British History-6 ' Turnip Townshend'
RHODA POWER
In 1701 the famous Berkshire farmer, Jethro Tull , invented the drill and, prior to 1713-the date of the Peace of Utrecht-he introduced turnips into the field in King William's reign ' ; but ' the practice did not travel beyond the hedges of his estate ' till after that year.
Lord Townshend, whose estates were in Norfolk, was one of the first great landlords to make extensive use of root crops such as swedes, mangolds, and turnips—especially turnips. That is why people nicknamed him ' Turnip Townshend '. Today you are to hear something about him and about other famous farmers of the eighteenth century.

BIRMINGHAM
A Concert in the Town Hall
Birmingham is a busy musical city. It possesses a first-rate orchestra of its own-the City of Birmingham Orchestra, which, helped by a grant from the City Council, has held winter seasons of concerts for several years. Adrian Boult was its former conductor and k
Joseph Lewis was assistant conductor for six years. It gives weekly concerts every Sunday in the Town Hall and a season of symphony concerts from October to April ; also popular concerts and Children's Concerts. There is also a very good string orchestra called the Birmingham Philharmonic String Orchestra, which gives Midday Concerts throughout the season.
Choral music is represented by the Festival Choral Society, conducted by Harold Gray. Dr. Boult was also its former conductor. It is the oldest choral society in the City, and originally formed the nucleus of the chorus of the now defunct Triennial Festival. Then there is the City of Birmingham Choir, conducted by G. D. Cunning ham, who is also City Organist. This younger society was formed by Sir Granville Bantock , and its first conductor was Joseph Lewis. It has done excellent work, especially in modern choral music.
Finally there is the Birmingham
Police Band, a fine combination that gives numerous concerts in the parks and halls of the city.
