acre pasture planted with Ken
lucky 81 fescue.
In the fall of 1947, before the
pasture was put in, Mr., Petersen
lost $400 on his dairy. Last fall,
after spending sos an acre estab-
fishing the pasture. he made $500.
Mr.. Strange explained that the
feseue, which is green all year
round, requires about the heav-
lest fertilization of all grasses. 1t
should be planted no later than
Oct. Is, he said.
Next stop was the farm or
jesse Hamilton, a mile or so up
the road from Pedersen's. Mr..
Hamilton has a six-acre pasture
planted in white Dutch clover
and Dallas grass, one of the best
plots of this type in the county.
Mr.. Hamilton, chided by MI.

said: THE cows loved it so ! just
didn't have the heart to keep
them out
He said he turned his Fl head
into the pasture for two or three
hours a day and they r aver
aging about three gallons of milk.

Behind his house Mr.. Hamil-
ton has a three-aere patch of les
pedeza fairly well grown up in
weeds. Mr.. Strange explained
that by next season the lespedeza
will have taken over. He warned
the tourers that this plant must
be kept clipped to 10 or 10 inches.
Longer than that, he said, 1t de
velops fannie acid and becomes
distasteful to cattle.

us. and Britain Agree
To Exempt Consular
Property From Taxes

The United states ana Great
Britain have agreed to exempt
each others consular property
from taxation.
This is one of the provisions of
a convention regulating British
American consular affairs, which
was signed yesterday by Secretary
of State Acheson and British Am
bassador Sir Oliver Franks.
The convention must be rati-
fed by the Senate before it be-
comes effective.
Officials said the United States
would save considerably more
than the British under the tax
exemption provision. This pro-
vides that no tax of any kind, ma
tional, State. provincial or mu-
nicipal, shall be collected on the
property used for consulate pur-
poses by either country in the
others territory.
Embassy Property Exempt.
Embassy property long has been
exempt from any taxation, but
taxes generally have been levied
on consulate property, except
when it is specifically exempted
by treaty as in the convention
signed yesterday,
The convention also extends to
consular officers of the two coun-
tries exemption from custom
duties on goods brought into the
country of their assignment for
personal use.
1t grants some other immun-
tiles, but not as many as those
extended to diplomatic officials.
Thus British conSuls here or
American consuls in Britain could
be prosecuted for traffic law vio-
lations, unlike their diplomatic
colleagues.
Can't Be Entered by Police.
Another provision stipulateS
that a consular Office shall not be
entered by police of the territory
where it is located, except with
the consent of the consular Of
fcer." 1t provides that this con-
sent shall be presumed" in the
event of fire or other disaster or
if the police believe "a crime of
violence has been or is about to
be committed in the consular
Office
officials said this provision was
drafted carefully in the light OF
the Kasenkina case last summer,
when a Russian school teacher
jumped from a window of the
Soviet consulate in New York.
Police entered the consulate
premises then to investigate. and
Soviet officials protested.
Negotiations resulting in the
convention signed yesterday were
started in 1887, officials said, but
were interrupted by the war. 1t
was the first consulate convention
ever entered into by Great Britain.
The United States has somewhat
similar conventions with several
other countries.
