Your Weeds and Your Neighbor's. C.F. Millspaugh. (Bull. 
W. Va. Agric. Exper. Sta.) 
Dr. Millspaugh, as botanist of the West Virginia Experiment 
Station, has made a thorough study of the weeds of his State, 
the results of which have appeared in a series of bulletins under 
the above title. Part II deals with the distribution of weeds, 
their bad points, uses for fodder, and chemical weed extermina- 
tors. Part III is a descriptive list of the weeds of West Virginia 
grouped in their natural orders. An even two hundred are 
enumerated, which are classified as follows: 
Ist Class. 2d Class. 3d Class. TOTAL. 
Worst. Bad. Indifferent. 
Perennial, é 42 45 38 125 
Biennial, . tase i 6 I 20 
Annual, 27 17 II 55 
Total, 82 68 50 200 
_ With many of the worst species a small engraving is given, 
showing the plant or a portion of it, and usually a characteristic 
part more magnified. 
A list of the diseases for which the weeds—referred to by 
number—are used is given. There is likewise an extended list 
of the common names of weeds. 
The farmers and the crop growers of West Virginia are fortu- 
nate in having such a thorough work upon their weeds placed 
within easy reach of all. B. D. H.
