Athens Fair Faces 1921 Contingency on Smith Lever Funds
Athens leaders warn the 1921 fair may be ruined if the Smith Lever fund to the State College of Agriculture is discontinued. Farm demonstration agents and canning clubs tied to the fund would vanish, forcing plans to shift to a large 1922 exposition. If funds continue, organizers may resume 1921 fair plans and push ahead, but a fund lapse could yield a major 1922 spectacle.

Tech's Plea for Increased State Support
Dr Matheson says with enrollment doubling last year the state appropriation should have risen. The House granted 125000 more, the Senate cut to 100000, and Tech received nothing in the end. Undeterred, Tech raised 100000 privately to fund its work and vows not to rely on public funds again. Georgia and Georgians recognize Tech's achievements and a formal statement will follow after meetings with school authorities.

State College leader warns of Smith Lever fund loss
Dr A M Soule, president of the State College of Agriculture, argues that a legislature cut would damage Georgia by halting the Smith Lever funded extension work. He says 260 rural workers, many women, could lose pay and 150,000 dollars in state funds would vanish, forcing county fairs and programs to shut down and jeopardizing federal match. A committees report proposes mobilizing opposition to the abolition and protecting the extension service.
