Call for Papers...

The 1985 Joint Regional Meeting of the Northeastern Section ASAS, the Northeastern Branch ADSA, and the Northeast Branch of the American Society of Agronomy will be held at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, July 14 -17 .

appropriate abstract form. The original and four copies of each abstract must be received by March 1, 1985. Send all abstracts to C. G. Schwab, Ritzman Laboratory, University of New Hampshire, Durham, NH 03824.

Research Proposals Solicited...

The Wisconsin Milk Marketing Board, Inc. (WMMB), a dairy farmer-funded nonprofi t organization, is currently soliciting research proposals for 1985 to 1986. The WMMB is interested in research in product and process development, human nutrition, and marketing/ economics as it pertains to milk and dairy products.

The exact budget is yet to be determined, but the dollars available will be in excess of $1 million.

Proposals for research projects are due to WMMB by March 15, 1985. Funding would be available on or around July 1, 1985, for pro- posals that are approved by the WMMB Board of Directors.

To be considered, proposals must be sub- mit ted on WMMB application forms. These forms, along with guidelines for research project funding and a listing of WMMB priori ty areas for 1985 to 1986, are available from WMMB. Interested investigators should write or call: Nancy J. Sprecher, Manager of Research and Program Evaluation, Wisconsin Milk Marketing Board, Inc., 4337 W. Beltline High- way, Madison, WI 53705 (608/271-1021).

Positions Available...

Due to the increased cost o f publishing the Journal of Dairy Science and upon recom- mendation by the ADSA Journal Management Committee, the ADSA Executive Committee approved the following rate for position an- nouncements effective with the January 1985 issue of the Journal of Dairy Science.

Position announcement rates, one column wide, will be $50 for the first two inches and $25 each additional inch or fraction thereof.
