Plastic Covers Increase Use Of Horizontal, Trench Silos Plastic covers may be the means of making low-cost, time and la bor-saving horizontal silos more popular than ever among the Na tion’s dairy farmers, the U S. De partment of Agriculture said to day Studies have shown that covers of either black polyethylene, vinyl, or neoprene-coated nylon can provide an airtight seal over the silage and thus greatly re duce surface spoilage of the con tents, according to scientists of USDA’s Agricultural Research Service. Greater spoilage because of a relatively large surface area has been the major disadvantage of horizontal bunker, trench, and stack type silos as compared with the conventional upright types Even this disadvantage has not pi evented their construction and use by many, farmers because of lower initiaf'cost, ease of filling by mechanical means and ready 1 accessabihty of the silage either for self- or mechanical feeding Reduction of surface spoilage and other storage losses in such silos by means of airtight plastic covers, however, adds materially 1 to their deirability Use of plastic covers in USDA experiments has reduced surface spoilage and to tal storage losses in horizontal silos to the equivalent of surface spoilage in upright silos Deciding what cover is best suit- ■ .... ■ ■ HELICOPTER ■ r< • n • ■ Spraying-Dusting Control Insects and Diseases CORN, HAY, TOBACCO, TOMATOES, FRUIT, ALSO TOBACCO SUCKER CONTROL Contact early for scheduling HELICOPTERS INTERNATIONAL, Inc.
