Show Sunday, April. 11, 1948 University Seed-Doctors Solving Sunflower Secret By C. W. WHITE NEA Special Correspondent URBAN A, 111 NEA) University Uni-versity seed-doctors and cooper ating farmers Believe they are so close to solving the unflcw- er secret" that before long you may be eating your first sinflov-er sinflov-er meal cake, and thousands of American farmers may have a new crop to harvest. Only a few development prob- lem remain to be ironed out before be-fore the production of sunflowers . for commercial 'purposes becomes a "project of national magnitude," according to Ezra Levin, Illinois seed processor who traveled to Ccnada in order to find a harvest-able harvest-able sunflower variety. Although sunflower seeds have been recognized as valuable winter win-ter feed for cattle and poultry. up to now the commercial use of the crop has never been on a large scale. ; Professors R. O. Weibel and A. L. Lang of the University of Illinois Illi-nois are leaders in the field ex periments in which nine Piatt county farmers assisted, growing approximately 100 acres of sunflowers sun-flowers last year. They did the farm-and-labora- tory job, but it took Mrs, Royene F. Owens, home economics in structor at Urbana, to demonstrate demon-strate that sunflower meal, once produced, could be made into pal atable food for humans. It had al ready been proved on livestock. "Although our work has been of a preliminary nature, we did find that dark cakes such as chocolate and spice cakes, and pancakes containing sunflower seed flour vwere very promising," Mrs. Owen says: "It might also be used in bread in small amounts." She has developed a recipe for sunflower spice cake, using 20 per cent of the flour, which is described de-scribed as "rich' and full-flavored." Cinnamon, allspice and nutmeg nut-meg are spice ingredients. 3 vitamins are the prime attraction at-traction in sunflower seed. "It is especially high in thia min, niacin and riboflavin, and if compared to pork (one of the best food sources of B vitamins), sunflower sun-flower seed meal contains ap proximately half as much thiamin, thia-min, four times as much niacin, and twice as much riboflavin," Mrs. Owens reports. From the farmer's standpoint, the chief problem seems to be harvesting the crop. As much as J00 to 1800 pounds have been grown to the acre in central Illinois. Illi-nois. But the traditional tall sunflower sun-flower plants, with heavy stalks, were too hard to harvest. The college seed-doctors turned turn-ed to experiments with dwarf varieties, va-rieties, and now, they think they have one. It's the "Advance," produced pro-duced in Canada, and while not generally available here as yet, they feel that once this seed can be obtained for general U. S. de velopment, the battle will'be won r Methods of planting and culti vating sunflowers are similar to those for corn. It can be done with the machinery used for corn. "We can definitely promise that dwarfed sunflowers, harvested by modern machinery, will produce yields of sunflower meal and oil that will be equal on an economic pasis to soybean yields in terms of value of meal and oil per acre," eed producer Levin declares.

She and her family are now camped on the prairies, after being driven from Nauvoo.) Monday. Feb. 23, 1846 Weather cloudy and cool. Received word from Nauvoo that Sister Maria Lyman is very sick. (Maria is the first wife of Eliza's husband, Apostle Amasa Lyman.) I started for Nauvoo about 2 o'clock withi Bro. Lyman, to go and see her. When we had gone about three miles, our buggy broke down and left us in the mud. Fortunately a wagon came along and took us to Montrose (Iowa, directly across the Mississippi river from Nauvoo.) Nau-voo.) The ice was running in the river, and it was impossible to cross except in a skiff. Bro. Lyman, Ly-man, with great difficulty, succeeded suc-ceeded in doing this, leaving me at Sister Daniel's to stay the night. Tuesday, 24th Bro. Lyman returned re-turned this morning, and said he found his wife more comfortable than he had expected. She has a fine son which they will call Amasa (after his father). We took dinner at Sister Daniel's, and then Bro. Lyman returned to Nauvoo to stay until tomorrow. I stayed at Sister Daniel's. . . . until Albert Tanner came and took -me back to camp.

I went with Henry Rollins and Dionitia Lyman. Ly-man. We crossed the Mississippi on the ice. Found Sister Lyman quite smart, but her son Francis Marion sick with the measles. I stayed with them all night. Saturday 28th Stayed with o'clock in the afternoon, Henry Rollins came and told us the camp (n tne prairie) had orders to move tomorrow, consequently Bro.
