Tho price of The Sentinel is $2.25 the year. Until November 30 we will accept subscriptions paid in advance for a full year or more at «1.75. | In case subscription is in arrears, arrearages must be paid in full to and including November and «1.75 added for the year in advance. Arrearages should be figured at 19c for each month in arrears. If subscription is paid in advance, multiply 19c by the number of months it will take to carry subscription to November of next year, deduct 50c therefrom and the remainder will pay to next November. If subscription expires during November of this year, «1.75 pays to November of next year. These explanations show that subscribers get a saving of 50c whether subscription is in arrears, paid to date or paid in advance. « » EXAMPLES If subscription expires in September, 1923, 38c will pay to November; add «1.75 (total «2.13) and subscription will be paid to November, 1924. It subscription expires in October, 1923, 19c will pay to November; add «1.75 (total «1.94) and subscription will be paid to November, 1924. If subscription expires in November, 1923, «1.75 pays to November, 1924. If subscription is paid to December, 1923, it takes 11 months to pay subscription to the next November. Eleven times 19c is «2.09; deduct the saving of 50e, remit «1.59 and subscription will be paid to November, 1924. If subscription is paid to January, 1924, it takes 10 months to pay to the next November. Ten times 19c is «1.90; deduct the saving of 50c, remit «1-40, and subscription will be paid to November, 1924. The Sentinel aims to see that every subscriber gets a fair deal on this November special. Particularly do we look after the interests of our old friends who have been paying promptly for years. The idea is to have all subscriptions expire in November, thus saving The Hentincl considerable expense in bookkeeping, which saving we give to our subscribers.

Here, then, is no story of econom ic recession, but rather a picture of great resources built into the basic industry of this country, promising the firmest foundation for other in dustries that rest upon it and, too, greater opportunities for those who have remained upon the farms. As to its social phase, wo find the transformation of farm life al most as marked. The increase in the ten years from 1910 to 1920 of almosi «1,329,623,145 in farm imple ments and machinery indicated the extent to which cream separators, plows, mowers, threshers and the gasoline pump have taken drudgery out of necessary farm labor. Almost 40 per cent of all farms in tho United States possess a telephone. Farmers have bought their share of the phonographs. In 1920 there were approximately 3,000,000 motor vehicles on farms and, with the hard-surface road, farm life was thus tied with tho social life of tho nearest town. It has ever been a mystery to mo that we could accept the prophecies of agriculture’s decline when such facts as these are within the reach of all. Now let us turn to the situation that has arisen in our agricultural development to command tho atten tion of students of economics no less than that of the farmers. This is the price fall in wheut. We have passed through similar experiences and agriculture has survived more discouraging outlooks than exist to day. In some quarters there is a demand for remedial legislation. I do not know- of anything legis lation can accomplish that cannot be accomplished better and more lastingly by cooperation in business. In the present instance wo must pin our faith on natural remedies applied in the light of accurate in formation. And tho immediate ques tion arises: Is thero at hand a suf ficient fund of accurate information on tho wheat situation! The appeal made to 1’residont Harding by tho American Farm Bu- reua federation asking him to in duce wheat farmers to hold 200,000,- 000 bushels of this year’s wheat crop off the market, through aid furnished by the now intermediate credit banks is certainly a re markable one. According to tho ad vocates of the plan it would be effective in stabilizing wheat prices nt «1.40 or «1.50 a bushel nnd prove of groat benefit to the agricultural states. On the basis of a probable wheat crop this year of 817,000,000 bushel sand a carry-over of from 130,000,000 to 150,000,000 bushels, tho farmers figure a total avail able supply this season of nearly 1,000,000,000 bushels of wheat. Esti muting home consumption, seed re quirements and exports at 800,000,- 000 bushels, it is urged that 200,- 000,000 bushels could be withdrawn without difficulty and that it would prove most effective in stabilizing wheat prices nnd would permit tho formers to adjust their acreage and seed requirements a year hence. Wheat, of course, is a world crop and it would bo difficult, if not impossible, to put any such plan into successful operation, even witK tho nid of the intermediate crodit. banks, or with the aid of any other banks or factors. The proposal suggests the danger of one-sided in fluences from the various blocs or classes on legislative or other activ ities which, however well inten- tinned, are frequently impractical in economics.
