Dispersal of seeds is by wind,

This family seems to be general
lied and virogous campaign for
spreading is carried on by most
species.
Pollenation is by insects and
by wind. The latter is one of the
reasons why ragweeds cause man
so much discomfort during the
many months of the Towering
season. This weed is our chief
cause of hay fever.

Composite Weeds


family of Towering plants, the
composite, has the greatest num-
ber of weeds to trouble man in
his practice of agriculture and
horticulture. 1t is during the late
summer and fall that the COM
posit plants are most prominent.
What Are The Composites
The Compositae, or Composite
family of plants, is one of the
easiest of the families to dis
tinguish. 1t has certain character
istics which set it apart from all
of the other $50 families of plants
that bear flowers. Each family
differs more or less from each
other family in several respects.
Usually there is one or two char
acteristics which easily distin-
guish a given family from its
nearly related families.
The distinguishing feature of
,.he composite family is the type
of infloresence, or its manner of
bearing flowers. This family new
er bears it's flowers singly. There
are a group Of them in a head.
They are arranged usually in cir
cularF form on a somewhat flat
tened disc. Around the disc is a
group of leaf-like bracts which
make up the involucre. Usually
the outermost ring of flowers
form the ray flowers. These are
frequently mis-called petals.
They are usually brightly col
ored. In the center is the large
mass of less colorful disc flowers.
A well-known group of this
family which easily illustrates
the characteristics are the sun
flowers. The bright outer ring of
yellow ray flowers could easily
be mistaken for petals if not ac-
curately observed. On close ex-
animation one can see that the
petals are fused and that other
floral parts are present. The disc
flowers usually show the five
petals separate and surrounding
the other floral parts.
What Is a Weed?
There are many definitions of
weed in use. A popular book on
weeds quotes this as acceptable:
<'any plant which grows where
not wanted" Webster's New Col
legiate Dictionary gives this def
inition ANY plant growing in
cultivated ground to the detri-
ment of the place; an economic
ally useless or unsightly plant,
est. Of wild growth"
It is interesting to note that
in the process of cultivating our
crop and ornamental plants, we
have many undesirable plants
which seem to be able to take
advantage of the situation better
than the plants we cultivate.
These are weeds.
BY our first definition a corn
plant among the roses is a weed
and rose growing in the corn
field is a weed. Botanists are in
clined toward this Interpretation
of the term. Just because a plant
is wild is not justification for
calling it a weed. The word is
commonly used to apply to nox-
ious plants, regardless of size,
manner of growth, or habitat.
Foresters, in managing tree
farms and forests, try to elimin-
ate weed trees. These are the
trees that are not only of little or
no value, but are in the way OF
and take space, sunshine, water
and minerals, needed by valuable
trees.
Composite Weeds
There are about $4,000 plants |
in the Composite family. The
plants are of many types so far |
as manner of growth is concern
ed. Some are ANIMALS, some are
biennials, some are perennials. |
Forms are varied. Some are tall
and slender, some are spreading,

in the fact that the three Negro
members of Congress, Dawson of
Illinois, Powell of New York, and
Diggs of Michigan, have won re-
election by substantial majorities
over their Republican opponents.
In spite of Republican jubila-
ton over the winning of the gov
ernorship of New York, where the
incumbent Democratic Governor
Hartman was beaten in a close
race by Nelson Rockefeller, in what
was billed as the contest of mill
lionaires, the loss of the New York
governorship is seen as more than
offset by the sweeping Democratic
victory in California, state that
is becoming increasingly powerful
and important in its influence on
national elections.
A significant fact that is being
pointed to in the overwhelming
support given the Democratic can
didates by Negro voters is the fall
ure of the Republicans to capitalize
on the Civil R yhts issue, and Fres-
ident Eisenhower's sending federal
troops to Little Rock to enforce the
school Indignation decisions.

Nigeria: independence And Unity

Nigerian independence can be welcomed both by
people who hail any freedoms sometimes lndls-
criminatey-and those who deplore the tendency of
the natonaism to fragmentize free world society,"
Not only Nigeria to remain big country, with more
than 100000 people, it is also to remain part of the
British-led Commonwealth of Nations In fact the eff
forts to give status have tended to close cracks
which had already developed within Nigeria. The country
had three regional premers but will now work toward
increased internal unity.
This development advanced largely in confer
among Ngerian leaders in London. 1t recalls the
Brtshaided of scattered West Indian islands
in forming federation which now has membership
free nation in the Commonwealth
The date for Nigerian independence is set for O.
tober 1860 just SO years after the establishment of
Lagos Colony Legislative Council Long ago British
colonial experts predicted that the democratic govern
ment by which white people in Africa governed them
selves would become example for Africans and would
in time lead them to demand self government This has
happened regardless of the relative merits of European
administration in different regions.
In recent years West Africans have been thinking
not simply of independence for each country but of
structing vast federation There has existed certain
rivalry between the political groups that brought indie
pendence to the Gold Coast Ghana, and Ngerians
Having obtained it's status of selfrule before Nigeria
Ghana has made bid to lead the West African fedora
ton movement, though with population only sixth
of Nigera's.
In this federation idea and in the of British
and African negotiations to preserve Commonwealth ties
sefgovernment is advancing at relatively small i'm
mediate cost to international unity and security and
with a promise of increased political stability in the
