Mrs. Wood : ' In the Back Yard '
IN these times, there is no excuse for anyone who does not make full use of every possible opportunity. You may not be able to do much ; but if you have even a backyard, by putting it to sensible uses, and by a little work, you can benefit both yourself and your country. This talk applies to dwellers in town and country alike : for example, Mrs. Wood will tell you how to keep chickens in quite a small backyard in a town without making yourself a nuisance to your neighbours. Mrs. Wood has had an interesting career: she took an Agricultural Diploma at Cambridge, and then went out to Austria, where cows and goats had been imported and distributed to farmers for breeding. The farmers did not know anything about keeping cows and goats, and Mrs. Wood went round the farms and gave them advice. She has now a farm of her own in Buckinghamshire, which she manages herself. She is a daughter of Charles Rob3rts , the well-known politician.

Mr. KINGSLEY MARTIN : ' What the Public wants'
TONIGHT Mr. Kingsley Martin analyzes the -L popular Press of today. This new type of newspaper is quite frankly commercial; its object is to give the public ' what it wants,' i.e., what it can be persuaded to buy most easily. At the same time, there is a great increase in technical efficiency in modern newspapers; there is more news, supplied more quickly to the public. Human interest' is liberally provided for in the modern popular Press; Mr. Kingsley Martin will discuss Northcliffe's own list of the comparative attractions of (a) war, (b) sex, (c) crime, (d) sport, and (e) ' slush for the women.' The result of this new technique in journalism is vast circulation for many papers. There are, however, a few old-fashioned papers and weekly journals which retain their character as primarily concerned with events of political and social importance.
