APPENDIX L 



A TABLE OF COMMON FARM WEEDS 1 



By reading from left to right the table gives the following facts about weeds : the 

 common name; technical name; region where most injurious; the time of seeding ; the 

 place on the farm where the weeds grow and the crops injured by them ; and the methods 

 of eradication. Alternate cultivation as a means of eradication means cultivation during 

 the dry season, and a heavy seeding for the growing season to an annual crop, such as 

 crimson clover, cowpeas, millet, or oats, so that the weeds will be smothered.
