Advertising billing decreased f rom $3,318 to $1,197 and lineage f rom 291/2 to 12 pages. Chemical companies continued to do the bulk of the ad- vertising, placing 7 pages of ads. Position announcements and Maine Seed Pota to ads round out the picture.

The loss of a long-time advertiser (PPG) because of a change in ad agencies continues to be felt. I have talked with the current and old agency, trying to pursuade them to do business with us. I also have been in touch with several other agencies and am hopeful that we can pick up new ac- counts.

Whereas the University of Maine at Orono contributes so extensively to the conduct of the business and editorial affairs of The Potato Association of America; and The PAA members in Maine have so well arranged the de- tails of this 68th Annual Meeting; and the University of Maine at Presque Isle has so graciously opened its doors for us; and whereas the potato industry in Maine has made us welcome; therefore, be it resolved that The Potato As- sociation of America extends its appreciation to the Local Arrangements Committee, the Administrations of the University of Maine at Orono and Presque Isle, and the Maine Potato Industry. I move the adoption of this res- olution.
