Their opinions are basod upon the experience of fourteen of their own number, who under the direction of the Wallowa County Farm Bureau last year rain ed, sunflowers for ensilage, which wan fed to rango cattlo, sheep and dairy stock, Tho results showed that sun flower ensilage was an economical feed. The farmers stated themselves that two tonn of ensilage replaced a ton 'of hay and that because of the largo yields which could bo ralsod tho sunflowers wero going a long way to ward solving tholr winter feed prob lem and also reduce the cost of live stock production.
