To allow ARS to take necessary measures to study various methods of control of destructive and noxious weeds which are injurious to the cooperator's land for the purpose of developing more effective methods for economically controlling such weeds. B. ARS AGREES: 1. To be responsible for: Furnishing one or mor~ species of biological weed controlling agents and such additional supplies, equipment, material, and personnel as may be required to conduct research. All supplies, equipment, and material remain the property of the ARS.
