442. There is a matter of judgment of the extent of our treatment. We can cover more area than essential and thereby. defeat our program of economy. There is also the. possibility of misuse of materials, for example not long ago it was found that 2, 4, 5-T was being used for control of weeds susceptibl,e to 2-4D. All the preceding are considerations that enter into the development of a program of effective use of herbicides to assure efficient control while obviating damage to plants that should be preserved and eliminating claims which are not only costly in themselves but possibly even more costly in their nuisance value. It takes time to sell a herbicide program. There is the natural reluctance of adminis trators to adopt a tool which has not to their knowledge and in their own experience been proven. There is the problem of justifying what seems like an additional expense to the officials responsible for disbursement of funds. Within the organization of any agency at~empting herbicide work there must be personnel wi th the nece saar-y knowledge, competence and time to direct that work. There must be planning not only of daily operation but of yearly programming. There must be a definite assignment of responsibility and ~uthority. There must be adequate supervision by competent personnel. Actual work must be done by trained personnel. There should be an unbiased appraisal of results not only of the·current year's work but of previous work. There should be evaluation of the results with consideration at the same time of costs preferably with oomparisons being made more than state wide. To provide information of the present policies of the Northeastern states highway departments we requested the offioial responsible for the herbicide program in each of the states to provide us a statement of the policy of his department. The information obtained was assembled in tabular form and sent to each of the offioials requesting correction of errors or .amiss .. ions. The final tabulation is appended. Under the heading of "Regulation" is given tho governing polioies set up at a high level as distinot from the practices recommended at lower levels. For those of us who have followed the development of tho use of herbicides by the highway departments it is interesting to note that most of these departments now he,va a broad program and that the volume of work has been increased significantly. In the ~uthor~t opinion thore are two observations of particular interest. The first is that there is a relatively small amount of regulation at a higher level. The other observation is that it would seem that as a program develops more regulation at a higher level is to be expected.
