The recent sixth birthday of the
quintuplets brought considerable
public attention to the original re-
frigerator that was used in protect-
ing the food of the Dionne quin-
tuplets shortly after their birth six
years ago, which is now on exhibit
at the New Yorx World's Fair where
it creates a great deal of interest on
the part of visitors, according to
Frank R. Foster.
"One of the many individual dis-
plays that form part of the gas
industries’ exhibit group known at
the New York Worlds’ Fail- as ‘Gas
Wonderland' is the actual refrigera-
tor that was hurried to the small
farm house in the Canadian north-
woods where the Dionne quintuplets
were bom.
“The refrigerator which was do-
nated to the guardians of the quin-
tuplets by the manufacturers of Ser-
ve! Electrolux refrigerators at Evans-
ville, Indiana, was welcomed by Dr.
Dafoe and the nurses who were in
chaige of the children. It was used
to preseive the human milk with
which the tiny immature infants
were fed.
“The miniature babies’ hospital or
nursery which was built for the
special use of the quintuplets was
also equipped with a Servel Electro-
lux refrigerator and was regarded
by the guardians as invaluable m
caring for the food of the famous
children.”

NOTES FROM THE
COUNTY AGENT
Exports A Problem
As the war goes on in Europe,
every farmer asks many times how
the war will affect the sale of farm
products and commodity prices. The
officials of the Denartment of Agri-
culture in Washington have given us
an idea as to exports .n the informa-
tion received recently.
No matter what happens over
there, we face a reduction tn the
export of most of farm products.
Some officials estimate that we may
lose 50', of our exports, and instead
of looking for higher prices, the
prices may tend to drop a little. We
are apt to be selling on a market
that is weak and Jittery, with sur-
pluses increasing in most lines.
On the other hand, producers of
commodities that are consumed in
this country, should benefit some-
what from the rise in prices of do-
mestically consumed products since
the people in towns will have more
purchasing power as the wages, and
number of people working on the
defense program begin to spend
their -vaees. A little upturn may
be expected in industrial activity.
The first six months of the war
saw the export market for tobacco
and fruits affected. The United
Kingdom, cur biggest buyer is out of
the market, and will not be expected
to return soon. Wheat exports since
September have been less than one-
fourth of the amount for the •am-'
period last year, and no increase is
in sight. Cotton has already felt a
big slumn Last week the exports
dronned from 40.000 bales down to
73.000. Up to a few months ago
70", of our exports went to Britain,
but lately, these have gone and Inst
week not a bale was sent to England
Over 90", of our exports are now
going to France. Spain. Canada and
Japan, and some of these are likely
to drop out soon
Farmers should become acquainted
keep all available machinery and
men busy for many years, and the
supervisor will not have time to go
around asking for signers. All the
work on a farm is not done any one '
year, but is spread over a period of
years.
Up to date, the landowners in 65
watersheds have asked for hearings,
and 65 elections have been held
Over 55 districts have been approved
by the landowners.
Tiie soil conservation district is a
democratic way for neighbors to get
together to work out their needs for
soil conservation.
The first step is now before us
IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT A
GOOD NUMBER OF LANDOWN-
ERS BE AT THE MEETING SAT-
URDAY MORNING. Even though !
it is a busy season, let's turn out for
the meeting.
Soil Conservation Meeting
The State Soil Conservation Board
will hold an open public meeting in
Montague Saturday morning at 10:00
A. M. in the District Courtroom. The
Board is meeting at the petition cf
the landowners of this area, and will
be the most important meeting ever
held in Montague for the farmers.
I The Board wants to get an opinion
I from the landowners and farmers on
soil conservation, and the need for a
soil conservation district. Every
landowner should attend this meet-
ing and give his opinion, either for
or against the proposed district.
Leaders from the different com-
munities are arranging to come over.
For those who have not been keep-
ing up with the progress of the soil
conservation movement, the follow-
ing will be of interest to you. When
a group of landowners in an area
become interested in a soil district,
they petition the State Board for a
hearing such as the one we are
having Saturday. At the hearing, if I
granted, the farmers in the area will I
be given an opportunity to give their |
views in the matter, and present evi- I
dence as to the need and desirabi’itv I
of such a district. If the Board feels
that there is sufficient interest ip
the District, an election will be or-
dered for the landowners to decide
whether or not the district should be
created.
In the election that follows, if two-
thirds of the landowners vote in
favor of district, it will be controlled
by 5 farmers that are elected by the
other farmers. The whole program I
is started, managed, and carried out
by farmers only.
The farmer-supervisors will re-
quest asistance as they see fit from
all possible sources in running lines,
building terraces, and use of ma-
chinery’. In many states having a
soil conservation district, much
heavy machinery is available.
The services and assistance of the
district are ENTIRELY VOLUN-
TARY. A farmer who wants help
from the district supervisors, asks
them for help, and with them, he
works out a,plan for the farm, then
the supervisors and he decides what
they are going to do. They both sign
the agreement showing what each is
to do and how much is to be done
each year. No landowner is forced
to sign up. and no help is given to
anvone except those who ask for it
The district CANNOT VOTE
BONDS OR LEVY TAXES OF ANY
KIND. The supervisors have no
money to spend and will be given no
money to spend.
The districts are to help the
farmer and cannot do the whole iob
for him. Each farmer still will have
a great deal of work to do.
Now. let us take a look at what
happens in a soil conservation dis-
trict. Suppose that John Smith has
a 200 acre farm in the district and
HE DECIDES that he wants some
help in soil conservation work. He
goes to the farmer in his area that
is a supervisor and asks for help.
They decide how acres should be
terraced, if any. how acres should
be contoured, how much pasture
needs contouring, how many terrace
cutlets the farm needs. They decide
how much that Mr. Smith can do
each year without too much expense
to him. They both sign the agree-
ment showing what each is to do for I
five years. No work is done unless
they both sign the agreement, and
no one will be asked to sign up.
There are enough good farmers I
wanting soil conservation work to
