Topeka, Kan, July 3O.-When Foster
Dwight Ooburn declined appointment as
United States senator from Kansas, two
stories were told in explanation Of his
surprising modesty. Both, his friends
say, were incorrect. -.
The real reason, according to the
same authorities, for Mr.. Coburn' g re-
fusal to accept the toga was his un'
willingness to desert sunf1oWer crop
in which he is far more deeply inter
ested than in 1awmaking. ..>
It seems Mr.. Coburn has been expert
menting with sunfowers for a long time.
Kansans have never been able to find
use for them hitherto. Mr.. Coburn
has an idea that the sunfower is use
full; that the seeds should be market
able, and that it is cup to him. to
ascertain to what use they can be put.
In the winter he will ask the two
Kansas agricultural experiment stations
to take UP sunfower culture to deter
mine the best varieties Of the flower,
the proper method Of cultivation to OBJ
tain the best results, the use for which
the seeds are suitable and the easiest
way to put them on the market.
