Linseed is cultivated entirely as an oil-seed crop in India, unlike Europe and America, where it is grown mainly for fibre. Next to Argentine, India is the largest linseed producing and exporting country. The area under linseed in India is about 34,000,00 acres, most of it being in the Central Provinces and Berar (9,70,000), United Provinces (8,60,000) and Bihar and Orissa (5,90,000). During 1934-35 the yield of linseed was estimated to be about 400 thousand tons. Next to these provinces come Bengal and Bombay which each grow over 100,000 acres annually. Although Bombay Presidency is not a large producer, of linseed, locally the crop is important. Most of the area is concentrated in the Karnatak and the Deccan, the important linseed growing districts in these two tracts being Bijapur and Nasik respectively. Gujrat and Konkan grow hardly any linseed. In the Presidency, linseed is cultivated as a cold-season crop, like wheat, on deep black soils. It is sown in the beginning of October and harvested In February. In Bijapur, linseed is a row crop in rabi jowar or wheat; in the Nasik district it is grown as a main crop and sometimes sown around the wheat fields.
ELEMENTARY EDUCATION AND AGRICULTURAL IMPROVEMENTS

Published: November 2023

I thank you very sincerely for the opportunity you have been pleased to give me for reading a paper on "Education and Agricultural Improve- ments." I prefer not to confine agriculture to elementary classes alone. I am aware of the fact that I am addressing a large gathering of educationists. The diffidence becomes greater as I am an old trained teacher myself. However, my claim to speak on the subject is that the man in the forest sees only trees while the one outside can see the forest as a whole. I therefore venture to place before you some of my observations and experiences quite as a lay man and allow you to form your own ideas about them.
SUGARCANE GROWING IN THE TANJORE DELTA
Authors:   SuperIntendent Agricultural Research Station Aduthurai, M ANANDAN
Published: November 2023

When the price of paddy, the only staple crop of the njore delta, began to fall steeply in 1930, the Agricultural Research Station, Aduturai took up the trial of other crops than paddy in the wetlands from 1931 onwards so that the experience gained in growing them and the results obtained may be passed on in time to the mirasdars of the delta. Among the crops tried, sugarcane was one of the most important and it is proposed to give in this paper an idea of the methods adopted in growing this crop successfully on this station during the past six seasons. Neither the station staff nor the vast majority of the mirasdars of the delta had any previous experience of growing sugarcane in the paddy lands of this delta.
STUDIES IN SUGARCANE JAGGERY IV. Some Properties of Jaggery in Relation to Moisture.
Authors:   Agricultural Research Institute,Coimbatore 641003, T VARAHALU
Published: November 2023

In an earlier communication (1) the long felt need for a systematic nvestigation into the several probable factors which govern the differential properties exhibited by jaggeries, as they are available in the market, was ndicated. In it, a preliminary review of the results of such an investigation was also given briefly. In what follows are embodied the results of the study made to understand the properties of jaggeries, in respect especially of their relations to various degrees of relative humidity. For purposes of the present study, only two types of jaggeries, the distinctly good and the distinctly bad ones, were selected, based on the Following empirical tests. It may be mentioned here that a number of samples of medium quality were also studied, but as their properties stood between hose of the good and the bad ones, they are not included in this paper.
THE CHEMICAL COMPOSITION AND ENZYME CONTENT OF INDIAN HONEY
Authors:   Department of Biochemistry, Indian Institute of Science Bangalore, K VENKATA GIRI
Published: November 2023

Figures for the composition of honey commonly used in other countries are known, but there is no information available regarding the composition of Indian honeys. The present investigation was, therefore, undertaken as a preliminary step towards the analysis of Indian honey samples, for the pur- pose of purity determinations in order to set standards by which the purity of honey could readily be ascertained. The study of the analysis of the honey samples has now been made by the most reliable methods which can be obtained. Sucrose, levulose and glucose have each been determined separately. Since these are the only carbohydrates which are absorbed as sugars from the gut, their sum consti- tutes the available carbohydrates of honey.
A SIMPLE DEVICE FOR RAPID FILTRATION OF CANE JUICE IN "CREAM JAGGERY" MANUFACTURE
Authors:   Assitant in Chemist, Agricultural  Research Institute,Coimbatore 641003, G GANAPATHY AYYAR
Published: November 2023

