Residents Asked
Not to Burn Leaves:
Town will Haul Them

Residents of Marysville are re-
quested by Mayor Kingsmore not
to burn leaves on any street in
the Village.
Practically all of our streets
have an oil base to them," the
Mayor said, land when anything
is burned on their surfaces, the
streets burn, too"
To get rid of the leaves, the
Village will provide leaf collec-
ton service each day. Property
owners who want the Village to
haul their. leaves away are asked
to rake them into piles on the
boulevard pl OTIS between side
walk and curb. Employees of the
str eet department will gather
leaves up from there and haul
them away.
I'VE also ask that people do
not rake their leaves on out into
the street." M Mayor Kingsmore
added. Leaves piled in cutters
are washed into our sewer sys-
tenn and clog things up"
The Mayor added that proper
ty owners who wish to do so may
burn their leaves in their own
driveways or alley provided there
is no fire hazard caused by such
practice.

Late Wheat Planting,
Rot in Beans Hits FarrnersI
Wheat Should Be
In Ground Oct. Is
Specialists Warn
Stem Rot in SoYbeans
Causing Heavy Losses:
Precautions Listed

Delays in wheat planting and
stem rot in soy beans are two
serious problems confronting
Union county farmers this fall,
according to County Agent Frank
GreeneiSen.
The sowing of wheat, due to
weather and other factors, is late
this year, according to Mr.. Green
eiSen. Normally the wheat would
have already been sown.
Specialists from Ohio State
university term this situation
rather serious" and recommend
that the wheat be in the ground
before Oct. Is at the latest. After
that date, the sewing of wheat
becomes a gamble due to the
weather conditions at that time of
the year.
Much of the wheat has not
been put in the ground because,
in many cases, farmers plant
wheat on the same tract on which
they grew this years corn.
Corn, Beans Slow
The corn is still very green for
the first of October and soy beans
are slow to ripen this year be-
cause of the cool weather, MIR.
Greeneisen said. The delay in
these two crops is subsequently
delaying the sowing of wheat in
many instances.
Another serious threat to the
farmer this fall, Mr.. Greeneisen
added, is stem rot in soy beans.
This disease is a type of fungus
growth and attacks the plant in
the stem right above the soil. The
growth girdles the stock above
the source of infection and causes
the plant to die.
Plant pathologiStS from Ohio
State university have been in
vestigating the disease, but until

Losses to Thieves
Lead to Action
AT Meeting Here
Sheriff Again Urges
Farmers to Write Down
Suspicious Licenses

Alarmed by heavy losses to
rustlers, sheep men of Union
County took preliminary steps
toward organization of a protec-
tive association at a meeting held
in the Court House Tuesday
night.
More than rs sheepmen from
three counties attended the meet
ing, called by the Union county

at the request of Sheriff Walter
T. Galloway. The session lasted
more than three hours as the
Sheriff discussed measures he
has taken so far to apprehend
the thieves, and those present
told of experiences they have had
In suggesting that the farm
ers organize a protective asSocia-
ton, Sheriff Galloway repeated
his earlies request that all farm
ers carry pencil and paper in
their cars.
Could Break Up Gang
Then" he told them, when
you are out on the road and spot
a suspicious looking car or truck
write down the license number.
That one thing might very easily
give us the lead which will break
up the thefts."
He urged that the protective
association be set up on a county
wide basis, then broken down by
townships to that all sections of
the county will be covered.
The organization was set up
under an old horse thief" sta
tute, and members of the group,
under this statute, have full po-
lice powers.
The Sheriff emphasized, how
ever, that he does not want
farmers to patrol roads or try
to apprehend the rustlers them
selves, should they by chance
stumble on the thieves in action,
for fear of getting shot. After
all, | can't be more than one

vile employers, civic leaders and
citizens to lend their support to
the observance of the week.
Mayor Kingsmore said he was
certain that most of the people
in Marysville were aware of the
need for rehabilitating and en-
ploying disabled veterans and
other handicapped persons. I'VE
must see that they have an equal
chance for gainful employment" 3"
he pointed out. He said, too,
that industry and business should
make full use of the handicap
ped workers immensely valuable
assets and abilities.
The proclamation stated that
impartial surveys have shown
that disabled veterans and han
dicapped workers are superior
employees when placed on jobs
that utilize their abilities. Mayor
Kingsmore urged all unemployed
handicapped workers, who had
not already done SO, to register
with the Ohio State Employment
Service, 2l1 S. Main ST., Marys-
vile. He requested local employ
ers to place their job orders with
the Employment Service" so that
disabled veterans and other han
dicapped workers may prove
their value to Marysville."
Mayor Kingsmore's proclama-
ton followed similar action by
President Truman and Cover
nor Lausche earlier this month.
