Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Broadcasts on Agricultural Topics.
At present, besides the usual weekly feature on gardening, the station is running a fortnightly series entitled "Talks for Farmers", which will continue up to the end of August. Further talks on farming problems, afforestation, agricultural shows, etc., are in course of preparation.
It has always been the aim of the Director of Broadcasting to provide for agricultural talks and no effort is spared to serve the farming community in this respect.
