Not Only for Farmers
le ee es ee {tT seems that 2YA’s Farm Session is something I should pay more attention to. I tuned in to listen to Island of Isolation (an NZBS feature about Wellington’s Quarantine Station) and after turning a deaf ear to a talk on farming in the Chathams found my attention riveted by the BBC Farming News. This was concerned with the brilliant invention by a British farmer of a deyice for catchitig rabbits by means of an enotinotis bitterfly tet arrahgement attached to the frorit of a tractor. The tractér blazes Away with its headlamps, the rabbits sit mesmerised, the driver présses a biitton on the dashbodfd, ad the net deScetids. Even Without Harry Tate the talk séemed to havé thé hallitiark of Variety. After this came the Somes Island programmedefinitély homespun. I felt it could have madé miore effort to live up to the tahe of romanticism in its title, and some of the past history of the island rhight well have béeti iticluded. But it was discétiitig of the NZBS to give us a progtdrtiiné about Somies Islarid in the fitst place, since this is as near as most of us will get to it, dnd thé method uséd for the featture-thé direct récording of a visit to thé island by a@ miember of the NZBS-Had ain Honesty that competisated for sdme gawkiness in presentation.
