name only two.
Several of the townships will
also elect justices of the peace

not all of them will have these

on the other hand, are entities to
two justices and constables, ell

In Marysville, no one has filed

they are undecided" as to
whether or not they will again
be candidates for the position.
All are finishing their second
terms as Board members.
Candidates for Village offices
in Marysville were chosen last
spring, since Marysville is the
only town in the county large
enough to have a primary cleo
ton. There were, however, not
enought candidates on either tick
ct to provide primary opposition,
so none was held here.
MarySville is also the only
town in Union County where
candidates will seek office this
fall under party designations. The
Republicans have a full slate of
candidates, headed by Mayor G.
L. Kingsmore, who is seeking
his second term, while the Demo
Gratis have only a partial ticket
with Robert Pfarr as candidate
for mayor.
In all other instances in Union
County, including the Marysville
Board of Education, candidates
run on non-partisan ballots and
nominations are made by petit
ton to be filed by Aug. 10.

Farmers Must Go Along With
Program II They Want Loans
Next Year; Reduction II Percent

Union County farmers will
have to cut their wheat acreage
approximately 1929 acres below
the average annual crop if they
want federal price support on
their grain next year, according
to Wilby Cochenour, head of the
AAA office here.
The acreage allotment for
Union County in 1850 is 28,l03,
compared with the average of 81
932 acres per year compiled over
a period of years. This years
grain crop was slightly more
than the average but the 1949 did
not figure in setting up the 1850
estimate.
''The reduction means that each
farmer who wants government
support prices on his wheat will
have to cut his acreage by APP
proximately IL percent" Mr..
Cochenour said.
