A brief summary of trends in vegetable oil production in Argentina, 
showing particularly large increases in cottonseed and sunflower

Administration cof . Bulgarian was required to purcho.se sunflower 
seed of the 1936 crop at the price of 3 leva per kg... Later in

flower seed, the law of 1936 was annulled, and trade in this product 
was freed from restrictions."

rJotes the long continued commercial importance of sunflower- seed 
oil in Russia, Hungary, India and China. "In Russia it is used 
for culinary purposes, as a salad oil, and in making butter substi- 
tutes, soaps and Russian varnishes. It is stated that in 1911 more 
than 500 mills in the Caucasus were engaged in pressing sunflower 
seed and that some of the oil was exported to English refineries. 
It is reported that this oil is used in the manufacture of the ex- 
cellent Holland enamels." 
Decline in production in the United States is noted due to un- 
satisfactory prices for the oil. 
"Sunflower* seed contains from 27 to 30$ of oil. The hulls con- 
stitute from 46 to 49$ of the seeds, so that by removing the hulls 
prior to pressing, a material very rich in oil is obtained. The 
press cake is a valuable stock feed, and lias been used for many 
years in Europe." Tables give the chemical composition of sun- 
flower-seed oil.
