Extract

Before discussing the subject of “Trends in Teaching Weed Control”, let us consider the agricultural situation for a momentl According to agricultural statistics there is a trend towards larger farms. These can be operated most efficiently only by making economical use of equipment. It can also be said that farming is a business. Those operating farms are conscious of costs. Therefore, any weed control program that might be adopted would be favored principally because of its economic value. Farming is also becoming more scientific as we are now living in a scientific age. As farming becomes more scientific, those persons operating farms must have the ability to make use of new developments regardless of their own scientific tendencies.
