. II Is estimated that only 60 per
cent OF the food value In a corn crop
Is contained In the grain and edible
portions OF the stalk. The farmer
who is without silo deliberately
wastes the remaining 40 per cent.
A silo on dairy farm saves 80 TO

PICNIC AT VARIEN'S
ENJOYABLE AFFAIR
Many People Gather at Hos.
pitable Home on Sunday;
Fine Dinner Served.

The beautiful farm home OF Mr..
and Mrs. Dan varlen on Prather
creek was the scene OF very success-
ful and enjoyable picnic on last Sun
day. There were between $50 and 200
people there for dinner and while
some left for Burns early in tint after
noon to attend the baseball game.
others arrived later.
There was no formal program tn
spoil the day for tho neighbors who
gathered to spend tho day iu social
talk and fun. There was nm attempt
at one time TO spoil the afternoon by
talk from the county agent and tho
Newspaper man. but that catastro-
phe was avertod by Mrs. McDaniels
threatening to start all the Ford cars
to going In low gear II any further
attempt was made to get either OF
the parties to talk. That settled Il.
The variens had expected to have
as their guests the Sage Brush En-
broidory Club with their husbands
and few Invited friends. but this
was changed later by the Invitation
being extended TO the citizens OF
Burns and tho surrounding country.
Everybody who came provided some
thing toward the picnic dinner and
this proved the real feature of the
day-so .far rs the newspaper man
was concerned. II was Just like
IN the days Of childhood when a party
mont lust eats. for without Ice
cream and cake no party was ever a
success for n child. The table ca
pacity was not sufficient TO take care
OF the food provided and had to be
extended twice before the lunch tirne
arrived. The "eats" provided were

The young people enjoyed some

I'm the light OF four years exper-
ionce In growing sunfowers, Il has
beon found that the most practical
way OF planting the seed IN with the
ordinary grain drill. A sufficient
number of seed outlets should be
stopped up 10 permit OF planting only
In rows 30 to SO inches apart. The
drill should be regulated 80 that tho
seeds will be droped 10 6 inches
apart In rows. The set for this will
vary with the different drills. but
with a standard Van Brunt the desir-
ed distribution may be secured when
the drill IN set TO plant four pecks of
wheat TO the acre. Planting in this
way, rows 80 inches apart and seeds
to 8 inches apart in the row, will
require ave pounds Of seed TO the
acre on the average. Tho largest

! In Oregon and Washington some
sunnowers were grown in an exper-
mental way In 1918. The results
were such as TO stimulate interest
and In 1919 a considerable acreage
was planted for silage purposes. Tho
yields were in general way very sat
isfaetory. varying from 10 tons per
acre under dry land conditions to
80 tons per acre. In the higher al
titudes. under dry farming conditions
the average yields per acre were
greater than any other crop.
Fccding Value.
Whenever comparisons have been
made with corn siiage. the results In
dicate that ton for ton the sunfower
silage has a feeding value equal to
corn siiage.
In Wallowa county where tho av-
erage conditions are unfavorable for
corn, about 200 acres OF sunfiowers
were grown for silage In 1919. The
largest yield reported was 40 tons
per acre. the lowest. 10 tons per acre.
The average for the 200 being slight
ly over IL tons per acre. The farm
ers who fed sllage the past winter are
all enthusiastic regarding Its value.
Tho wallowa County Farm Bureau
has adopted the slogan. "one thou
sand silos on one thousand farms"
II has been estimated that the feed
Ing value OF silage the past winter
averaged $1,000 per silo.
In Dcschutes County the results
both In growing and feeding sun
flowers have been 10 satisfactory
that the Farm Bureau has inauger-
ated u strenuous and enthusiastic siio
campaign. The First National Bank
OF Bend has volunteered TO finance
any farmer who wanted TO build a
silo. They have also secured several
tons OF choice sunfower seed. which
