WEED SEEDS IN FEEDING STUEES. 



The oil meals and gluten feeds, the analyses of which precede, 

 have never been found to contain weed seeds of any amount. 

 The analyses of the feeding stuffs which are more or less likely 

 to carry weed seeds, follow. In most cases the official samples 

 have been tested for weed seeds, but rarely have the samples 

 \^hich have been sent in by correspondents been so tested. In 

 case the feeds have not been tested, the fact is indicated by ** 

 referring to the foot note. In no case was there an exact 

 quantitative analysis made, but a general estimate of the num- 

 ber of the seeds were formed by the analyst. In no case were 

 the weed seeds tested for vitality. 



In the winter of 1908 quite an extended investigation was 

 m.ade relative to weed seeds in feeding stuffs in Maine. These 

 results were published at considerable length in bulletin 156. 

 It is not purposed to discuss only in a very general way, the 

 matter of weed seeds in the present report. 



On pages 69 and 70 is a list of the feeds found to contain 

 whole weed seeds and the kinds of seeds identified.
