Our Great Half-Price Subscription Offer Again Re peated Every Subscriber Urged to Get a Club - The Easiest Way to Pay Your Subscription and at the Same Time Get a Cash Prize. The time has arrived when we make our annual special offer to new subscribers 15 cents till January 1st to any man not now taking the paper and one month's credit on your label for each new name you send us! Our regular rate from October 1st till January 1st is 30 cents so this is virtually a half-price offer, and we lose money on it. We have lost money on it each year and we shall losemore on it this season than heretofore because paper and all other publishing expenses are higher than ever before. : But the offer is made solely to induce people not now reading the paper to give it a few weeks' trial at low cost, and to this end the offer is re peated; And. now, Mr. Subscriber, I hope you will take off. your coat and "get busy" in our behalf. Here tofore we have swept in as many as 5,000 sub scribers in a single October on this offer and we must do even better this year. We must make a clean sweep. Our thirty-day whirlwind campaign last winter met serious obstacles -almost un precedentedly bad weather and the fact that there was ho special offer to attract readers and many of our readers did absolutely, nothing for us: failed absolutely to get any new subscribers. J Now in this fall 1 5-cent campaign everybody musts help! And do not let up until every farm er and r farm owner in your acquaintance is brought into The Progressive Farmer Family. It will do good. It will help your neighborhood. It will mean better farming, better roads, better schools, better citizens, prettier homes, happier wives all these things The Progressive Farmer helps to promote, and you can do no better mis sionary work than to help increase its circulation. "i. And with un offer like this, it is easy to get subscribers. They come tumbling oyer one an- How Much Are You Losing ?r itAv-dj lfv, tn 1 'jrx - - -vv WfA A? growing popularity of warehousing, scenes like this are becoming rarer and rarer. Farmers are beginning to understand that cotton left exposed to the weather loses $5.00 in grade for every $ i. do it is supposed to gain in weight. . And farmers are begin mng, wo, 10 wace up 10 we zmpuriunve uj rnuny uj me ower wastes in picxingr gi?ining ana selling that have hitherto been ignored and just here the ideas set forth in our striking articles on pages 2 and 3 of this issue will save our Progressive Farmer cotton growers many thousands of dollars. Read the articles and you will likely reach the same conclusion as that set forth in the leading article: i( After doing d hard year's work to make the crop, ready to pick than they net from the cropx and another third loses five limes as ?nuch as they should. How much are YOU losing? other to get in under this proposition. We do not need to argue its advantages. We only urge each and every reader to try to get at least six of these new trial subscriptions for us during the month of October and as many more as possible. And here in brief is the proposition: .' ; I. To any man not now a subscriber we will send The Progressive Farmer every week from now till January 1, 1008, for 15 cents, and stop the pa er promptly then if the paper is not renewed. II. For every new trial 15-cent subscriber you send us we will credit you a month on your subscription twelve new trial subscribers will renew you for a year free of cost, six for six months, three trial subscribers credit you three months on label, etc., etc. And finally, in addition to this, we are going to give a prize of $1 every day during the month of October to the man orwoman, boy or girl, who sends us the largest list of 15-cent subscribers that day whether the number sent be three or three dozen .... ' Understand then: You get credit for one month (8 1-3 cents) on your label for every subscriber you send anyhow -and in addition to this, if your list is the largest of the day, you get an additional cash prize of $1. t. And now :to the field! 1 Get every1 farmer, of course, (it's positively un fashionable? and out-of-date to try to farm now without The Progressive Farmer); but don't stop here. Get every man who owns a farm, too; no man should be allowed: to own land who doesn't take a wide-awake 'farm paper. Every farmer, farm-owner, farm manager, farm tenant, farmer's wife everybody who has, any relation to a farm needs The Progressive Farmer. And this j year let's get them all. Let's make a clean sweep, we must get the coveted 3U,ouu. I wish I had time to write each and every read er a personal letter, but I haven't; and so through this printed page, Brother Subscriber and Mrs. Subscriber, I most earnestly ask for your sup port. M 'i Please do not j fail to send us a club of 15-cent subscribers during the next 30 days. I am counting on you. Yours cordially and earnestly, I 5 ; CLARENCE H. POE, M ' Editor and Manager.
