Excerpt from Weeds: Simple Lessons for Children
HE question of weeds, and how they can be kept in check, is one of the most important which has to be faced by the farmer or gardener. Agriculture is an eternal war against weeds, and by neglect of cleaning his land, the careless cultivator may lose one-fourth or in extreme cases even one-half of the yield which might be his. The preaching of the crusade against weeds cannot be begun too early. In order to fight weeds, we must know how they grow and how they spread; to these points particular attention is given in the follow ing chapters.
Apart from their importance as agricultural pests, weeds are, as such, a fascinating study. The 'history of weeds is the history of agriculture. Ever since the peoples of the Stone Age first began to till the ground, weeds and crops have gone hand in hand; and man's migratory movements, his wars, and later on his trade, have all played their part in assisting the spread of his enemies the weeds.
