Nearly every one of about 800

Some one cited yesterday a conver-

The good old man was making
poor tist of 1t as a preacher, or even
as shepherd OF his flock. II was
plain; but he was not discouraged.
Had he cared to count heads from the
pulpit he might have felt concerned.
but apparently he was content as long
as anybody came TO hear him, for his
church was endowed and was indie
pendent of the collection plate.

congregation might be larger in view

The farmer of today is fast be-

His office and his home are combined
and overlook his factory of pro-
duction-namely, his growing crops.
He uses the latest labor saving
devices. He runs them skillfully and
well. He is trying his level best to
keep up with the increased demand
for the products of the farm.
The labor situation is worrying
him more than anything else just
now. II he could get the help to run
his implements he could produce
much more food. sell it for less ard
make more for himself.
This is where the farm tractor
comes in. 1t furnishes the means TO

can add seven to thirty-nine acres un-

posing of at least two horses, another

Seventeen to fifty acres of wheat OF
corn will help out immensely. The
city man is going to need the food
next winter too.
"The cost of operating tractor is
by far less than the forage of three
TO six horses it will replace. The lab
or cost per acre when using tractor
is also much less.
"A tractor on the average American
farm is the greatest cost reducing
element in crop raising yet invented.
''The American farmer today is try
ing to give the world food at the low
est possible figure he can produce it
for. He is doing his best with the
hold of a tractor by increasing the
number Of acres under cultivation and
by decreasing his operating costs. As
business man, he is looking ahead
for the best possible means of pro-
ducing. The farm tractor solves his
problem. He is buying and using
them. This is evinced by the rapidly

mounted to $500 tons. The control
over the sources of it was So per cent
American. and 35 per cent British.
The price and production slumped
with the end of the war until today
raw tungsten can be bought for
little over dollar pound.
Most of the adaptions for tungsten
are due to discovery made by DR..
w. D. Coolidge. of the General Elec-
trio Company He was the first man
to find a way to "work" this most
brittle Of metals. He made it ductile
and thereby hangs this tale.
For about 100 years tungsten had
been known before it was put to any
use whatever, even as mere alloy.
Its presence was first noticed by
| Scheele and Bergman in 1871. They
found traces of it in a metal called
scheelite and coined the name "tung-
stem" for it from the Swedish "tung
meaning weighty and "sten" for stone
! In 1888 three Spaniards discovered
tungsten in the mineral Wolfram. To
this day there is little tungsten taken
from any other minerals. 1t is found
in small quantities in Cumberland,
England; limoges, France; and in
parts of Connecticut and North Caro-
lima, but most Of it comes from Colo
RADIO, and China.
Extracted from these minerals and
pulverized, tungsten was found useful!
in certain steel alloys. Mixed with an
adhesive It was made into lamp fila
ments that were efficient but exceed
!nsly fragile. However no metallurg!st
was able to discover way to work
pure tungsten. This was because in
pure metallic form it is absolutely
brittle! It COMPOUNDED all experts with
its utter intractability. The established
processes in working other metals
proved useless with tungsten.
Perhaps it was this very thing
which finally brought about the har-
Messing Of this valuable metal. DR..
Coolidge with the instinct of the true
scientist pioneering in untrcdden field
tried ways that any metallurgist
would have thought an idle waste of
time. The result was that after long
effort and many failures he finally
made tungsten ductile and workable
so that it could even be drawn like

ment was made Of fine tungsten
powder, mixed with binder into
plastic mass which was squirted thru
fine dies to produce fragile "wire."
This was an enormous improve
ment over the old-style carbon fila
ment, thanks to the facts that tung-
stem, with a melting point of 1880
degrees Centigrade will stand more
heat than other metals and its vapcr
tension is so lew that even under
tremendous heats its volatile decom-
position is sow. Tungsten even in
this form made so good lamp that
it saved the American public billion
dollars year on its electric Light
Bill.
But filaments of those days could
not withstand the slightest jar during
the process Of manufacture. They
necessarily could mot be strongly
