''There is no short cut to
good pasture, however. You
have to feed the soil so it can
feed the crop. Lining, based
on soil tests, plus the use of
manure is one of the essentials
in getting a good catch of
deep-rooted legumes in the ro-
tation. The application of COM
mercial fertilizer containing
phosphorus and potash is
equally important in provid-
ing nutrients vitality needed by
legumes for sturdy growth.
"A good stand of legumes
and productive grasses has a
twofold value. It supplies a low

behind the camera.
Good men like good tools, but
good men are the masters of their
tools The latest gadgets and
equipment have opened new fields
in photography when properly
used. But modern equipment pro-
badly wouldn't have produced bet

Brady than the ones that brought
him fame. However, he would have
been able to get other pictures that
weren't possible then and were
never taken.

On Sept. 6 a heavy air raid was
made on London, and an entry in
the war diary said the high COM
mand intended to bring about the
complete destruction of London's
docks, industries and supplies by
continuous air attacks "and so has
ten the decision"
British Air Strength Cited
But the next day, when 300 Ger
man aircraft raided London, the re-
port says, violent actions with the
Royal Aid Force ensued and reveal
ed the renewed strength of British
fighter defense"
Hitler postponed his decision on
the invasion until Sept. IA. When he
called his commanders together Ad-
miral 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 pain in
prestige for the British; the power
full 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 show increasing
activity. The weather situation as q
whole does not permit us to expect
a period of calm The Fuehrei
thereby decides to postpone Sea
Lion indefinitely.
A supreme-command document
labeled top secret" said Oct. IL,
Der Fuehrer has decided that from
now until the spring, preparation
for Sea Lion shall be continues
solely for the purpose of maintain
ing political and military pressur
on England"
! BY the spring of 1941, the repor
on the intended invasion concluded
Hitler and his staff were "deepl
involved" in the preparations TO
invading Russia, and "Operatio
Sea Lion" was shelved.
Milford chronicle., 1947-09-19

and said an early, concentrated at
tack was necessary to make an i'm
preston on the British people.
Der Fuehrer viewed invasion as
"a last resort" Yet he ordered pre-
parations to continue for an inva-
sion any time after Aug. Is. On July
16 Hitler issued his directive for
the invasion, since England, in
spite of the hopelessness of her
military position, has so far shown
herself unwilling to come to any
compromise"
Dissension broke out between
the German Army, Navy and Air
Force leaders as to their allotted
tasks. Admiral Raeder on July 19,
in a memorandum to the supreme
command, said the navy's part was
''out of all proportion to the navy's )
strength and bears no relations to
the tasks that are set to the army
! and air force"
Army-NaVy Disputes
Demands on the army brought a
series OF acrimonious disputes
with the navy on the question oi
! landing on a broad or narrow
front"
On July 81 Armiral Raeder con,
1 ferred with Hitler and announced
! that the earliest date for the opera
/ ton was Sept. Is, a month latel
than first planned. Then the dat'
was fixed for Sept. 20-21.
i German intelligence continued Il
1 give forbidding reports of anti-in
vasion preparations in England. l
overestimated the size of the British
Army( and this worried the Ger
man high command.
1t was about this time, the re
port continues, that Hitler bega
to show of his interest in the posi-
: bilfty of attacking the Soviet Unio
: and, while ordering preparation
: for the "Sea Lion," he ordered re
enforcement of the eastern front. H
began to doubt whether "Sea Lion
