Water Piping Demonstration at Local Field Day
“A revolutionary method of laying polythene water piping by mole plough will be demonstrated in the Rylstone area on Thursday, January 20,” announces Mr. G. Ireland, of Imperial Chemical industries.
The demonstration will be given at Rainford’s (Rylstone) field day held at “Rawdon,” the property of Mr. J. K. Kerr.
“It is possible to lay 500 ft. of ¾in. Piping from a coil to a depth of about 12 in. in twenty minutes,” says Mr. Ireland. “The economy achieved in labour costs, and the fact that the piping has a life of thirty years are salient points to this new water reticulation aid.”
Post mortem examination of sheep for worm infestation, the proper use of drenches, and low volume weed killing equipment with power takeoff and gear pumps will also be demonstrated.
Later at 8 p.m. in the Memorial Hall, films will be shown. They will cover such problems as worms in sheep, weed killing, water reticulation and the use of perspex in farm buildings. Admission will be free.
This show will be repeated at Mudgee in the C.W.A. Hall the following evening at 8 p.m1
