Many a farmer has had a conniption trying to get his hay from his fields to his barn before it rains. He has wished that he could put the hay away wet or dry, and that he could store it in a silo the way he does corn fodder. Last week the enterprising Monsanto Chemical Co. of St. Louis told him that he could-if he would just use a new, low-cost, scientific treatment which Monsanto has trademarked as "Phosilage...
...Corn fodder can be stored in silos because it has a high content of carbohydrates. Fermentation breaks down the carbohydrates into lactic and acetic acids, which inhibit bacterial action, keep the fodder from rotting. Untreated hay, wet or not, rots in a silo because it is so low in carbohydrate content that the alkaline products of fermentation overcome the effect of the acids. Monsanto's technique is to chop up the hay, blow it into a silo and blow "Phosilage" in with it. "Phosilage," which is 75% phosphoric acid, neutralizes the alkalinity, allows the natural acids to do their...
Last week TIME surveyed 100 typical weeklies and bi-weeklies in 30 States and found that: 1) Most of them had good business in 1938 and the early part of 1939; 2) boiler-plate and corn-cure ads are disappearing; 3) their news is ably written but editorials are either purely boosterish, overly timid or entirely lacking; 4) many a muted Walter Winchell is doing a bangup job of columning for a few hundred neighbors.
