Week-end notes for women gardeners by Anna Scarlett and Barbara Tarver Gardeners who listened to and profited by the first group of broadcasts under this heading will be glad, now that spring is coming and young things are springing, to see its return to the microphone.
Elizabeth Cowell , who covered the Southern end of things last time, has handed over to Barbara Tarver , who works for the Ministry of Agriculture and is in charge of its exhibition allotment in Hyde Park, London.
These programmes are planned in dialogue form to give a topical interchange of views between North and South so that listeners in all parts of the country who are gardening under different seasonal conditions will find practical interest. The year is, of course, farther ahead in the South so that in some senses Northern listeners, through these broadcasts, may benefit by the experience of the Southerner.

Conducted by Leslie Heward
Mozart's Symphony No. 31 was written for le Gros, the director of the famous Concerts Spirituels in Paris. It belongs to the composer's earlier style of symphonic writing and shows the influence of the Mannheim school of composers whose work he had studied considerably during the previous year. It is a delightful little work constructed on clear and simple lines and is full of humour and high spirits.

Are such phrases just a way of avoiding clear thinking, or do they represent. the wisdom of the ages ? Speakers of wide experience try to find an answer.

BBC Chorus, and BBC Orchestra, conducted by Basil Cameron
Brahms's Song of Destiny, which was composed during the years 1868-71, is a setting for chorus and orchestra of a poem by the German poet Holderlin. In the poem the sublime happiness of the immortals is set against the unhappiness of ' we grief-laden mortals'. Brahms, however, has softened the inherent pessimism of the poem by repeating at the close, with slight alterations, including a significant change of key from E flat to C major, the beautiful and inspiring orchestral prelude.
The music as a whole forms a perfect tone poem subtly expressing and underlining the meaning of the words.
