FEED SHORTAGE

During the next fifteen months,
we shall be confronted with recur-
ring, perhaps continuous, feed shor-
tages," w. G. Wysor, Richmond, Va,
general manager of Southern States
Cooperative, an organization of far
mers who produce food for several
million people, declared in discussing
the feed situation.
Corn will freeze up in the areas
of production" he said. The first rea-
son for this is that corn fed to hogs
and efficiently fed cattle will bring
better price than corn sold as
grain uncertainty of this years cron
crop will make producers slow to
part with the grain they have, and
lack of labor on the farm to she'll
corn and haul it to market will keep
some of TIE grain from moving to
livestock growers. Substitute grains
will be hard to get, and car shore
ages and shortages of labor in pro-
cessing plants will add to the diff
culties.
''The livestock population in the
pointed out. Recently it has been
increasing and is being heavily fed.
Undoubtedly our livestock popula-
ton is again outrunning the feed
supply as it did in 1943. This would
be true, even if we had large grain
crops. The wheat crop is large, and
we have a fairly good crop of oats
and barley" However, Mr.. Wysor
designated corn as the No. 1 feed
crop. The government July esti-
mate predicts 1915 corn crop which
is 543, 100000 bushels less than last
year.
"Such small corn crop as is now
estimated is alarming from the stand
point of feed consumers in the def
cit feed areas" Mr.. Wysor contin-
ued. ct is tragic from the standpoint
of meat-milk-egg hungry city consul
mers."
AS a means of alleviating the feed
shortage, expected to prevail gener-
ally until the fall of 1916, Mr.. Wy
sor is making the following recon-
mendation to farmers

MoIe Dogs OUfnUmber

Male dogs in Americas homes out

one, and the average age of all dogs
is just about four and one-half years,
it is indicated in survey of 1853 rep

the Gaines Dog Research Center, New
York City.
The exact percentage of males In
the U. S. dog population, as pointed
up by the survey, is 63.6, and the
average age "A years.
Another interesting fact brought to
light by the survey, which was un-
dertaken for the purpose of ascer-
tanning just how well the nations
dogs are faring under wartime con-
ditions, was that there are 1.22 dogs
to the average US. dog-owning
home. On an average rural farm
families, of course, own more dogs
than urban families.
Farm families feed their dogs on
an average of 2.3 times daily, as COM
pared with IL times day they are
fed in urban homes.
Eighty-two and three-tenths per
cent of the families buy their dog
food from grocery stores, while an
additional IA per cent of home
makers say they purchase it at feed
stores.
The survey also revealed that when
a feeding problem is encountered the
veterinarian is the one most often

Wise Owner Teaches His Dog
To Eot Only From Own Dish
Proper Training Saves Much Unpleasantness How Go
| About 1t Described

It's not easy to teach your dog to
take no food save from his own dish,
but no part of his training will yield
greater dividends, states the Gaines
Dog Research Center, New York City.
For one thing, says the Center, it
will save you much trouble resulting
from the dogs 'pickin" things up" in
h : wanderings around town or coun-
try. Most dogs are inclined to take
into their mouths or even swallow
anything they come upon that APP
peals to their sense of smell. There
is little doubt that the germs of many
illnesses, as we'll as a wide variety
of worms, are thus introduced into
the dogs system. Some dogs get into
the habit of swallowing large, solid
objects which accumulate in the in
! testinal track and must be removed
by elaborate, expensive surgery later.
Teaching the dog to eat only from
his own dish pays off in other ways,
! too. 1t eliminates begging" at the
table, which can be extremely en-
I barrassing when you have company,
and it makes for more friendly COM
munity relations by doing away with
possible visits by Rover to neighbor-
hood garbage cans. Most important
! of all, his refusal to take food from
strangers may save his life when
dog prisoners are at work, as they
are at some time or other in many
communities.
! Here is an effective method Of
! teaching this particular food lesson
/ to your dog. After he has eaten his
meal, take him outside, and place a
tempting tidbit in front of him. If he
moves to take it, command mo"
sharply If this does not stop him,
slap him on the shoulders or hind
quarters with a rolled-up newspaper
or magazine, at the same time keep
ing up the command mo" Later ar
range with a stranger to make the
offer of tempting food. Continue the
punishment until he has learned the
lesson. Then take him, perhaps, for
a walk through an alley where pieces
of meat have been dropped. If he still
moves to take the meat, or garbage
or refuse, again command mo" and
move as if to punish hircs Before
long he will realize what it is you
are after.
Training your dog to refuse food
from strangers or to eat anywhere
but out of his own special dish will
come easier, of course, if he is kept
regularly on a good food. A good
food is described by the Center as
one which is a complete meal and
provides a balanced diet = body
building proteins, foods and fat for
energy and protective vitamins and
minerals. To keep a dog in best con-

"In wartime the common interest

visional president of France, paid
a half-hour visit to Selfridge

urge the continuance of the

Corps so that it could better con-
tribute to the maintenance OF

LAUDS U. s. HELP
The work of the Army Air
Forces in extending help to the
French government was cited by
De Gaulle, former leader Of the
Free French, and he heaped
praise on the American people
for their interest in helping to
rebuild the broken air power Of
France.
Full military flourish and the
booming of Q FL gun salute, ac-
corded only to heads Of govern
ment, greeted the towering gen.
eral as he stepped from the giant
C-54 transport plane.
The first head of a foreign
power to stop at Selfridge Field
was hailed by French and Am
erican troops as he alighted at
7:O3, two hours after he was or
iginally scheduled to arrive.
FL GUN SALUTE
AS he walked across the field
accompanied by an encourage OF
emminent French and American
officials, troops stood in rapt
silence and the Air base cannon
continued to boom its welcom-
ing note.
He stopped at the six-man
honor guard, lined up on the
field in front of the headquarters
building, and gave a crisp salute
to the Stars and Stripes and the
French Tri-colOr.
The silence was broken by the
stirring music of the "Marseil-
laise" played by the 728th Mill
tary Band OF River Rouge. The
playing of the French national
anthem was followed by the
Star Spangled Banner"
The be-ribboned general then
inspected the American troops
and contingent of WACs stand
ing at attention along the field.

French leader dropped some OF
