4 THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AM) NEWS, WEDNESDAY, MAY 7. 1013. Aso3iF a T©vrH Some Perceive Such Step in At tempt to Move Experiment Station From Griffin. BY JAMES B. NEVIN Some see In the proposed closing of the poultry department at the Experiment Station a step 1n the di rection of removing tne entire Agri cultural Experiment Station from Griffin to Athene. There is considerable complaint manifested that the poultry depart ment at the Experiment Station should be closed. It Is not a highly spectacular department of the State to be sure, but it has been most helpful and beneficial to a large num ber of people. And these people fee! aggrieved that It should have been set aside for slaughter, when there are other things that might be spar ed. and with less loss to the State. The point that is interesting in a statewide way, however, is whether the Agricultural Station fhatl be moved from Griffin, where It was es tablished in good faith several years ago. upon conditions cheerfully com piled with by Griffin. The suspicion that there already is a quiet movement on to take the siation away from Griffin and locate H at Athens Is one that will not down In Georgia—and If the movement is on. it is foolish to suppose that it may be carried through without a mighty protest. Griffin is not going to see the Ex periment Station moved to Athens, if vehement and indignant opposition can prevent it. And in tills situa tion. it may be accepted ns a sure .thing right now. a large and Influen tial section of the incoming Legisla ture will sympathise with Griffin. One can heav it talked In the hotel lob bies around Atlanta. Coupled with It, moreover one hears much more or less unpleasant talk of too much polltlos, of one sort and another, along with the general comment. The disposition Is to think that the Experiment Station is a thing that should be kept free of all suspicion of politics—and the de velopment of the removal question likely will bring about the kicking off c*f more than one lid 1n the next General Assembly At least, that Is the line of talk one hears from the lips of not a few statesmen, who pass through the capital nowaday*.

Thus far. there seem to be no announced candidates tor this gener ally much desired plum. and the meeting of the Legislature is only some six weeks away.
