10 THE POOR SUNFLOWER.

Many 4 time at this period OF the
year the Eagle, and in fact every man
and woman in Kansas, is struck with
a particular question about sunfiowers.
There are jung1es, acres, fields and
townships of these tall stalks capped
with yellow flowers, and the question
that occurs is whether careful and
provident Nature really intended to
produce all that apparently useless and
superfuous vegetation in vain.
But the sunfiower is not in vain ex-
cept in the west. Here they grow
wild and uncultured, and instead of
being benft are voted a plague. In
China and Russia the sunflower is con-
sidered a valuable plant, and it is
raised for its seeds at the rate of nearly
half million pounds annually. The
poor farmers of Italy and India like
wise attach great Importance to the
plant, and the seeds are harvested for
animal food and for poultry.
The sunflower has long been raised
in this country for ornamental pur-
poses, but with the exception Of few
poultry-raiserS who fatten their fowls
on the seeds no one takes the trouble
to utilize either stalks or seeds. Never
theless, there are very few plants that
yield more useful articles of commerce
than the sunfiowerS. Their value is
already being appreciated by scien-
fists, and more general cultivation
of the plants is recommended. In
their wild state the sunflowers are
smaller than when properly cultivat-
ed, but very little attention is required
to give them n splendid growth. Soil
that will produce any other farm crop
will yield a heavy supply Of sunfiow-
erS.
One of the most important uses for
the sunfiower seeds is as food for poul-
try and cattle. II has long been valued
by progressive farmers as an excellent
and cheap food for fowls. Nothing
makes them fatten quicker. and they
will frequently leave all other food for
them. The seeds make the hens lay
better. and greatly increase their
weight. They can be raised cheaper
than corn. and give better results. As
food for cattle experiments are now
in progress at several OF the expert
ment stations, and the results SO far
obtained are very satisfactory. In
Canada sunaower seeds have been fed
more generally TO cattle than in this
country, and prove 10 be cheaper and
just as effective as more expensive
grains In Denmark remarkable sue
cess has been obtained in mixing sun
flower seeds with barley and oats for
cattle. Nearly all farm animals enjoy
the seeds. and eat them freely. especi-
ally when mixed with grains. The
food has no deleterious effect upon the
flavor or quality OF the milk, but rather
increases its flow.
Suntiower oil made from the seeds is
in great demand in this country. In
Russia millions OF pounds OF the seeds
are raised annually for the oil. and
. large quantities Of this oil are exported
from thar country. In the crude state
il is used by painters for inside work.

THE NEW WOMAN'S CONGRESS.

They have been holding a new wo-
mans congress out in San Francisco.
1t is quite certain that the new woman
is just now very much in evidence.
Even our own Laura NJ. Johns of
Salina, has just put in bill to the
National Woman's association for 1920
for conducting last years campaign
for the redemption of Kansas women.
Whether the world viii get tired of
the new woman racket dependes. The
new woman in the San Francisco con-
yention seemed very much cast down
with the proposition that the hat she
wore belonged to her husband. that
the baby she bore belonged to the same
brute, and by the claim that woman
owned nothing under heaven. not even
her own body. The suggestion by
someone that woman under the laws
of most OF the states had the same
right 10 the children that the father
had, and that the father and husband
was bound 10 support both mother and
children. didn't pacify the members of
that convention. The call for the con-
vention set out that the business in
hand would be the consideration of
the significance OF the word or name
home The subsequent proceedings
showed no interest in material adorn-
mentS, or in such subjects as house
keeping, cookery. government and
comfort Of children and the like. nor
even in the baby question. II was
the home as a prison. as a work
shop of barred windows against which
angels" were beating all the feathers
out Of their wings that was talked
about and attracted attention.
With these dear oppressed and out
ragged women we often wonder why
man was not left out OF this worlds
sorry scheme of things entire. but
again comes the memory Of the fact
or such annoying things in the econ
oiny OF nature as bedbugs and mos
quitos. chiggers and rattlesnakeS. II
it were not for these unaccoun table
things In connection with man. wo-
men might not have proved the sweet
tempered, wise, unsel1iSh and consider
ate angel that she is.

KANSAS BIMETALLISM.

Some time since a meeting was held
at Topeka, and state Republican Sill
yer League was organized, and an ad-
dress or platform issued, which was
largely from the pen Of Chief Justice
David Martin Of the supreme court,
which the Eagle published in full. The
league now sends out a circular of full
instructions for organizing county
leagues to the end Of controlling the
next state convention, and for sending
silver Republican delegates to the ma
tional convention next year. Presl-
dent Coney announces that the move
ment is meeting with the most en-
thusiastic encouragement and that be-
fore snow flies they hope to have two
thirds of the counties Of the state Of
Kansas thoroughly organized for reso-
lutte action. Bimetallism and pr6tec-
ton 60 together and they mean pros
perity. There is no other hope for the
industrial interests of America. Sec
retay Hornaday writes:
''Since the dark days of 1861 there
never has been such an appeal to the
patriotism of this nation as is pre-
scented by the conditions now prevail
ing in the United States. The efforts
of England for a century to force this
country and people into submission
now promise to be successful through
the apostaSy and base intrigue of our
public servants.
'Shall this effort Of England sue
coed, or shall the Republican party add
to its brilliant record another battle
fought and won for the people of this
country"
He farther says that his Office has
advices to the effect that q fair and
honest expression would show that, at
least. fOur-fifths of the rank and file
of the party is against the single gold
standard. 1t is, therefore, of para
mount Importance that this large ele-
ment of the Republican party should
Immediately organize and get into
closer relationship. The gold mono
metalliStS are turning every stone.
There must be no under estimating
this contest. No delegate should be
allowed to go to any convention, cOun-
~, district, state or national, who is
not uncompromising in his demands
for bimetallism.'
The Eagle publishes the organization
circular in full in another column.
