PP&L AN INVESTOR-OWNEDI ELECTRIC UTILITY IN THE SERVICE . OF THE PUBLIC Lancaster Farming, Saturday, May 27, 19S1— This much dry silage is nor mally worth at least 15 cents A polyethylene seal 4 millimeters thick costs only about two cents per square foot. On this basis, the cover is worth the money, even if it’s used only one season A more durable experimental material, neoprene-coated nylon that's been tested six years, hasn’t been assigned a yearly cost because it’s still in good condition Had visible spoilage been the only criterion for judg ing the value of the »eals, however, the covers would not have appeared cconom c al. Much of the higher seep age loss from the uncovered bunker was due to moisture from rain and snow tillering through the silage Precipi tation leached nutrients out. On the other hand, seep age measurements from the sealed bunker revealed that silage juices accounted for the only moisture loss The sealed bunker saved more feed and produced bel ter s.lage. Feed from the sealed bunker was preferred by dairy cattle. They pro duced more milk and lost less weight than cattle fed from the unsealed bunker Seals used in the study were anchored to the surface of the silage by covering with 3 inches of sawdust. • Lancaster Yards (From, page 3i 520 last week.
