Just a small patch Of a good variety
of red raspberry will afford fresh fruit
for the table for many weeks. Some of
the new varieties are ever bearing. Per-
haps n of the best is the Erskine
Bark.
In setting out the plants first manure
and spade the bed as for a garden. If
the plants are trained to a wire trellis
they can be set two feet apart. Six
or eight plants will be sufficient for
an average family and ought to pro-
duce at least a pint a day from each
plant.
BY having so few plants, they can be
watered and we'll cared for. Hand
wedding about the plant is always the
best way to cultivate raspberries.

and those who talk Of prewar wage
scales under present currency condi-
tons ignore entirely the fact that we
do not have prewar dollars and we will
not have them for many Years to come,
The department of labor holds that
wage scales have less to do with con-
struction and manufacturing costs than
efficiency OF abor. Investigations in
this field suggest a gradual improve
ment in efficiency of labor as the re-
adjustment progresses and industry
gets away from the h~igh-speed, forced
production regime incident to war. Mr..
Morton Chase futile, who served as
production manager for the U. s. Emer-

atioh, especially In the building and

Since January there have been re-.

stacles to be eliminated before a general
revival of building and construction
work would be had,
No Prewar Prices.
Recently the information and educa-
tion service, in the department of labor,
has been putting out the results OF in
v~estlgations by trained economists, in
the price ana wages fields. The Conolu-
sion has been, and in this conclusion
SO eminent an authority as Prof. Irving
Fisher of Yale university has eoncurred,
that the popular expectation of a re-
estab!lshnfnt of prewar prices is not
justified. 1t was asserted that wages
had not advanced In proportion to liv-
ings costs, and that while minor price
changes might be expected In some
fields, to use the language of Prof.
Fisher, we are on "a permanently
higher price level and the sooner bust
ness men Of the country take this view
and adjust themselves to It, the sooner
will they save themselves and the
nation from the misfortune which will
come, II we persist in our present false
hope"
Since the steel industry is one which
most profited from the demands of the
war, it probably can afford to make a
greater reduction in present prices han
may be expected in other industries.
Building and construction authorities |
are not, therefore, disposed to believe
that subsequent price negotiations by
the industrial board of the department
of will develop reductions
proportionately as marked az those an
nounced for steel. They assert that the
boards statement, sin view of the
higher costs developed throughout the
world. as a result OF the war, a return
to anything like prewar prices is re-
garded as out Of the question: Is a |

tion Of the statements made'b by the de-
partment Of labor in its campaign to