It is a commonplace of geology that the surface of the earth is constantly in motion; that our mountain ranges have taken shape and our river courses and valleys have been excavated by rain, frost and wind. In many parts of the world this movement of the soil surface is taking place rapidly, with serious consequen- ces to the agriculture of those countries, owing to soil erosion. 1 The soil is dependent for its stability on its normal covering of vegetation, but as a rule the soil proper is not more than 6 inches to a foot deep, and it is in the surface layer that the fertility resides. There is thus always a danger that if the cover of vegetation is removed, the soil itself may shift under the action of either wind or rain. The earliest cases of erosion caused by such movement of the soil are those which follow deforestation in regions where the mountains in which the rivers take their rise are below the permanent snow line-e.g., in the eastern Mediterranean. There is no evidence in support of the belief that forests increase the rainfall of a country; indeed, by the transpiration from their leaves, they must reduce the total amount of the rainfall retained by the soil, but they serve as its regulator; as the rain falls, it is absorbed by the spongy soil below the trees, rich in humus, and reappears later in the springs and rivers when the rainy season is over. Too commonly, however, the forests have been cut down without regard to their regeneration, both for the value of their timber and for u desire to extend the grazing land.
AGRICULTURE IN ANCIENT ROME
Authors:   Assitant Messrs, Parry & Co Ltd, S DORAISWAMI AIYAK
Published: November 2023

In an earlier number of this journal, (Vol. XXIV No. 5, May 1936) an account of agriculture in ancient Greece was given. It was shown that the art of Agriculture was fairly well advanced in ancient Greece. The Romans not only improved the art considerably but also spread it in the countries conquered by them. Many of their learned men have written on the subject. The most important of these authors are Cato, Varro, Virgil, Columella, Pliny and Palladius. Cato was the father of the Roman rustic writers. His De Re Rustico is the oldest work on Roman agriculture.. Varro had written 500 volumes on different subjects and his. De Re Rustica is a valuable book on Roman agriculture. Virgil's Georgics may be considered as a poetical com- pendium on agriculture. Columella's De Re Rustica, in twelve books, is a complete treatise on rural affairs, including field operations, timber trees and garden. Pliny was a great naturalist and his Natural History, in thirty- seven books, gives much valuable information on Roman agriculture. The De Re Rustica of Palladius, a poem in fourteen volumes, is little more then a compendium of those works which preceded it on the same subject'.
ECONOMICS OF WET AND DRY LAND CULTIVATION IN THE VIZAGAPATAM DISTRICT
Authors:   Assitant Director of Agriculture Vizagapatam, G RAO. SAHIB JOGI RAJU
Published: November 2023

In Bulletin No. 40 of the Madras Agricutural Department on the economic condition of the ryot in the Vizagapatam district, and how to improve it", the net annual cash income from an average holding of about 5 acres supporting a family of 5 adults (2 children being considered equi- valent to 1 adult) and consisting of both wet and dry land partly command- ing facilities for well-irrigation was estimated at Rs. 137. Adding the value of food grains consumed, the total family income of an owner-cultivator works out to Rs. 237. To enable the productive capacity and the costs of cultivation of each kind of land, to be judged, the economics of 5 acre hold- ings of wet and dry lands with and without a well, under normal cropping suitable for each, are now presented. Crop-var data were worked out in detail, as well as the croping schemes, the cost of cultivation and the esti- mated yield from each kind of holding. A summary of the figures there- from is given in Table I for ready reference and comparative study. The family incomes which a lessee manager (one who takes land on lease and cultivates it entirely with hired labour), a lessee cultivator (one who takes land on lease but cultivates it with as much of his family labour possible supplemented by hired labour), an owner-manager and an owner cultivator respectively, derive from each kind of holding are shown therein. The family income of a lessee manager represents the net business income, all cultivation expenses and the lease amount (interest on the value of the land plus other equipment plus assessment) being deducted from the gross value of the produce. The family income of a lessee cultivator will be the above, phus the wages of permanent labour saved by the cultivator's family working on the land. The owner manager's family income consists of the lessee manager's income plus the lease amount minus the assessment. The owner- cultivator's income is the above, plus the wages of the permanent labour saved.

