The valon model is applied to the problem of particle production in the central region. Using the recombination mechanism for hadronization, a constraint is obtained on the plateau heights of produced pions and protons. The available data are in rough agreement with that constraint. The problem of elastic scattering at small angles is then investigated in the valon model. It is shown that various familiar properties follow as simple consequences of the model. They are: additive quark model for total cross sections, droplet model for d sigma/dt at small t, and Regge behavior with some new constraints on Regge residues.
