Sir John Russell, D.Sc., F.R.S., 'The History of the English Countryside - VI, Rural England and Wales: The Hills of the West'

on 2LO London

View in Radio Times

Of the six talks comprising this series, four (the present talk being the last), have been given by Sir John Russell, their intention being to show the development of the countryside and the condition of rural England today. Today's talk covers the sheep and cattle-rearing hills of the West. Something will be said of the numbers and varieties of the animals bred and of their possible value. Of particular interest to many country listeners will be Sir John's
comments in conclusion on the growing difficulties of the English Farmer's position.
