NO SHORT COURSE AT l.. $. I

Owing to the more pressing war
necessities, the shortage of farm
labor, and the training Of troops at
most of the State colleges. the Sixth
Annual Short Course, which was to
be held at the University this sum-
mer for the Agricultural Club Men,
bers has been postponed for the fol-
lowing reasons:
First-The University has made
arrangements with the National Gov
ernment to give practical training to
enlisted soldiers during the summer
months. These men will use all
available space at the University.
Second-The increased cost in
railroad rates makes travelling ex-
penses exceedingly high.
Third-The bankers and business
men who heretofore have furnished
funds to defray the expenses of the
club members have been heavily tax
ed on account of the great war in
which we are now engaged.