The relation between physical properties of soil and cropping power is now known to be of paramount importance. In the taluks of Nandikottur, Nandyal, Koilkuntia and Siruvel in Kurnool district a number of different types of clay soil are to be found. In appear ance some of these resemble typical heavy black soil land in Bellary district. The figures of mechanical and chemical analyses of typical dryland on the stations at Hagari and Nandyal which are shown below indicate their common properties.
FUTURE OF THE INDIAN CITRUS INDUSTRY
Authors:   Superintendent, Fruit Research Station Kodur, K.C NAIK
Published: November 2023

As in the case of most other Indian fruits, the Indian Citrus industry is full of anomalies intrinsic in any unorganised growth. To the outside world, India is not known as an important citrus producing country and has been classed as outside the ideal citrus growing belt. Actually, however, India produces about as much citrus as Spain, the leading citrus exporting country in the world; and from point of average production per acre is perhaps next in importance to only the United States of America, South Africa and perhaps one or two other countries. The Presidency of Madras alone has an area of over 20,000 acres, which is about equal to the pre-war citrus acreage in Palestine, one of the leading citrus producing countries. Almost the same area is believed to be under this fruit in the Bombey Presi- dency, Central Provinces, Coorg and Mysore. If to these are added the area in Assam, the Punjab, North-West Frontier Province, the United Provin- ces, Orissa and lower Himalayan ranges including Nepal and Sikkim, the total area is expected to be well over 100,000 acres which is certainly not an inconsiderable figure as compared to the chief citrus producing countries of the world.
MANUFACTURE OF SYNTHETIC NITROGENOUS FERTILIZERS IN INDIA Part I. The demand for nitrogenous fertilizers in this country.
Authors:   Tamil Nadu Agricultural University Coimbatore  641 003, C.N Dr. ACHARYA
Published: November 2023

The idea of applying inorganic fertilizers, especially nitrogenous, with a view to increase crop yields, may be said to have originated from India, where potassium nitrate obtained from the nitre-beds of Bihar, Bengal and the Punjab was for a long time used for the purpose. Before the nitre deposits of Chile were discovered and exploited from 1830, India was for centuries the sole source of nitrate both in times of peace for agricultural operations and in times of war, for the preparation of gunpowder. But after the discovery of the huge deposits in Chile, the export of nitrate trom India rapidly decreased and the commercial exploitation of the nitre beds on a large scale has only recently been restarted by a subsidiary company of the Imperial Chemical Industries Ltd.

An Exhibition as a means of advertising new methods and wares is considered to be very useful. It really creates a sense of healthy rivalry and has served to produce very valuable results in improving the efficiency of production and the quality of the produce. It is accepted on all hands that Exhibitions are a necessary means to progress. Even the ignorant and illitrate can be educated very effectively through their sense of sight by presenting things in the most attractive manner in an exhibition. Thus an exhibition is fundamentally a means for the education of the masses.
GREEN GRASS
Authors:   Deputy Directore of Agriculture Livestock Osur, T MURARI
Published: November 2023

Grass is the most important item in this world on which civilisation de- pends. Without grass there will be no cattle and sheep and no humus for the soil to enable crops to grow; even among crops, it is the grass family that yields the most important food materials for man-kind. In spite of the fact that this country has seen many civilisations and had comparative peace for well over a century, it is remarkable that very little work has been done on grasses. There has been one continuous war with the Forest Department for facilities for grazing and of late, certain forests were handed over to the Panchayats and the grazing fees have been halved. 3ut, do these solve the grass problem of this country? The only answer to t is in the negative.
GROWING, CURING AND MARKETING OF VIRGINIA TOBACCO IN GUNTUR
Authors:   Tamil Nadu Agricultural University Coimbatore  641 003, K.S SANKARAM FILLAT
Published: November 2023

