'The Channel Islands'
JOHN MORGAN
The Channel Islands are as favoured by their climate as their people are industrious. In the summer, tomatoes are a field-crop in Jersey, and in both Jersey and Guernsey grapes and peaches ripen in greenhouses without heat, and figs grow out of doors. As summer glides towards autumn, blackberries the size of mulberries are gathered.
In the winter snow and frost are rare, and spring's earliest touches come to the islands that are as famous for their early spring flowers and potatoes and other vegetables as for their delightful sands and sea.
This evening John Morgan , who has been over there on a visit, is to give an eye-witness account of the season's horticultural and farming preparations now in full swing on this fruitful soil.

Sir Edward Elgar tells us that this piece owes its inception to a tune which he once heard sung in the distance, when he was on holiday in Wales-a tune which impressed him particularly by its cadence of a falling third. From it he evolved the main theme, sufficiently like a Welsh tune to be taken for real folk music. Later, another song heard in the Wye valley confirmed the first impression, and the work was carried to completion. It appeared in March, 1905, at the same concert at which the third Pomp and Circonstance March had its first performance.
After four introductory bars the first theme is heard, and when it has been set forth at some length, the ' Welsh ' tune makes its first appearance on the viola of the Quartet. It is taken up by the others, giving way soon to reminders of the introduction and of the first subject. The real second subject appears a little later, and these, along with the theme of the four introductory bars, are developed and interwoven with interesting effect; instead of the conventional working out, we have an elaborate Fugato on a new subject; the former tunes are taken up again, and towards the end we hear the ' Welsh ' tune in full, the piece coming to its actual close with reminders of the second subject.
