The present market outlet is a United one and may easily be glutted." 
Information is given on growing, harvesting and threshing the crop, 
on insect pests, and on storage and marketing. 
"Providing the seed is dry when threshed, it will keep indefinitely 
when warehoused. . . Since the market outlet is limited the price 
received per pound often fluctuates violently. The price tc the 
grower within the past 10 years has ranged between 1 1/2 and If cents 
per pound. During this period, the grower probably has received an 
average of 3 cents per pound. Following the disastrous season of 
1920 the growers of sunflower seed in Southeast Missouri, through 
their commodity organization, secured a tariff of 2 cents per pound 
en foreign seed. Since this became effective, the market has risen 
about 2 cents per pound." ■ •

Sunflowers are said to be a valuable silage crop in many sections 
of Idaho. "At Moscow sunflowers have yielded 72 per cent more 
silage than corn. Under Sandpcint conditions sunflowers have out-

show that they are nearly equal in feeding value... Sunflowers are
