Ⓓ From the Point of View of a Toy Maker
In this interesting series views on children are being expressed by various people who have special relations with them. The firstbroadcast was given by a father, the second by a mother, and today's is to be given by a man who supplies children with toys. He regards it as a special sort of privilege and sees himself in a kind of family relationship with Santa Claus. He will describe how it was that he first became a toy maker and how from that time he has been in close co-operation with mothers and ' nannies ' as to the kind of toys that children want. It is interesting to know that practically all the toys he sells have been suggested by one or the other.

W. S. Mansfield
W. S. Mansfield , who is giving the farming talks this autumn, is Manager of the Cambridge University Farm. He is very well known to East Anglian farmers, particularly as a breeder of dairy shorthorns and large white pigs. He was a judge of Percheron horses at the Royal Show this year.
The Cambridge University Farm is run on strictly business lines, apart from experiments which take place on it. A certain amount of sugarbeet is grown, but the most interesting thing is the part which is under a system of ' alternate husbandry ' ; that is to say, fields remain down to grass for four years and then are ploughed up again for four years (wheat, wheat, beans, wheat, the last of these being undersown with a simple seeds mixture).
Last week Mr. Mansfield introduced the Minister of Agriculture to listeners ; today he is to introduce himself. He will tell them all about his farm and say something about the broadcast series he is giving, and finally a word or .two about the autumn clearing of the fields.
