News Note 
The Society for Economic Botany, an in- 
ternational scientific organization, invites your 
participation and welcomes your membership. 
The objective of the Society is the promotion 
and stimulation of scientific studies of plants 
useful to man. The methods of achieving this 
objective are annual meetings, technical confer- 
ences, and publication of Economic Botany, the 
official journal of the Society. 
Present members represent nearly all scientific 
disciplines: anthropology, pharmacology, geog- 
raphy, agriculture, chemistry, physics, and all 
fields of botanical science. The only prerequisite 
for membership is an interest in the study of the 
past, present, or future use of plants to man. 
Membership dues are $7.50 (U.S.) annually, 
and includes one year’s subscription to Economic 
Botany. The journal publishes monographs, re- 
view articles, and original manuscripts on all 
subjects relating to the use of plants and plant 
products. 
Inquiries and dues can be sent directly to the 
Treasurer, Richard M. Klein, The New York 
Botanical Garden, Bronx Park, New York 58,
