J. A. Scott WATSON (Professor of Rural Economy, University of Oxford)
One of the coming developments likely to be of great value to the British farmer is the introduction of improved processes for the preservation of grass and other forage crops. One possibility is to provide the farmer with a small-scale plant for the artificial drying of young grass. New and improved methods for the making of silage are now also available. This evening Professor Scott Watson will discuss these various developments with Dr. S. J. Watson of the Jealotts Hill Research Station, who has been actively engaged in fodder preservation research for a number of years, and who is regarded as the leading expert on the subject.

Relayed from La Scala, Milan
Act I
Ramphis, High Priest of the Egyptians, tells Radames that it is decreed that he shall lead the army against the Ethiopians. Radames is deeply in love with Aïda, daughter of the Ethiopian king, Amonasro, but now captive at the Egyptian Court. Amneris, the Egyptian Princess, also loves Radames, and finding him indifferent towards her, watches him and Aida. The rest of the act is concerned with the investiture and consecration of Radames as Commander.
In Act II Amneris, preparing to receive Radames, who is returning in triumph, tricks Aida into disclosure of her love, by lying to her that Radames has been killed.
The victorious army now returns, and Radames is received with all the magnificence of the Egyptian Court. At his request, the King spares the captives (among whom is Amonasro), and, further, bestows the hand of Amneris upon him, and proclaims him his heir.
An article on Aidi, by F. Bonavia , appears on page 12.
