College, Manhattan, Kansas. Miss Tower had been with the department for four 

 and one-half years, and had become most efficient in its work. 



On November 21, Mr. S. J. Broderick, who entered the service of the Station in 

 January, 1923, to take the place left vacant by Mr. Swift, submitted his resigna- 

 tion, to enter into commercial work. 



On January 31, Mr. Arthur P. French, who had been investigator in Pomology 

 for a year and a half, left the Station service through transfer to the teaching force 

 of the College. 



The large number of resignations among the more poorly paid members of the 

 staff indicates that in our present salary schedule the Station is not keeping pace 

 with the growth of its men in ability and productiveness. This matter, as was 

 pointed out in a report to the president, submitted in December, 1922, is vital to 

 the welfare of the Station and the work which it represents, and should have definite 

 trustee study. 



Appointments to fill positions made vacant by resignations include that of 

 Professor William L. Doran, assistant research professor of Botany, to have charge 

 of the pathological work on fruits and vegetables in the eastern part of the State. 

 Mr. Doran is a graduate of the College in the class of 1915, and received the degree 

 of Master of Science in 1917. He comes to the service of the Station after making 

 an enviable record in his chosen science at the New Hampshire Agricultural 

 Experiment Station. 



Miss Alice J. Twible was appointed clerk in Poultry Husbandry to succeed 

 Miss Tower. 



Miss Hazel M. Parker was appointed to the position of laboratory assistant in 

 Poultry Disease Elimination left vacant by the resignation of Miss Hollis. 



Mr. John S. Bailey was appointed to fill the place made vacant by the transfer 

 of Mr. French as investigator in Pomology. 



New appointments include Mr. V. A. Tiedjens, assistant research professor of 

 Vegetable Gardening, who is assigned to the experimental work at the Market 

 Garden Field Station; Mr. John P. Jones, assistant research professor of Agronomy, 

 who is undertaking studies in connection with the tobacco industry of the Con- 

 necticut Valley; and Mr. Donald S. Lacroix, investigator, assigned to the Cran- 

 berry Station.
