Last Chance to Secure Spanish Voguei
Introductory Rate

NOTWITHSTANDING the strongly indicated probability
of the success of our venture in Latin America, we
y thought perhaps Latin America might be different from
the United States and Europe, and decided on a conservative
advertising rate.
But Latin America was not diff erent. Our success there, even at
the moment, warrants a much higher rate, but we have de-
cded to give all advertisers the opportunity of securing the
Introductory rate throughout the year 1919, provided they use
space in the March or April issues.

lands and labor scarcity were given
as the causes for a shortage OF crops
by @. r. Warren. professor Of farm
management at Cornell university to-
day In testifying at the senate agri-
cultural committees hearing ON the
food situation.
The method OF fixing prices for
wheat was assailed by Mr.. Warren
who said the food authorities do not
take into consideration unfavorable
conditions in wheat production.
The most effective thing that can
be done to stimulate production -
Mr.. Warren said, ''Is to have the
government definitely announce that
Il will allow the farmer to sell his
products on free market without
price control"
