Explanation of Table on Pages 27 and 28. 

 The object of this table is to show the weed seeds that are 

 common to different kinds of grass and clover seeds. For 

 instance the first kind of seed named in the table is Red Clover. 

 It will be noted from the first line of the table that 142 samples 

 of Red Clover were examined. Following down the column 

 will show the kinds of weed seeds that were found in these 

 samples of Red Clover. It will be noted that Black medick, 

 Birds foot trefoil, Dock, Goosefoot, Head-all, Rugel's plantain, 

 and Sheep sorrell are quite commonly found in Red Clover ; 

 that a third of the samples contained Wild carrot; half of the 

 samples had Green foxtail ; and two-thirds of the samples con- 

 tained Ribgrass. In like manner it will be found that five 

 finger is a very common weed seed in Timothy. There were 

 55 samples of Red Top examined and the table will show that 

 Yarrow was present in 55 samples. That is all of the Red Top 

 examined contained more or less of Yarrow as a weed seed.
