The young woman managed to throw

OIL OF sUNFLOWER.
New Delicacy Receives Attention

Found On Investigation That the OIL
Of the SuaAower Il an Edible OIL
J and Makes Excellent Sab
stitute for Olive OIL.

Salad dressing from sunfiower oil
il one of the delicacies promised from
an extensive investigation of that
plant by Prof. Wiley, chief Of the di-
vision of chemistry of the department.
of agriculture. He says the oil from
sunflower seed is delicious as an ed
ible oil. and one which, nearer than
any other known vegetable oil. has
the general properties of the oil OF
the olive.
1t is palatable and makes, without
refining, q delicious salad dressing.
The residue oil cakes have high nu-
tritive value, quite equal if not supe-
rior to flaxseed anu cottonseed cakes.
Even after the extraction of the oil
by pressure it is extremely rich in
heterogeneous matter.
Prof. Wiley encourages the growth
Of sunfiowers to a much greater ex-
tent in this country than at present,
saying that in Russia, where the nu-
merous religious fasts restricting the
use of meat lead to a large consump-
ton of vegetable oils and oily foods,
the sunnower seed has become almost
a staple article of diet. 1t is eaten
raw or roasted. as peanuts are in
America. but much more extensively.
Between 1850 and 1910 sunfiower OF.
began to be manufactured on COM
mercial scale Ia the southern prov
inces of Russia. and since that time
a series of important industries based
on the production of oil and oil cake
has been developed there.
BY study of the reports received by
the numerous correspondents of the
division of statistics and chemistry
in different parts of the United States,
it is found that the sunflower grows
best for commercial purposes in Kan
sas. Missouri and the Ohio valley.
Many other parts of the country are,
however, suited to the growth of this
plant, and. as rule, the soil best
adapted to the growth of Indian corn
produces the best crop of sunfiowers.
From his large correspondence Prof.
Wiley has found that though sunflow-
ers are grown quite extensively in

most exclusively, if not entirely, con-
sumed for feeding birds and poultry,
and in some instances for medicinal
purposes or for cattle and horses.
Large quantities of seed are now inn
ported yearly to this country and by
a recent finding they are free from
duty, as they are used entirely for
feeding poultry and cattle. being
classified as flower seed.

FERTILIZER EXPERIMENTS.

Every state and territory of the un-
ion has one or more agricultural ex-
pertinent stations and the most Of
these stations make fertilizer expert
ments every year. 1t seems to be ad-
mitted that the results OF any one
years experiments can not he taken
as conclusive; but, that the average
results of \ number of years work
must be taken as 4 guide Of practical
value.
That an accurate comparison may
be made, these averaged results must
all be made under the same general
conditions SO far as possible, which
means the same fertilizer combina-
tons each year on the same soil.
Fertilizer experiments are designed
to show the most profitable proper

At Rothamsted, England, and at
Southern Pines, n. C., a series of ex-
periments are being carried on, which
include almost every possible condi'
ton. These experiments are conduct
ed on a practical basis, and the re-
suits are designed to fit practical con-
ditions, that the working farmer may
be able 10 adjust his fertilizers eco
nomically.
The Rothamsted experiments are to
well known to require further notice
here, but the Southern Pines expert
ment farms are not so old. This farm
was established by the North Caro-
lima State horticultural society, and
is located in North Carolina, about
fifty miles southwest from Raleigh, in
the light soil of the long-leaf pine
section.
The farm il in two sections -vegeta-
bic and fruit-each of which is divid-
ed into uniform plots. These plots re-
ceive precisely the same fertilizer
each year, and each variety Of fruit or
vegetable is subject to the full plan

pronounced it incurable. Science has proven
