' Tracing History Backwards '
2a-' Agriculture'
STEPHEN KING-HALL
In the last two weeks listeners have heard about industry in Great Britain as it is today and as it was years ago. In today's talk Commander King-Hall is to speak about agriculture as it is today, and next week Mr. K. C. Boswell is to trace its history backwards.
Commander King-Hall, in this morning's talk, is. to speak of the acute problems of the British farmer, and of what is being done to ease them. He will explain how and why most of the wheat for the bread we eat comes from abroad, and why we have to go to other countries for eggs and butter and bacon.

BEATRICE HALL (soprano)
Delibes is usually associated with light and tuneful ballet music, but he composed one important and very successful opera—Lakmé. The story is an Eastern one, and Lakme, the heroine, is a Priestess ot Brahma. Her sacred grove is violated by an English soldier, who falls in love with her, but he is seen by Lakme's father, a priest, who swears vengeance. He comes upon the Englishman in the brilliant scene of an Eastern bazaar, and it is there that Lakme sings the Bell Song. The angry priest stabs the young man, and Lakme carries him off to a secret place in the woods to nurse him back to health. There his friends find him and carry him off to duty, gladly though he would remain with his charmer. Lakme eats the fruit of a poisoned tree and dies just as her father finds her.

3—'Distribution of Seeds'
C. C. GADDUM
This afternoon Mr. C. C. Gaddum is to tell listeners all about seeds. He will say why Nature has thought it wise to scatter them and then how they are scattered ; by the wind, by animals, by mechanical means. Those blown by the wind are especially adapted for flight : for instance, the wings of the sycamore and the parachute of the dandelion.
Again, most of the edible fruits are scattered by birds, while the goose grass and burdock are carried here and there on the coats of animals. As for mechanical means, a striking example is the common gorse, front which the seeds are catapulted.
Teachers will find it useful to have ready either specimens or drawings of the following : a sycamore seed, a dandelion clock, a gorse pod, and goose grass showing seeds.

Gerrard Williams began his career as an architect, and music was no more than a pleasant diversion until he was over thirty years of age. Almost entirely self taught, Gerrard Williams writes fluently for orchestra, military band. string quartet, and voice. His Second Quartet is a graceful and pleasing work showing genuine invention and excellent craftsmanship

A Psycho-analytical Approach to Social
Problems
1—The Cost of becoming Civilised
By a MEDICAL PSYCHOLOGIST
Many people feel it necessary to step over cracks in the pavement, others deliberately step on them to prove that they are not compelled to step over them. Is such conduct reasonable ?
How far, in fact, does reason lie, behind our actions or our opinions ? Are there powerful unconscious processes at work ? How far are those in high positions free from applying their own unconscious impulses to the conduct of affairs ? Such matters as these, of increasing interest at the present time, will be discussed tonight.
