British History-5 ' In a Saxon Village'
RHODA POWER
Last week Rhoda Power told listeners how the Angles, Saxons, and Jutes invaded Britain in the fifth century. Today she is to illustrate some scenes in village life after they had settled here and brought their own customs.
By the end of the sixth century they seem to have extended their territory more or less in every direction, and the area conquered was divided into a number of separate kingdoms.
In the typical village that listeners are to hear about today, people lived in houses of wood and wattle. Cattle and sheep were pastured on the common lands, fruit and vegetables were cultivated, and the land turned over by primitive ploughing by these primitive but knowledgeable people.

5—' The Flowering Plant'
A. D. PEACOCK , D.Sc., F.R.S.E.,
Professor of Natural History in the University of St. Andrews
Most of the plants of the garden and countryside, are ' flowering plants '. They are so-called because they bear flowers or flower-like structures, from which seeds arise. The conspicuous parts, the flowers, are called reproduc- tive structures, because they are concerned with the ' production again ' of life. The other parts are called vegetative structures, because their activities chiefly relate to the maintenance of life. Vegetative structures are of two kinds : (1) the shoot system-stem, branches, and leaves ; (2) the root system-main tap-root, branch roots, rootlets, and root-hairs.
