New York Tests Show Plastic Mole Drains Cut Cost
New York Agricultural Experiment Station Ithaca tests reveal machine laid plastic lined mole drains last two years without cave-ins or blockages. At about eight cents per foot installed they cost far less than conventional tiling and can be installed without halting farming. ARS engineers C D Busch and T W Edminister describe the vinyl liner fed into the mole channel and shaped into a tight tube.

Engineering tests adapt soil use in weatherproof roofs
A report details varied construction methods for sheltering experiments. It notes that a U shaped roof suffices under some conditions while others require simultaneous roof and floor formation. A complete cylinder was sealed by mechanical means or pressure tape. Cooperative agricultural expeditions in Louisiana, Florida, and the South are expanding studies and adapting designs for the western region.
