A broadcast from a lambing pen on the Wiltshire Downs
This is the first of a new series of broad- casts designed to show how the world works at night. Tonight listeners are to be taken to a lambing pen on Mr. Coombes's farm at Fovant, near Salisbury, on the Wiltshire Downs.
A. G. Street , Wiltshire farmer and popular writer and broadcaster of farming subjects, is to set the scene and to describe its significance. There will be a microphone in the shepherd's hut. and another in the lambing pen. It is probable that listeners will hear Mr. Coombes and his shepherd talking together and they will be able to eavesdrop on the whole thing. It is hoped to convey the essential atmosphere of a shepherd's work at night in his actual surroundings.
