of annual license fees Of SIS each

this state. Unless the fee is re-
ceived by him from every corpo-

SUNFLOWERS A PAYING CROP
Raised BY Farmers in Southeast Mis-
souri, on as Large q Scale
~ Corn.

Kansas City. Mo.-In southeast Mis-
souri, farmers raise sunfiowers to feed
chickens. Many farmers in New
Madrid county. Missouri, are growing
suntiowers for seed on as large q
scale as they grow corn.
The seed Is high in oil and protein
and makes an excellent feed 1t is
used chiefly as feed for parrots and
as part Of the commercial poultry
feeds. The seed is purchased each
fall by general seed buyers from st.
Louis
The soils in which sunfiowers are
grown are the once swampy lands and
range from sandy loans to clays. The
average production Is about 5000 to
$4,000 pounds of seed to the acre The
usual selling price is from IN to 4
cents pound. The average return is
about $40 for each acre. Some Of the
farmers are growing the sunfowers in
place of corn.
The crop is planted about the same
as corn. In the labor required in han.
ding and cultivation, the two crops
are alike. When the crop natures, q
wagon is taken into the field and the
heads are cut off and thrown into the
wagon. The seeds are then threshed

son that they had abandoned any idea

made the argument, however. that
they were induced to take the higher
