This is the first of two talks in which
Dr. Ernest Vanstone will tell, in language which the layman will be able to understand, what science has done in recent years to illuminate the art of agriculture. Ho will begin this evening by dealing with the science of the soil-a subject on which he is an expert, as during his term as Head of the Chemical Department of Seale-Hayno Agricultural College, Newton Abbot , he has for years been engaged in carrying out researches on soils and fertilizers, especially the role of phosphates in the soil.

By now the newspapers and the exhibition at the British Museum have made most people to some extent familiar with the remarkable work that
Mr. Leonard Woolley has done in the ancient city of Abraham, Ur of the Chaldeea. In the course of his excavations there, Mr. Woolley has come upon many evidences for the reality of the Biblical Flood, which can be proved to have been, even if only a partial inundation, at least an historical event. In his talk tonight he will describe the curious breaks in the continuity in the history of Ur, as it is revealed in the relics that he has discovered in the Royal Tombs.
