Western Weed Control Conference minutes from the 1940s
Slade Franklin, Wyoming Department of Agriculture Weed and Pest Coordinator, loaned these archival minutes to Dr. Delena Norris-Tull. The original minutes were print documents from the 1940s. Dr. Norris-Tull transcribed and summarized the minutes and added some commentary. These minutes provide an important historical look at the early days of noxious weed management in the Western States. It is particularly useful to examine these three years, as representing a year prior to the USA's entry into World War II, the final year of the war, and one year after the war, when petrochemicals were newly available as a result of chemical research during the war. I have included sections from the minutes within the section, The Historical Record.
