No Pageant of Agricultural Progress in Georgia
Dr. Soule said Miss Carolyn Cobb wrote about a progress pageant for Georgia from colonial days to now but funds and time are lacking this year. He estimated possible funds next year if conditions improve, but a pageant to credit the University of Georgia is unlikely. A more modest historical pageant may be possible, suitable for the agricultural college to undertake.
