TEHRAN, Iran GH-The adviser

The U. S. has approved the
British proposals, under which
Iran would keep control of her
oil industry and the British would
be compensated for their large in

Company. Iran seized control of
the billion dollar company when
she nationalized her oil resources

The agreement would have per-

UNITED NATIONS, N. Y. "a -
The U. S. charged today that Rus

policy Of imperialism, not because
of any fear Of aggression by any

because of its policy of violent
words and violent Deeds"
The Assembly broKe out into
wild applause, and had to be called
by Russia's Andrea A. Gromyko
that the u. S. was doing every
thing in its power to prolong the
Korean War.
The exchange broke out shortly
after British Foreign Secretary
Anthony Eden said that, despite
Korea, we were not yet in World
War III.
In that connection, Gromyko &C
cused the U. S. Army Of atrocities
in Korea.
While Assembly President Lester
B. Pearson Of Canada gavelled
for order, Lodge reminded Gromy-
ko that ''the u. S. Army you seek
to smear is the same u. S. Army
which stood beside the Russian
Army to defeat the Nazis in
Europe"
Lodge told Gromyko that ''the

you in 1912, 1913, 1914 and 1916.

CIover-Gruss Rutio
Kept by Grazing

How pastures are graZed is i'm
portant in maintaining a desir-
able clover-grass ratio.
John F. Shoulders, associate
agronQmist at VPI, says if you
now have a ratio of about so per
cent ladino clover and SO per
cent tall grass in your pastures,
begin grazing when the plants
are about 4 to 6 inches tall. Craze
down to about 2 inches, then clip
the ungrazed clumps and let the
pasture recover to a height of
from 6 to 8 inches before turning
the animals back on it.
If clover has thinned out or
the grass is crowding the clover,
begin grazing early and do not
let the grass get over 3 to 4 inches
tall at any time during the
spring. Clip the pastures if nee
essary to give the clover a chance
to grow and thicken through the
grass.
If there is too much clover and
the grass is thinning out, let the
pasture grow to IL to Is inches
before grazing; or better still,
let the pasture reach the stage
for silage or hay and use it for
that purpose.
Letting the grass grow too tall
during the spring will weaken
the clover and tend to crowd it
out of the stand. Tall grass
ladino clover mixtures must be
grazed rotationally. They must
have a recovery period after they
have been grazed to maintain a
desirable ratio of grass and
clover. Continuous grazing tends
to weaken the plants and make
them more susceptible to injury
from insects, diseases, etc.
