Jefferson City, Millions of
pounds of sunfower seed are allowed
to go to waste in Missouri annually.
simply because it is not generally
known that they can be used for food
for man, as we'll as animals, and there
fore have a commercial value" says
the 1910 Red Book Of the bureau of
labor and statistics. Figures made
public by Labor Commissioner j. C. A.
Hitler show that in the year 1909
about 10000 pounds of the seeds were
sent to market by Missouri's ia coun-
ties and that about $4,000 was real
lied by the sale of the same
While originally native of tropi-
cal America the sunfower is now
found growing more or less wild in all
cultlvable portions of the world, and
especially in south and central Eu-
rope, seeds having been carried there
from America and planted by several
sixteenth century rovers, who took
d fancy to the large flower, both for
its peculiar wild beauty and that it
had food value" reads the Red
Book chapter on this interesting
subject.
In Russia the sunfower seed is
prepared and eaten just like A12eri-
cans do peanuts. The poorer classes
often eat the seeds raw, the only draw
back to this style of turning them into
palatable article being the diff
Guilty of easily separating the kernel
from the hull.
In Missouri the sunf1oWer is found
everywhere, growing in vacant city
lots and amid rubbish as we'll as in
the rich lands Of the southeastern
section Of the state and in the foot
hills Of the Ozarks. Goats thrive an
the plant, eating from the seeds and
petals down to the coarse rough stalks
and the roots. The seed is often used,
mixed with other seed, as feed for
poultry and parrots especially enjoy
the menu, forming a food which was
mainstay for them in tropical re-
giOns.

London.-When King George came
to preside at Marlborough house his
majesty Immediately gave his atten-
ton to systematizing the keeping Of
the numerous accounts of the royal
establishment. A clerical department
was formed, consisting of three
clerks, under the control of the treas
urer, Sir William Darlington; dOckets
for goods bought for the kitchens,
storekeepers' and buffers depart
ments had to be made out by the
head of each department, who was re-

sent up to the clerks office.
A docket gave all particulars of the
article bought and the name of the
tradesman who supplied it and it's

Rochester, Minnesota. Senator
Robert NJ La Toilette was released
from ST. Mary's hospital and is now
at the Kahler, where he will remain

CURED An acre of sunfiOWers will
yield several cords of wood fuel with
out considering the value Of the
seed 1t is estimated that SO BUSH
els OF seed can be grown on an acre
Of ground A bushel of seed yields
gallon of oil. Figuring that the oil
is as valuable as the cOtton-seed va
riety. which in 1909 averaged about
40 cents, one acre Of sunhOwer seed
will produce oil forth $40, which
means that the farmers share will be
about S12 and the manufacturers the
remainder, out of which sums both
would of course meet all their ex-
penses.
"As sunf1owers can easily be grown
in corners and in lands of little use
for anything else, it. would pay to
produce more. The oil can be used
like cotton-seed oil, in the manufac-
ture of oleomargarine and several 9TH
er cooking preparations.
THE sunf1ower is freely used for
many purposes in China. The fiber
of the stalk, which has great strength,
is woven into fabrics, some of which
when properly colored and prepared
have a silky feel and appearance.
Such use could also be made of the
fiber here.
In tropical America the plant at
tains a height of 20 feet and has a
flower over a foot ir diameter. In
Missouri it grows sometimes to ten
feet, with flowers in proportion. The
future will develop other uses for the
sunfower.'
