' Seed Potatoes ' by R. L. Scarlett
Growing seed potatoes is the work of specialist farmers, and in the great potato-growing areas of England-indeed also in every English garden and allotment-the value of first-class seed from Scotland is well known.

Cast
The cast of 'Melody and Co.', a touring song-and-dance show
The BBC Revue Orchestra and Chorus
Conducted by Hyam Greenbaum
Production by Vernon Harris
This is the first of a new Variety series in which Jimmy O'Dea, playing the part of an enthusiastic young comedian with plenty of ideas but no money, finds a backer who lays down some very odd conditions. These enable 'Melody and Co.' to give its shows in many odd places and under many strange circumstances.
Although he is now essentially a comedian, Jimmy O'Dea at one time played in Ibsen and Chekhov. He soon, however, went into revue, and formed a partnership with Harry O'Donovan. Starting with a capital of £38 they became so successful that they were able to produce a film of their own costing nearly £10,000.
There are some good stories about this great Irish comedian told in an article on page 8.

Canon F. A. Cockin of St. Paul's will chat with an ex-Service man.
Titles of forthcoming broadcasts will be : 'Should we pray for protection ? ', ' Should we pray for victory ? ', and ' Should we prav for our enemies ? '
