furthermore, that a major prosperity
cycle never ends without bringing
with it new high in our standard
Of living. Comparing a number of those
peaks we find per capita income of
$500 in 1907, S6l3 in 1920 inf1ated
by war time prices) and $625 in 1929.
Our average per capita income in
1887 is only $5l3. Does any one
seriously believe that the people of
the United States will be content
with a standard of living in 1897
materially below what they had eight
years ago? Does any one imagine
that our continual rise in living
standards. that began in our earliest
days, has suddenly come to a halt and
that in the face of our ever-mount-
ing chronological improvements, we
are willing to retrogress rather than
progress?"
While some building material costs
may be slightly out of line, Mr.. Bober
asserts that this factor has been
grossly exaggerated because of the use
of crude, unadjusted cost indexes.
Progress in construction methods and
the utilization of space have effected
economies that practically balance
the rises in material costs. so that as
much house per dollar is being given
now as last year and considerably
more than in 1929. In face Of the
fact that 100000 homes would have
to be built annually for the next
five years to house the American peo-
pie as well in 1943 as they were
housed in 1929, involving $5,O0O,-
100000 per year for new homes and
modernization alone, it Is difficult
to see how the present level of mate
rails prices could impede housing
progress.

EVERGREEN PROTECTION
Soak for Adequate Moisture for
Winter Advised.

The most common type Of winter
injury to evergreens is not caused by
low temperatures and the freezing Of
the tissues, but by the drying out of
the leaf tissues because Of excessive
evaporation of water from the foliage,
due to the action Of sun and wind.
An important precaution against
winter injury of evergreens, therefore,
is to soak the ground around ever
greens thoroughly in late autumn, Just
before the ground freezes, to insure the
tree going into the winter period with
sufficient supply of moisture.
Allow the water to run from the
hose around the foot of the tree for
several hours. so as to saturate the
ground to a good depth.

of grain crops in regions where
moisture reserves are adequate,
but there are large areas in which
rain is urgently needed, according

The lack of adequate rainfall to

southern Saskatchewan are poor.
Some insect damage is reported.
The report adds:
"In other parts of Canada,
