On occasions the British farmer is accused of inefficiency. John Cherrington , who farms near Andover, Hampshire, refutes such a suggestion, and argues that most of the faotors contributing to this allegation are the result of past and present official policy, which is outside the farmer's control.

A weekly programme about work in the world of science
Sir William Ramsay by Christopher Kelk Ingold, F.R.S., Professor of Chemistry, University College, London
Ramsay was the greatest chemical discoverer of his time. He and his co-workers added a whole new family of elements to the Periodic Table. Each one of them today is a household word - neon, for neon lamps; argon, for gas-filled filament lamps; helium, for airships and research at very low temperatures; radon, for the treatment of disease. In this talk the present holder of Ramsay's Chair at University College talks about the present significance of Ramsay's work on the centenary of his birth.
