tion affairs and because of University financing, has been able to function 

 co-operatively in helping on occasion with Station projects. He will 

 doubtless continue with advice and direction even though no Station funds 

 are allocated for his salary next year. 



William W. Smith returned from the Armed Forces in June, 1944. 

 He has been re-assigned as Research Assistant in Horticulture. Russell 

 Eggert, formerly part-time Assistant in Horticulture, was assigned for full 

 time to the department for the year. 



Poultry laboratory service work has been somewhat discouraging and 

 difficult to administer, due to necessary changes among laboratory techni- 

 cians and assistants. Miss Harriet L. Goodwin and Miss Madeline Papa- 

 christos both resigned. We were able to get the services of Donald A. 

 Cross as an assistant technician in the laboratory before Mr. Cross had 

 had experience. Miss Arline A. Nichols and Miss Ruth Rinta are also 

 new people in the work. Henry E. Parker resigned as R. O. P. Supervi- 

 sor, February 29, 1944, and his place has not been filled except as other 

 members of the department have assumed some minimum part of the du- 

 ties to keep this service alive. 



Miss Elizabeth E. Mehaffey resigned as Mailing Clerk on February 29, 

 1944. This position was assigned to Miss Theresa R. Batchelder on June 

 12, 1944. No fewer than seven stenographers have been replaced during 

 the year, and some of them more than once. Many good reasons for re- 

 signing, such as enlisting in the women's auxiliary services, marriage, war 

 industries, etc., have sadly depleted our University clerical staff, and re- 

 placements of equal calibre and experience are most difficult to find.
