' The Story of Mahommed '
HUGH Ross WILLIAMSON
1 Great is Allah! Great is Allah
I bear witness that there is no God but Allah,
I bear witness that Mahommed is the prophet of Allah.
Come unto prayer. Come unto
Happiness.
Great is Allah Great is Allah!
There is no God but Allah.
Prayer is better than sleep, Prayer is better than sleep.'
This was the cry of a new religion which sprang up in the East about 600 years after Christ, and soon became one of the leading religions ol the world. You will hear today the story of Mahommed, the camel-driver, and the new things that he taught, and how he founded a new faith.
' Food Chains '
H. MUNRO Fox , F.R.S.
Animals either feed on plants or else they feed on other animals which eat plants. Often there are chains of animals, each link in the chain feeding on the next link, while the last animal link in the chain eats plants. For instance, lions eat zebras, and zebras eat grass. In fresh water, tiny pond-weeds are eaten by water-fleas which are the food of minnows, while minnows are eaten by trout, and trout in turn are gobbled up by herons. Animals which kill and eat others are usually bigger than their prey, but the prey are usually more numerous than the animals which eat them. This is an outline of the talk that Professor Munro Fox is to give today.

' Successful Farming'
W. S. Mansfield
Successful farming is a problem that has exercised the human mind since the dawn of history. At all times and in all ages there have been people who have been successful in the fickle art of agriculture. Today Mr. Mansfield is to discuss this subject in relation to present-day ideas. It is his farewell talk so far as this series is concerned. A great number of listeners will miss his talks on Wednesday evenings, but he has once again to devote his whole attention to the interests of the Cambridge University School of Agriculture. He will be followed next week by another popular broadcaster, Anthony Hurd.
