Storm forecasters and hurricane
hunters, teamed together in a con-
slant study of winds aloft, pressure
distribution and other factors gov
erning the movement of these great
storms, confidently predicted that
the northward re-curve would be-
gin early tomorrow.

Not to be caught off base by a
tricky storm, however, they set a
deadline of noon for the re-curve
to begin before they will sound the
preliminary alert. The storm will
even then have time to roar off
through the open waters of the At
lantic, threatening no land area.
The tropical hurricane, bred i'll

Western Hemisphere worst storms
generate, was located at pm. near
latitude 222 north, longitude 67.3

sounded a precautionary note to
towns and villages on the farfung
chain of islands to the East of
Florida, and evacuation of airplaneS
from Nassau to Miami began tody.
Aircraft belonging to the Bahamas

area, with the zone of hurrican
winds confined to. the section IS to
100 miles from the center. Gale
winds and heavy squalls cover the
remaining 200 mile zone.

On September heavy air raid
Was made on London, and an entry
in the war diary said the high COM
nand intended to bring about the
complete destruction of London S
docks, industries and supplies by
means of continuous air attacks
and so hasten the decision"
But the next day, when 300 Ger

report says violent actions with

the renewed strength of British
fighter defense
Hitler Postponed Decision.
Hitler postponed bis decision on
the invasion until September IA
When he called his commanders
together Raeder began the meeting
The present air situation does
not provide conditions for carrying
out the operation, as the risk is too
great. If the Sea Lion operation
fails, this will mean great gain
in prestige for the British; the
powerful effect of our attacks will
thus be annulled."
Three days later the German war
diary stated:
The enemy air force is still by no
means defeated; on the contrary, it
shows increasing activity. The
weather situation as a whole does
not permit us to expect period of
calm The Fuehrer thereby
decides to postpone Sea Lion" in

A supreme command document,
labeled top secret" said October 10
The Fuehrer has decided that
from now on until the spring, prep
arations for Sea Lion shall be con-
tinued solely for the purpose of
maintaining political and military
pressure on England"
BY the spring of 1941, the report
on the intended invasion concludes,
Hitler and his staff were deeply
involved" in the preparations for
invading Russia, and operation Sea
Lion was shelVed.
Hitler Curbed U-BOats.
Hitler refused to sanction sub
marine operations off Halifax, Nova
Scotia. early in 1910, in view of
the psychological effect on the
United States it was also disclosed
A British Admiralty report on
naval documents said Admiral
Raeder suggested in February. 1910.
that two submarines with mines and
torpedoeS be sent to the Halifax
waters. The German Foreign Office
had no objection but Hitler ruled
out the operation.
U-boat attacks on Atlantic coast
al shipping were vital part of the
Nazi war strategy after the United

all my feed crops But even though shovel much
more corn and pitch lot more hay, / can't get my
calves to market as early. I'm just not growing as
much meat per acre."
This man doesn't realize that feed bulk is no
Indication of feed value. Livestock will not gain
more on larger rations unless the feed value of
any crop is derived from the basic plant food ele-
ments found in the soil The crop must first build
up the woody structure that makes up its bulk.
Then, if soil conditions are right, the plant will
store up supply of the raw materials of protein,
vitamins, and mineral compounds. Thus, whether
a crop offers anything more than bulk and fatten-
ing power depends on the condition of the soil on
which it grew livestock may be fed great quantities
Of feedstufs produced poor soils and still fail to
gain eigh 1t is soil that has been guarded against
erosion, fortified properly, and carefully managed,
that grows nutritious crops. Such soil will produce
crops that give better feeding results and make
more meat per acre.
