mentioned all the possibilities. 
The U. S. Bureau of Standards Washington, 
D. C. have demonstrated in Doth a labratory and 
on a commercial scale the possibility of making 
levulose sugar from these tubers and the Iowa 
Agricultural College, Ames, la., made over a ton 
of this valuable sugar one year from tubers 
grown from seed furnished by us, levulose sugar 
is fifth per cent sweeter than sucrose (cane) 
sugar. 
When farmers raise GIRASOL for silage 
and hogs, learn its good qualities and raise a sur¬ 
plus so carload lots can be secured by the sugar 
factories, these factories can have a spring run 
as well as a fall and winter season for sugar 
production. 
On account of the high tuber yields there 
are great possibilities of making alcohol for 
mechanical purposes from GIRASOL. 
Write for information to Carnegie Institute, 
Washingtcn, D. C., and mention the scientific 
name Helianthus Tuberosus, for information on 
the use of these tubers as a regular diet for dia¬ 
betics.
