The summary of all results shows that of the 372 tests made, 

 223, or 60 percent, preferred silage milk ; 40, or 11 percent, had 

 no choice; and 109, or 29 percent, preferred the non-silage milk. 

 The people who chose the non-silage milk were, as a rule, those 

 who do not drink milk, hence their opinion is not so important as 

 is that of the people who consume milk more freely.
