When he is dozen or so feet away
call out sharply "Comel" while gently
pulling the dog toward you When he
is near you, act as though he had
obeyed you-pet or praise him, give
him a tidbit. Repeat this several
times, then remove the rope and call
him. Replace the rope if he does not
seem to have caught on to the idea.
Continue this lesson for 10 or Is
minutes day, dropping the tidbit
reward after he has thoroughly mas
tered the lesson.
"HEEL!" Place dog on your left
side, grip leash above his collar, and
commence walking, Should he try to
forge ahead, pull him back, the while
ordering Heel" If he is inclined to
drag behind, pull him forward, again
with the command, Heel" Keep on
insisting on the correct heel position,
and he will soon learn to maintain il
no matter how you turn. Continue
the "heeling" lesson until the dog
walks as well without the leash as
with it.
"SIT!" OF DOWN. The difference
between these two is solely in the
length of time the dog is required to
maintain his posture. You take your
dog for stroll Suddenly you stop,
command "Sit" and press his hind
quarters down until he is seated. Do
this with one hand while holding his
head up with the leash in the other
On the first trial he'll probably not
hold his position for more than a
second or two. but pet him and ex-
press your pleasure at his conduct
with Good dog!' or the like. Do this
again and again until he remains
seated as long as desired. Now you
order the dog to SIT and as he
oheys give the command "Down!
while gently pulling his front legs
from under him. Pat and praise him
as he lies full-length on the sidewalk
or grass Repeat the exercise dozen
times day until he reacts perfectly
Next is to order him "Down!" as/you
move out of his sight. AS you back
away, he will probably start to get
up. It will take lot of repetition be-
fore he has learned to remain in one
position in one spot while you are
inside, visiting or shopping.

Whether your dog is joy or
nuisance to you and your friends de-
ponds largely on one thing-his train
ing, states the Gaines Dog Research
Center, New York City. The better
trained he is, the more valuable and
useful he will be. A well-trained dog
is more than worth all the effort and
patience put into his training.
Actually, dog is infinitely easier
to train than a child. You will sue
coed best if you keep, certain things
constantly in mind. A dog is not a
human and must never be judged as
such. Words to him are not words
but simply sounds which. after much
repetition, he comes to associate with
certain actions desired of him. If the
words are associated with a eharac-
teristic gesture, all the better Words
spoken to him loudly or in anger
only serve to confuse him. A dog
should never be punished unless he
is made to understand what he is be-
ing punished for, and punishment
should follow Immediately after his
misdemeanor. A dogs training should
be handled by only one person, and
il he has been properly tra1ned, ne
will go through the motions for any
one who gives the commands prop
erly.
Below are the first three lessons in
obedience every dog must learn if ne
is to live in civilized society. He must
come to you whenever you call him
no matter what else he may want to
do at that particular time. He must
learn to "heel," that is. Wa Tx or troi
quietly at your side whenever you
are out with him-not run ahead or
behind you, trip you up. OF get into
a fight with another dog. And he
must learn to sit or lie down when
you stop in the street to greet a
friend or pay visit to neighbor
The principles in these lessons are
applicable to almost anything else
you might like to teach your dog. Fol-
q list of recommended literature on
dog training write to the Gaines Doe
Research Center, $50 Park Avenue
New York.
"COME!" Fasten a long string to
his collar and let him run at will

Texas Cattle Served
Phosphate ON Big Ranch

Four million pounds Of beef on
the hoof were created last year be-
cause thousands of Texas cattle
were served the rangeland equiva-
lent Of the soda fountain "phos-
phate."
About half the area Of the fabu-
lous King Ranch-which is the size
of Rhode Isand-and much of the
coastal region of the South--has less
than the necessary amount of phos-
phorous in the soil. If the cattle are
not given phosphorus to supple
ment their normal ration, a sub
lstantial number get into what is
known as a "creepy condition. I"
Their value Is tremendously lower
ed, cows often become barren, and
a considerable number may even
die.
Served a phosphate" regularly,
however, they stay fat and sleek
even during droughts. And they pro-
duce % per cent more calves. At
weaving time, calves average rs
pounds heavier. The King Ranch,
the U. S. Department Of Agricul-
ture, and the Texas Agricultural Ex-
pertinent Station developed the
method Of dissolving the silvery-
grained chemical in rangeland
drinking troughs.
In this way, four cents worth Of
crystal disodium phosphate helps
create two pounds Of beef for the
table.

Bulgaria Historic Highway
Linking Europe With East

Lying south of Rumania, and
north of Greece, Bulgaria is fianked
by Jugoslavia to the west and north
west, and by Turkey to the south
east. Thus it links the other Balkan
nations, while at the same time fac
ing the Black sea within 225 miles
of Soviet territory. Through this
country, following the course of the
Maritsa and the Morava rivers to
the broad valley of the Danube, runs
one of the great highways Of his
tory, natures open road between the
Near East and the heart Of Nazi-
held Europe.
Within the Axis bloc, Bulgaria
yields number of foodstuffs, min
erals, and other war-useful mate
rails.
About four-ffths of Bulgaria's fru-
gal, Woodworking people make their
living by farm and pasture, supple
menting the fruits of the soil with
products of forest and stream. On
many small holdings (most of them
range from one to six acres) they
grow big crop of tobacco, Bull
garia's leading export in war or
peace, and an essential item in fight
ing mems supplies. Their mulberry
trees support a silkworm industry
whose output may now serve such
direct war needs as parachutes,
gunpowder bags, and surgical
thread. Hides and skins from Bull
garia find military use in boots,
straps, and jackets.

Chilling Needed

Warm weather can be almost as
disastrous to some orchard crops as
fruit-killing freezes are to others.
Many fruit trees must have a GER
tain amount of winter chilling to
release them from their rest period
the following spring.
In southern California, lack of
winter chilling greatly reduces the
number of deciduous varieties that
can be grown, and especially warm
winters cause great losses in or
chards of some varieties, such as
peaches, plums, and apricots.
The greatest losses are in walnut
orchards. In some years the crops
have been reduced as much as 40
per cent by failure of many buds to
open or by their opening so late that
the nuts were too small for the
markets.

ANTI-bIAS BILL

TRENTON, N. j., Mar. 27
(ANP)-Trailing close behind
New York legislators who recently
enacted bill to eliminate discrim-

Jersey assembly which held it's
first hearing on the second FEPC|
bill; the measure is sponsored by
DR.. James O. Hill, Negro assembly,
man of Essex.
Since only FL of the As speakers
were able to participate in the gen.
eral discussion the meeting was
continued with representatives
from the various political factions,
the CIO, PAC, Independent Cit
liens League, American Youth for
Democracy, AFL, AME Church,
Jewish Council, Urban League and
NAACP.
AS in New York, the bill has
created much stir and already the
two major political factions have
begun what is predicted to be a
long fight. The latter bill, No. 32O,
is known as the democratic
FEPC" and is a predecessor to the
Republican sponsored bill, No. 321.
Although the first bill was in
troduced by Democratic for the
state FEPC, the legislature was
SO percent Republican and it is be-
lieved that it was primarily op-
posed because Republicans seek
credit for it's possible enactment.
