Extract

President Hay, distinguished officers of the Society, and learned colleagues. Let me express my deep appreciation for the honor you confer on me.

It was my good fortune to begin a career in weed control at the point of transition between the modern chemical era and what I have chosen to call the cultural-mechanical era of weed control, which just preceded it. It was, therefore, my privilege to have known and worked with some of the handful of scientists who laid the foundation of weed science. Some are yet with us, but most have passed on to a greater glory.
