llotes the steady increase cf sunflower production since 1920. 
"The use of sunflower seed in the Argentine oil industry dates from 
1924. In that year, 232 tons of seed were milled, producing 52 tons 
of oil, a yield of 19 per cent. The improvements made in this industry 
increased this yield to 25 per cent, in 1938. The oil -cake, for 
cattle feed, is exported to Germany, Denmark and the Scandinavian 
countries. The Argentine Government encourages the home production 
of oil-yielding seeds, with a view to entirely eliminating the importa- 
tion of foreign produced vegetable oils and fats... 
"The market has already benefited by the heavy demand for oil for 
industrial purposes. . . The seeds originally used, vrhich were imported 
by the Pussian settlers, have been replaced by an early pure variety 
of uniform height and good industrial value (25-27 per cent, oil is 
obtained from the seed)-"

but had not been cultivated to any appreciable extent until shortly 
before this article was written. The cultivation and composition 
of the sunfl^-er seed, and. its uses and the composition and uses of

A brief description cf varieties of sunflower, its characteristics, 
the places where it is grown, and its uses. The oil is sa.id to be 
used as a table oil in southern Russia. It is recommended for making 
soap. The oilcake is used as a fertilizer. Sunflower seeds are 
used for food in Chile and Peru. They are used also as chicken feed 
and as a flour for baking. The stalks furnish a fibre that looks
