Amarillo Tex seed collector William B Mercer warns farmers neglect seed testing and seed handling, leading to weed infestations that outpace control and raise costs on reclamation projects. He demonstrates seed mixing to show difficulty in distinguishing crop from weed seeds. He notes careless weed control costs may exceed O&M and construction, and cites a burdock incident spreading through a farm community.

Ohio reports 62,400 acres, 6,400 more than 1935, supporting continued price stabilization as the department adjusts the 2.30 to 2.40 per cwt support range and ties eligibility to meeting allotments. County offices will set allotments before county apportionment to individual growers.
