8 THE MORNING ASTORIAN, ASTORIA, OREGON. FRIDAY, JUNE 8, 1900. THE BIG SUNFLOWER THIS VALUABLE PLANT HAS GREAT ECONOMIC VALUE. THE MORNING ASTORIAN All It Part, Prom Stalk ta Hr4, May Ba Made a Soap af Reveaaa ta CalllTatora It la LiaUr Oar national Flower. The sunflower might be most ap propriate choice for the national flower of our country, since it originated here In the regions of the great plains. Specimens of It were taken to Europe by the early Spanish explorers, and It was first cultivated In the old world tn the gardens of Madrid. The plant was utilised by the American Indiana long before the days of Columbus. Ubamplaln, when he visited Georgian bay In 1615, found the aborigines there growing It and using the oil made from tbe seeds on their hair. It was raised chiefly for the sake of the food which Its seeds supplied. To so high a polut bad It been developed by tbe natives on this continent that during the three and a half centuries which have elapsed since Its adoption by the white men it has not been Improved to any extent merely retaining the original slse which distinguished It from Its wild original. , In Russia the plant is of great eco nomic importance, its seeds being eaten In Immense quantities, raw or roasted, Just as we eat peanuts. The oil ob tained by pressing the seeds Is also widely used as an article of diet. The stalks and oil cakes make excellent fod der, the leaves are employed as a sub stitute for tobacco, and the fiber of the stalks has a high value. Tbe oil of the sunflower Is widely employed in Hus si a, where the frequent religious feasts I BRANCH MANAGERS WANTED; $20 The supplying of any want that may arise in domestic or commercial life may be readily and quickly accomplished at a nominal cost by the publication of the want in the " Want Ad." columns of the Morning Astorian.

There are three principal varieties cultivated in the czar's territory one with large white seeds, which are said to yield tbe most oil; one with smaller black seeds, which are sweeter and considered the best for eating, and an intermediate form with striped seeds, used both for eating and the production of oil.
