4 a EXPERIMENT STATION. [Jan. 



Miss Ellen L. Welch, clerk in the Department of Botany, 

 resigned Nov. 5, 1920, her position being taken by Miss Gladys 

 I. Miner. 



Changes in Departmental Organization. 



"With the development of larger bodies of knowledge in tech- 

 nical agricultnral subjects has come increasing specialization. 

 This has rendered necessary certain changes in organization in 

 order that the work of the Experiment Station might conform 

 to the departmental organization of the College. During the 

 year just past the trustees approved the following changes, to 

 become effective Dec. 1, 1920: — 



Department of Horticulture, first recognized as an Experi- 

 ment Station department in 1888, when the Hatch Experiment 

 Station was organized, to be discontinued. 



In place of the Department of Horticulture the following 

 departments to be organized : — 



Department of Pomology, with Prof. Fred C. Sears, head. 



Department of Horticultural Manufactures, under the leader- 

 ship of Prof. Walter W. Chenoweth. 



Department of Market Gardening, and Market-Garden Field 

 Station, under the leadership of Prof. H. F. Tompson. 



The above changes in organization indicate no change in 

 scope of work. 



Publications of the Year. 



The sole avenue through which the Experiment Station work 

 can be taken at once to the people of the State lies in the 

 publication of pamphlets and bulletins. Below is presented 

 a list showing the publications of the year. Unfortunately, 

 approi)riations for publications were so small as to make it 

 impossible to complete publication of all manuscripts which 

 have been submitted. It is hoped that a larger sum will be 

 available for the coming year.
