What Of the Future?

1t is quite certain that our population
will increase 21a times in the next so
years. Will the output of our better food
stuffs be increased in like proportionY
1t is well known that our public do
main is almost exhausted. There is a
little government land OF doubtful quail
ty still open for settlement. 1t certainly
would be a liberal statement to say that
this unsettled land would take care of
the increase in population for five years.
There will also lie some arid land redeem
ed by irrigation; but this could not take
care Of the increase of population for
more than three or five years.
1t is fact also that we at present have
a surplus Of farm products. During the
abundant harvests of the past few years
we have been able to export the equiva-
lent in money value of abont 10 per cent
of our output. But with our population
increasing at the rate of from to per
cent yearly, it can be only short time
until this surplus will be needed for home
consumption.

Among the small wrinkles" / have
picked up is scheme to keep ones
watch dry even though you go overheard
or are drenched from wet bushes. 1t also
enables you to see the watch face with
out removing the waterproof covering
1t may be an old scheme but have not
seen anyone else use it. Take piece OF
pure rubber "dental dam" eight inches
square. put the watch in the center and
bring the rubber together at the stem,
tying the puckered up rubber snugly with
a bit Of string. This keeps your watch
absolutely dry and when you wish to see
the face, simply stretch the rubber over
the front and you can see the hands clear
ly through the rubber, made thin for the
time being by the stretching.-H. G. Cur
