existence. One
of the most outstanding events of
the school year was it's annual
oyster supper, sponsored each
year by the P. t. A.
This supper drew people from
Milford Center, Marysville and
many localities of Union County.
Candidates for the county cleo
tions especially enjoyed the sup
pers to make many contacts with
people in the county.
Won Baseball Title
In 1924 the Irwin baseball team
won the county baseball tourna-
ment.
Last graduating class of 1923
made up of nine members were
Catherine Stillings, John Miller,
Agnes Archer, Merle Wood, Wal
ter Ryan, Dora Jenny, Glen
Woodwork, Eugene Phelps and
Frances Scott. The faculty during
this school year consisted of A. T.
Smith, superintendent; Mrs. Eva
Guy Wing, principal; T. Miller,
James Beard and H. O. Snyder.
: Members of the last board of
education of Irwin school were
H. F. Stillings, president; Ger
hardt Boerger, Dana Gorton,
Vern Howard, Robert Knedler
and John DeVoss, clerk. Marion
Shanks was superintendent of the
school during its last year, in
1942-43.
Mr.. McIntire said he did not
know what he will do with the
building and 2ls acres of land. He
stated he might make a truck
stop, or he might resell the land.
