Chemists found that silage and giams with a high moisture con tent can be stored and preserved successfully in bags of polyeth lene plastic film Results indicate that silage stoied in the 100 pound plastic containers is highly palatable to all farm animals that c/dinanly eat silage AN ATTEMPT to bag and pre serve silage and high moisture grain in other types of bagging would be unsuccessful because conventional bags would allow air to enter the package and thereby cause spoilage The plastic film corrected this condition since this VanDule AUTOMATIC FEEDING fingertip sitago feei fr«m 1//0 fo fooJht, without ladder, kcni hack or pitchfork SAVE time end werk I unloading, mlxmi ei delivering silage <n or push-button operetir Step up milk and be production by mstoHinj VonOale Combmati Silo Unlooder and Aut< mafic Bunk Feede Handies any silag packed or froien—ev gross—delivering it more palatable form with greater feed value and less spoil* age Van Dale Silo Un loaders are available m the Heevy Duty Model, with or without ■ Booster Unit Von Dole lunk Feeder* fit any »hapebunlc ioth are completely portable Stud for frtt "FACTS ” Hvllttin!

Being able to store high mois ture gram and forage crops in the plastic containers offers sev eral advantages As mentioned, it would make silage available to the small scale livestock producer in small quantities at a reason able price And, too, it would be ideal for the part-time or hobby farmer who keeps a milk cow, milk goats or a feut rabbits ALSO IT CAN provide the feed industry with a product that isn’t ijow available This, m turn, woufd give forage producers a market for a product that might otherwise be wasted. Storage of high-moisture gram is a troublesome problem in many areas and this new development may be a valuable aid in this re spect. In their work, chemists Merle Muhrer and Richard Bloomfield used plastic tubing 25 inches in diametei- cut to various lengths depending upon how much silage was to be put into each bag. AFTER THE TUBING was cut to the desired length, one end was tied tightly and then fille*d with silage, packed, and the other end Ksd tightly The resulting bag with both ends tied, doubled back, and tightly retied, was convenient for stacking and handling as handles were formed by the double tying on both ends Anyone epecting to store silage in plastic containers as a result of the new information must take extreme precautions, the two men note First of all, it’s extremely important that the ties at both ends of the bag be air tight. IT’S ALSO IMPORTANT that the plastic isn’t punctured during packing or storage as spoilage would result If a puncture or tear is found after the silage is in the hag, a strip of pressurized plastic tape should be pressed over the hole to seal it and keep out any additional air 'lt’s The Law “It’s the Law” with simple an swers is offered by LANCASTER FARMING in cooperation with the Pennsylvania Bar Association.
