NUTRI-SIL
be higher than that of the crop ensiled. In other
words, the dry matter loss should exceed the energy loss. This can only
happen when we produce enough lactic acid to preserve the silage
within 4 or 5 days after ensiling. The key to losses in the silo is the type
and extent of fermentation which takes place with the material ensiled.
By inoculating forage with the right strains of desirable bacteria - as are
in the FERTRELL NUTRI-SIL - you can control and direct the fer
mentation process in order to produce high quality silage and reduce dry
matter losses.
The rapid action of these lactic acid bacteria can ensilate or retain
much of the energy, nutrients, and moisture usually lost in silage. The
“ensilating” effect of the right bacteria and ensiling techniques very
often determine the quality of the finished silage product and how it
performs in your animals.

"THE ENERGY SAVER”
During fermentation the carbohydrates in the
forage should be converted to lactic acid, the pH
5 should drop to 4.0 or below and the resulting
silage should retain its protein, digestibility and
most of its energy. On a pound per pound of dry
matter basis, the energy content of silage should

Wasp airlift saves Maryland grain
HAGERSTOWN, Md. -
An airlift of parasitic wasps
was conducted Thursday in
Maryland, in a continuing
effort to help the state’s
small grain farmers rid their
fields of the highly
destructive cereal leaf
bettle.
For the third year, en
tomologists of the Maryland
department of Agriculture’s
Plant Protection Section are
teaming up with their
counterparts in USDA’s
Animal and Plant Health
Inspection Service and the
Maryland Extension Service
to release the beneficial
wasps in grain fields.
The wasps, which are not
harmful to humans, lay their
eggs in the immature cereal
leaf bettles. The eggs hatch
and destroy the beetles
before they reach full
development. Control of the
beetle in fields where the
parasites have been released
in earlier years has been
good.
According to Charles
Staines who is coordinating
the parasite release
program in Maryland this
year, the wasps were reared
in an insectary by the
Virginia Department of
Agriculture and were flown
to Maryland in a USDA
plane.
That plane made stops in
Hagerstown, Frederick,
Westminster, and the
Baltimore Air Park at White
Marsh.
Tins of the insects were
picked up at the various
airports and then rushed to
about 65 different release
sites in small grain fields in
the following counties:
Allegany, Anne Arundel,
Baltimore, Carroll, Charles,

Alcohol co-op
GRANTVILLE - On
Wednesday, a new alcohol
cooperative was officially
formed, announced Stan
Keller, of Kelmanada, Inc.
What started earlier this
month at a meeting of 76
interested people at the
Landis Valley Motor Inn,
finally became a reality.
The new co-op’s name is
Penn Agnhol, according to
Steering Committee
Chairman Keller. It’s func
tion will be to produce
alcohol for fuel.
Primarily a co-op for
farmers, Keller said, it will
be a market for farmers to
sell or consign their grain.
Keller noted farmers will be
able to buy the alcohol that’s
produced, and can also feed
the distilling by-products to
livestock.
“We hope to be in
production by this winter,”
Keller said, “but we have to
see how much money can be
raised.”
Keller pointed out Senator
George Gekas is one of the
co-op’s backers. He is ser
ving as the steering com
mittee’s legal counsel.
The cooperative idea has
met with “real enthusiasm”,

noted that the newly formed
organization will be having a
membership drive in the
near future. “We invite any
interested person, farmer or
non-farmer, to join,” he
said.
Keller added that Penn
Agnhol will be based out of
Kelmanada’s Grantville
operation. “We’re already in
the fertilizer business,”
Keller remarked, “and we
have the contacts with
fanners. It’ll be cheaper
because we’ve got the land,
the transportation and the
tanks.”
The only major item the
new co-op needs that
Kelmanada doesn’t have on
hand is the distilling
equipment for alcohol
production. “We plan to buy
the essentials from a
producer,” Keller said, “and
make our own ad
justments.”
