VALUABLE STEEL USED FREELY
yanadiuesteea Best known -Met;atln America
Used in Making Ford Automobiles :

The value of vanadium steel with con-
struction of Ford cars was never more
forcibly brought to notice than in the
newspaper reports which state that the
government would have to pay $780, 95
for forty locomotives of vanauium steel
or S49S,Ol0 for the same number built
of carbon steel.
The government is going to buy forty
electric locomotives for use on the
Panama canal in towing the ships
through. 1t shows the value of ANA
dunn steel in a way that. perhaps, has
not been brought to automobihsts' at
tention ever before.
1t was the Ford Motor Co., that really
made vanadium steel popular among the
users of the finest metal in America.
Vanadium steel, when scientifically
heat treated as it is by the Ford process,
is practically proof against crystaliza-
ton, the one great deteriorating force
which automobile makers have to con-
tend with in the selection OF their
steels. When heat-treated, the mole
cules OF vanadium steel actually become
so interlaced that they cannot crystalize.
Their tensils and elastic strength has
been found to be greater than that of
any steel.
In the booth. Of the United States
Steel Co., at the Garden show was shown
a front axle OF q torsion machine at the
University OF Michigan. For owe two
days the steel experts at Ann Arbor
were trying to tie the axle in a knot.
Two complete turns of the torsion
machine were made, and the Ford axle
refused to break. The attempt to tie
the axle into a knot was abandoned be-
cause it was difficult to handle the steel
in the torsion machine.
New Workers don't call attention to
accidents.
The government evidently expects
that the locomotives which haul ships
through the Panama canal will have to
withstand considerable vibration, and
Of course, in the matter of resisting the
deteriorating influence of vibration.
Vanadipm steel. as ~innumerable tests
have shown, will proye an economy for
the government on:the canal.

From Effects Of Late Frosts.
Orchard heating to prevent loss Of
the crop from late spring frosts has be-
come a matter of: great importance in
commercial fruit growing. particularly
in the west. The most successful form
of heating is with oil pots. says the
Rural New Yorker. These pots hold
about five: quarts and burn from five
to eight hours. depending on weather
conditions and quality of oil. Oil with
a paraf1n base, testing % to %30!degrees
Baume. is considered the best fuel for
orchard heating. but in sections where
this cannot be had at a reasonable
price almost any available mineral oil
or slop distillate is used. The number
Of heaters used in an orchard varies
with the evident%needs fromh2o to@1OO
per acre. and the average increase in
temperature runs from ito ~ degrees.
Various methods of filing and dis
tributing the pots are used Some
orchards have galvanized tanks hold
ing 400 gallons of oil. the oil being
