this early date for Kent county.
These checks which are being dis
tributed at the present time repre-
sent a payment of IL cents bushel
on the average yield of wheat in
compliance with the acreage allot-
ment, and should not be confused
with the agricultural conservation

these conservation payments will be
approved by the Washington office
OF the Agricultural Adjustment Ad-
ministratiOn, however, each farm
which is listed in the 1899 program
must be inspected by one of the field
supervisors and determinations
made with reference as to whether
the farm is in compliance. This field
work is being conducted under the
direction of Kenneth T. Meredith.
State field supervisor for this con-
program.
Within the past several months
the members of the county commit
tee with the assistance Of office
clerks have been tabulating data in
regard to the crop acreage and
wheat and vegetable allOtments on
each farm in the county. Later in

FRIGIDAIRE NOTES

/ One of the first concerns OF bride
/ when she starts out as homemaker
! is the subject of food. Recipe books
usually are indispensable To her Tor
preparation of many dishes with
which she is unfamiliar. but sale
preservation of food is a matter ON
which, heretofore. less explicit IN
struction has been available Fortu-
nately, however, for June brides this
year. an entirely new principle III
electric refrigeration greatly slmpll-
fies the food keeping problem.
With this new type of refrigerator,
which combines the advantages OF
two distinct forms OF refrigeration in
one cabinet. foods which will not dry
out and those which are susceptible
to loss of moisture are divided into
their respective claSSitications and
are kept in perfect condition in the
type of cold that best preserves their
original condition.
This new type of electric refriger-
atOr is known as the Cold Wall and
il is radically different from any au-
tomato refrigerator yet developed, -
says D. B. Bach, local dealer for Frig-
idaire products. while women who
lave been keeping house know the
difficulties involved in always COW
ering foods which depend on mOis-
ture content for their flavor. color
and appearance, new brides, aud
other women, will never be faced
with this problem if they take advan-
,on,n - tha .CnId NVall' fvRa nf an
tomato refrigeration"
According TO Mr.. Bach. the cold
Wall' has an upper compartment in
which the freezer is located. Here
such items as milk. beverages, can
ned goods, and other foods in con-
tainers, may be stored conveniently
and safely This section provides the
same type of refrigeration as is
found in the conventional electric
refrigerator
But, Mr.. Bach adds, the lower COM
partment offers the exclusive and
outstanding advantage of uniform
cold temperatures without moisture
robbing air circulation. This means.
he declares, that foods such as yege-
tables. fruits, sliced meats. left-Overs.
and others, may be stored without be-
ing covered and will keep for many
days beyond the time usually consid-
cred safe in the conventional refrig-
orator.
The Gold Wall" operates with no
other than the regular
'meter-miser." Cooling coils conceal
ed in the sides. back and bottom of
the cabinet. contains a special refrig-
Grant that removes heat before it
penetrates the walls of the cabinet. |
A heavy glass shelf, called the dew /
fresh" seal. divides the two compart-
ments and prevents air circulation.
which would transfer moisture to the
freezer. Humidity in the lower sec
lion is maintained at a level between
S5 and 80 per cent. which means that
'ood moisture is held intact. without
oss. even though foods are stored
without being covered.
