1. An improved bulk bag for a particulate material, providing dust control during content discharge into a receiving device with a receiving port of select dimension, the improved bulk bag comprising: a) a bag body having at least one side panel defining a first edge and an oppositely disposed second edge, a top panel, and a bottom panel, said top panel being secured to said first edge and said bottom panel being secured to said second edge of the at least one side panel to form a tubular receptacle for retaining particulate material, said at least one side panel being formed from a strong, flexible, woven material and said bottom panel being pierceable to permit content discharge, said bag body having a length L1 and a width W1 where L1 is greater than W1;b) at least one engaging element disposed proximate to said first edge and adapted to cooperate with a hoist lifting system for raising and lowering the bag body; andc) an integrated skirt having a bag body engaging first skirt edge and an oppositely disposed telescopically displaceable second skirt edge extendable from a first bag body engaging position to a second receiving port covering position, where said second receiving port covering position projects beyond said second edge and overlaps the receiving port, said skirt incorporating a radially inward directed compression element to urge the skirt against the receiving port and releasably compress thereagainst, said integrated skirt having a length L2 that is greater than W1 and having a width W2 that is equal to or greater than W1; andwhere the skirt defines a continuous barrier between said bottom panel and the receiving port to prevent escape of contain dust from the receiving port. 2. The improved bulk bag according to claim 1, where the bag body has a plurality of connected side panels and the skirt is connected thereto and lies against the side panels in the bag body engaging position. 3. The improved bulk bag according to claim 2, where the bag body has four side panels and the skirt is formed from a number of segments corresponding to the number of side panels. 4. The improved bulk bag according to claim 1, where the top panel provides a secure closure to seal the material in the bag during transport thereof. 5. The improved bulk bag according to claim 1, where the skirt is radially expandable from the bag body engaging position to the receiving port covering position. 6. The improved bulk bag according to claim 1, further comprising: a first element of a skirt securing member disposed on the at least one side panel and a second element of a releasable skirt securing member to releasably secure said skirt in said bag body engaging position when said first and second elements are engaged, and where the skirt is secured to and extends coextensively along said second edge. 7. The improved bulk bag according to claim 6, where the first and second elements are selected from the group consisting of buttons, zippers, hook and loop fasteners, hooks and eyes, and integrated elastic banding. 8. The improved bulk bag according to claim 7, where radially inward directed compression element is selected from the group consisting of elastic banding, drawstrings, matable hook and loop fasteners, adhesive stripping, and snaps. 9. The improved bulk bag according to claim 8, where radially inward directed compression element is disposed proximate to and formed integrally with the telescopable second skirt edge. 10. The improved bulk bag according to claim 1, where the engaging element comprises at least one pair of oppositely disposed loops affixed to and proximate of said first edge. 11. An improved bulk bag with a skirt for containing comminuted materials, having a plurality of panels, the panels formed of a strong, flexible material, the improved bulk bag comprising: a first panel, a second panel, a third panel and a fourth panel, the first panel, the second panel, the third panel, and the fourth panel joined vertically along the edges of the adjacent panel to form a quadrilateral shape;a fifth panel that can be joined to at least one edge of the first, second, third, and fourth panel to form a closable top;a sixth panel joined to the first, second, third, and fourth panel to form a closed bottom, the sixth panel having a width W1;a tubular covering made of a strong, flexible material affixed horizontally along the lower edges of the first, second, third and fourth panels to form an integrated skirt; andthe integrated skirt including a discharge opening,the integrated skirt having a plurality of drawstring ties included within a lower edge of the integrated skirt; and the integrated skirt being expandable to cover and dimensionally conform to the outer perimeter of the underlying or associated equipment designed to remove materials from the discharge opening of the improved bulk bag and for containing comminuted materials within the one or more side panels of the body and the skirt, said integrated skirt having a length L2 that is greater than W1. 12. The improved bulk bag according to claim 11, further comprising: a first drawstring access cutout centrally located along a lower edge of the integrated skirt, a second drawstring access cutout centrally located along a lower edge of the second panel, a third drawstring access cutout centrally located along a lower edge of the integrated skirt and a fourth drawstring access cutout centrally located along a lower edge of the second panel, the first second, third and fourth drawstrings being accessible through the respective first, second, third and fourth drawstring access cutouts for securing the integrated skirt against the outer perimeter of the underlying or associated equipment. 13. The improved bulk bag according to claim 12, wherein the skirt is to be radially expandable and telescopable to dimensionally conform to the outer perimeter of the underlying or associated equipment designed to remove materials from the discharge opening of the improved bulk bag and for containing comminuted materials within the one or more side panels and the integrated skirt. 14. The improved bulk bag according to claim 12, wherein the integrated skirt includes an elastic band provided within a hem formed in the lower edge of the integrated skirt, the elastic band being the fastening means within the integrated skirt for securing the integrated skirt against the outer perimeter of the underlying equipment. 15. The improved bulk bag according to claim 12, wherein the lower surface of the distal ends of the integrated skirt incorporates a fastening means for securing the integrated skirt onto the outer perimeter of the underlying or associated equipment designed to remove materials from the discharge opening of the improved bulk bag.
