Sunflowers Save Life
THE sunaower is cultivated to a

THE sunfower is cultivated to
considerable extent in central
Russia, where every part Of the
plant is put to certain economic uses.
The discovery of the extreme light.
ness Of the pith of the stalk has es-
sentially increased the commercial
value of the plant. This light cellu.
lar substance is now carefully re-
moved from the stalk and applied to
. good many important uses. One
Of its chief uses is the making OF
life-saving appliances.
Cork with buoyancy OF one to
ave, and RENDERS hair with one to
ten, has been used; the plth Of the
sunflower has buoyancy CT one to
thirty-five. The latter can be used
advantageously in the construction
Of boats and life-preservers. A suf-
hcient quantity can be worn on a
person without any Inconvenience.
The pith Of the larger suntiower
stalks is used extensively as a sub
stitute for other materials formerly
employed in making moxas for eau.
terizing purposes.
