ENTOMOLOGICAL NEWS 



PHILADELPHIA, PA., DECEMBER, 1920. 



Program and Price of the News for 1921. 



In the October number we suggested raising the sub- 

 scription price of the NEWS to enable us to increase the 

 number of pages and possibly the illustrations. We have 

 received a large number of replies from subscribers favorable 

 to this suggestion. Unhappily, an increase in costs of print- 

 ing for 1921 appears to be widespread and prevents us from 

 enlarging the magazine to the extent to which we had hoped. 

 We believe, however, that we are justified in promising 

 thirty-two pages per month, instead of thirty, for the annual 

 subscription of $2.50, and this is our program and our price 

 for 1 92 1. We shall try also to give a few additional plates 

 or illustrations. 



W' T e hope that all our subscribers will remain with us and 

 help us as they have done in the past. All the income from 

 the NEWS goes into its printing and illustration and the 

 postage and stationery necessary for its maintenance. No 

 one receives any salary or compensation for work done on 

 the journal. Sooner or later and we hope sooner a de- 

 crease in costs of printing is probable, and when this happens 

 we shall enlarge the NEWS step by step with lowered expenses.
