One of the important steps in the maturing of a field of science is the establishment of a journal devoted to that field. A centralized means of publication is almost a necessity if a given branch of knowledge is to progress. “Weeds” is an attempt to fulfill that requirement for the science and art of weed control. If need is a measure of probable success, the success of “Weeds” is assured. Weed control literature has been published in every kind of journal — agronomic, horticultural, engineering, chemical, botanical, — and farm papers of all types, to make only a beginning.
