The Agricultural Division
of Ciba-Gelgy Corporation
announces that with the raw
material shortage cased,
Maloran 50WP is being
reintroduced to effectively
control most annual
broadleaf weeds and grasses
commonly a problem in Irish
potatoes.
Maloran is Ciba-Geigy's
chlorbromuron selective
preemergence herbicide that
should be applied either
broadcast or in a band.
Applications should be
made after planting or after
drag off, but preemergence
to the crop. If there is a
tendency for the soils to
slough off after hilling,
Maloran should not be ap
plied until excessive soil
movement has stopped.
Do not plant crops other
than Irish potatoes, corn or

RENZ, one of the world’s
very popular Simmental

highly regarded sires in the
United Stated and Canada.
The 1975 American Sim
mental Association National

12 - inch - diameter*
Plasticast pipe in 4-foot
sections that weigh just 14
pounds withstood shield
deflection of 12 inches or
more without joint
separation in a carrier
dramline installation.
According to Centaur
Manufacturing Inc. of
Milpitas, Ca., their new,
lightweight subsurface
plastic pipe also completely
eliminates the need for
heavy hoisting and handling
equipment. Comparable
weights of concrete, clay and
steel pipe are 588 pounds, 490
pounds and 400 pounds
respectively. Because of an
improved design combined
with Cycolac grade JS ABS
engineering thermoplastic
supplied by Borg-Warner
Chemicals, Plasticast offers

many other benefits to the
contractor and property
owner*
The pipe is foam-cast
permitting thin-wall design
while retaining high
structural strength. Con
sequently, narrower tren
ches and less gravel are
needed for installation.
Accurate centering and a
controlled ft inch opening
are provided by four
shoulder lugs placed at 90
degree centers within the
bell to facilitate water entry
at the joint. The lugs provide
a snap fit with a minimum of
60 pounds retention when the
spigot is inserted into the
bell. The spigot may be in
serted into the bell nearly
three inches, ac
commodating a ten degree
bend at the joint without
separations. These features
solve many of the problems
which occur when
heavyweight large diameter
pipe is installed in sub
surface drainlines. The
Plasticast process also lends
itself to the manufacturer of
larger diameter pipe up to 72
indies.
The first Plasticast
agricultural drainage
system was installed in
severe soil conditions in
California by McElvany
Tile, Inc. m July, 1975.
Contractor Ike McElvany
said cave-ins pushed the
shield 12 inches or more out
of line at one joint.
According to William R.
Chew, president of Centaur,
Plasticast is also
manufactured as close joint
drainage or low head
Lancaster Farming, Saturday, Dec. 13,1975
irrigation systems. The
primary material for
manufacturing the closed
joint pipe will be Cycolas
ABS, supplied by Borg-
Warncr, because ABS
materials lend themselves to
solvent welding. The closed
joint pipe is a straight wall
configuration with bell and
spigot designed to meet
standard R-4, Bureau of
Reclamation “0” ring joint
specification. An additional
feature is a one-inch wide
solvent welding ring situated
on the spigot. Clearance
between the bell and spigot
at the welding ring is .005.”
The solvent welded joint is
watertight and as strong as
the balance of the pipe. When
the joint is solvent welded,
the need for an “0” ring is
eliminated.
