Dairymen
Should
Know
By Victor Plastow
Associate Agricultural Agent
Since tins is the time of year
\hen hay making becomes more
lifficull' and if batch drying
■nth heated air is for you then
onsider the following
1 Cut the hay eaily enough
o insme stalling with quality
2 Be \erj conscious of any
eaf loss in am of the handling
locesses
3 -Make a bale loose enough
to get air to penetiate thiough
he center ol the bale
4 Consider a ha\ conditioner
is pait of the field equipment
5 Apply ample air quantities
to insure a good drying medium.
6 Add ample heat to give the
desired air temperatures and
drying rates
7. Consider a platform dnei
for hay quantities between 100
to 200 tons per year.
8 Consider wagon drying for
hay quantities over 200 tons.
Is Urea Satisfactory In Our
Dairy Feed 9 Good quality,
urea-containing supple ments
are finally beginning to enjoy
greater acceptance in Pennsyl
vania as in other areas Satis
factory results are being obtain
ed in the field when high quali
ty supplements containing as
much as 7-8% urea are used. Al
though some research shows a
slight advantage of natural pro
tein sources over a urea con
taining feed, it is doubtful that
these differences are of great
importance under the condi
tions found in most herds.
Sources of Medical Informa
tion on Silo-Gas Poisoning
Numerous farmers are exposed
to nitrogen dioxide gas produc
ed in silos, especially in dry sea
sons. Severe exposure can re
sult in instant death. Limited
exposure may result in “silo
fillers” disease Often times this
disease is confused with pneu
monia because of the lung dam
age which occurs
Even slight exposure may
result in serious secondary ef
fects Thus it is important for
persons, who have been exposed
to this irritating gas. to be exa
mined by their physician at
once
Recent medical references on
this problem are as follows-
1 Silo-Filler’s Disease A
Svndiome Caused by Nitrogen
Dioxide T Lowry and L M.
Schuman Jour. A.M.A, 163 153-
160, (Sept 15) 1956
2 Silage Gas Poisoning Ni
tiogen Dioxide Pneumonia, a
New Disease in Agricultural
Workers R R Grayson. Ann.
Int. Med. 45 393-408, (Sept)
1956
A consideiable amount of re
search on this problem is being
done at the University of Minne
sota Physicians may obtain the
latest information on this pi-ob
lem by contacting Dr L M.
Schuman, School of Public
Health, University of Minneso
ta, Minneapolis, Minnesota.
