Extract

The basis for a sound weed control program is the ability of the majority of the people to identify weed plants and seeds. Too often a patch of weeds becomes a menace to the community before the seriousness of it is realized. Lack of interest in identification led to the investigation of methods, aids and techniques that could be employed to reach and teach people, both adults and youth, to identify weed plants and seeds. The approach was through weed plant identification mounts, weed seed identification boards and through the use of slides. Also utilized were tours, field trips, botany schools, etc. Emphasis will be placed on aids that have been constructed for general use for indoor meetings. It should be stressed at the outset that there is no best way, one needs to utilize every method at his command.
