THE N.F.U. AND BROADCASTING [To the Editor of the SPECTATOR.]
Sm,—Our attention has been drawn to a letter in your issue of April 14th from the Secretary of the National Farmers' Union. While we do not wish to take up your space for any controversial purpose, we should be sorry if the impression should be left with your readers that broadcast talks on agriculture were arranged with less care and were of a less authoritative kind than talks on other subjects.
In addition to the fortnightly bulletins for farmers prepared by the Ministry of Agriculture, there are important monthly talks by the most expert speakers obtainable, arranged through the Ministry of Agriculture for England, and in Scotland in collaboration with .the Scottish Board of Agricul- ture. These have included speakers like Professor Biffen, Mr. C. S. Orwin, Sir Daniel Hall, Sir Francis Floud, Professor Leiper, Mr. J. A. Venn, and many others with special scientific or practical qualifications. In Scotland, speakers have included Dr. Crews, Dr. Orr, Professor Montague Drummond and Professor W. Brown.—I am, Sir, &c., Savoy Hill, London, W.C. 2.
