IY COURTES Yorc.RR "For I feel just as happy as a big sunflower," was the refrain of a popular song yeers ago. At that time the sunflower's mission was to look pretty, bow its golden head to passers-by and feed the chickens with its seeds. Nowadays the sun- flower has the more important mis- sion of finishing steers for the mar- ket in Canada's prairie provinces, Alber! Saskatchewan and Mani- toba, dchiévigg a new incarnation in the form of roast beef and porter- house steak. This year Jrom three to thirty acres of sunflowers were planted and did so well in "Sunny Alberta," particularly, that more than 1,000 acres in the Cardston district alone will be devoted to this crop next year. In this section 50 acres of sunflowers yielded from 15 to 30 tons of ensilage per acre. Finishing cattle with sunflower ensilage was such a success last season that hundreds of silog were erected this year, giving great im- petus-to the growth of the dairy industry. It is anticipated that in a few years every Canadian prairie farm will have itssilo, and the Mtestock industry will be greatly enlarged In area. s Experimenters with sunflowers have found that they are superior io corn in most respects, and in feed- ing value the crop has outfed the standard crop of corn. The com- parison was made between corn, fed BY COURTE. 9 FREY Hign green, In the glazing stage, to dalry cows In the same period of lactation, and sunflower silage, and gave an in- crease of one and one-third pounds per day in fayor of the sunflower. With corn each cow lost tweaty pounds in flesh during the period of the test, but with sunflowers she only lost twelve pounds Accord- ing to G. H. Hutton, B.S. A., in address delivered before the West- ern Canada Irrigation Association in September, the sunflower not only adapts itself to irrigation but is a great dry land crop as well Sullflower silage is dpe for a more extensive trial this winter than it has had before.
