Short Course Called Off
State College Indefinitely Suspends
Summer Plans.
Athens, Ga., Aug. 2.—According to
an announcement made Monday by
Dr. Andrew M. Soule, president of the
State College of Agriculture, the 3-
weeks’ short course at that institution
which were to have begun this week
havq been postponed indefinitely fol
lowing the suggestion of the appro
priations committee of the Georgia
Legislature that the Smith-Lever fund

that the funds making posible this
course are derived from the Smith-
Lever appropriation, it was decided to
postpone the course until it is known
definitely what action will be taken
by the Legislature in the measure.
