Mr. Morphy said, "Silo gases are a real threat to farmers today. Nitrogen Dio- xide can form within hours of fîling a silo and may be present for up to two weeks affer filling." Mr. Morphy suggested that farmers should nof let anyone near a silo affer if is 'filled. Because the gas is heavier than air, ail silo chute doors should be closed t o prevent if f rom contaminating farmn a reas. In the event that anyone must enter a silo before two weeks have elapsed, they should ventilate the silo with the silo blower, and use a self-contained breathing ap- paratus. Mr. Morphy also warns that using a life-line connected to another person oufside the silo is compulsory. Clarke Public LIBRARY PHIONE 983-5507 Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday 2: 00 to8: 00P. M.
