Sunflower Oil— lt is expected that oil to be extracted from a sunflower crop grown in the Warren (New South Wales) district will be nore valuable than the best imported Italian olive oil. Farmers in the Warren district are growing sunflower crops, in response to the appeal to raise them for seed. On one property, an acre has been sown with different varieties as a Government trial plot. This area was expected to yield six tons of seed, and a ton of seed is worth ££o. A number of farmers propose to put in 10 acres of sunflowers arid to irrigate the crops. After the qil is extracted, the residue will be used as feed.