From time immemorial Guntur was an outstanding centre for the pro- duction of tobacco in India and in recent years il accounts for the major por tion of the total export of cigarette tobacco. Guntur with its good retentive black soil and an average rainfall of 35 inches a year is the most suitable tract for the cultivation of cigarette tobacco which should be grown only as a dry crop in order that the leaves may be of nuld flavour. For long, India produced and exported nothing but pipe tobacco and very low grade cigaretie tobacco. Up to 1920, only country tobacco leaf of narrow body, with a thick and stouf siem, with practically no colour, was produced and exported in leaf form to England, pressed into bales of 250 lbs. nett each. After 1920 owing to the imposition of heavy Import duty on tobacco in England, the London market wanted the tobacco to be in the form of strips Le, with the major portion of the thick mid-rib removed. The saving in terms of money can easily be appreciated when one considers the fact that the stems that are removed weigh as much as 25% of the whole leaf. Alter 1920, Virginia tobacco cultivation spread gradually in Guntur district and by 1924 large areas were grown. This Virginia variety contained less wood then the country, and the leaf was broad and silky. In the country variety the percentage of bright coloured leat was between. 1 to 2 of the total yield and the rest was a mixture of light brown, brown and dark leaves. In the Virginia tobacco the yield of bright coloured leat is found to range from 5 to 10%. The introduction of flue curing Improved the colour of the cured leaf and the percentage of bright coloured lesi increased from 5 to 10% in the case of sun cured, and to 40 to 50% in the case of flue cured tobacco. The foreign market appreciated the Improve ment in quality and good prices were paid for Guntur bright flue cured virginia strips, which gave a good impetus to the cultivators and the develop ment of flue curing was very rapid. In 1930 there were only about 200 barns in Guntur but by 1934 the number of barns in Guntur increased to 2500. On account of great demand for bright virginia flue cured tobacco in London market from 1936, the number of bams in Guntur tract increased rapidly to nearly 5000 in number during 1938 season. The manufacturing buyers in the United Kingdom commenced to blend larger quantities of this improved Indian Tobacco with the more costly American tobacco.
MANUFACTURE OF SYNTHETIC NITROGENOUS FERTILIZERS IN INDIA Part II. Comparison of different Processes for the Fixation of Atmospheric Nitrogen
Authors:   Tamil Nadu Agricultural University Coimbatore  641 003, C.N ACHARYA
Published: November 2023

The three important methods for the fixation of atmospheric nitrogen are, In historical sequence, the arc, cyanamide and the synthetic ammonia pro- cesses, though other methods such as the nitride and the cyanide processes have been put forward from time to time. In discussing the relative advant- ages of these methods we must have certain criteria of judgment, e. g., the capital outlay, running expenses, availability of raw products in the vicinity of the factory and the suitability of the products to the local market. The arc process requires a much larger outlay and consumes a much greater amount of electricity per unit of nitrogen fixed than the cyanamide and synthetic ammonia methods. Hence it has been adopted only in countries where electric power is abundant and very cheap, e. g., in Norway, Sweden, Canada, etc. Even these countries have now given up the method in favour of the synthetic ammonia process, which is much cheaper.
VIRUS DISEASES OF PLANTS

Published: November 2023

In the beginning of this century the plant pathologist was familiar with only two kinds of organisms which cause plant diseases viz., fungi and bacteria. But in recent times he has to be familiar with another entity which goes by the name of virus. Virus diseases are those caused by an infective principle which is ultra microscopic in character and is capable of multiplying within the tissue of its host. The presence of this principle is indicated by the manifestation of typical symptoms on the host. Virus diseases attack man, his domestic animals and plants. Small pox, measles, mumps, chicken pox, herpes, yellow fever, cattle plague, swine fever, rabies, foot and mouth diseases of cattle are but a few examples of virus diseases among animals and man. The number of virus diseases attacking crop plants is large and every day new diseases hitherto not observed or ascribed to other causes are brought to light by workers all over the world. Of these may be mentioned the diseases affecting sugarcane, tobacco, potato, the sugar beet and the sandal wood tree.
STUDIES IN SUGARCANE JAGGERY V. Macro-Structure of Jaggery.
Authors:   Agricultural Research Institute,Coimbatore 641003, T VARAHALU
Published: November 2023

In previous communications (1, 2) the probability was suggested that the good and bad jaggeries might show marked differences in their gross structure as well as in their micro-texture. In verification of this suggestion, a large number of samples of Jaggery, collected from several parts of the presidency, were examined for their macro-structure and micro-texture. In addition to these, several other jaggeries, the conditions attending the prepa- ration of which were, known, were similarly examined: This examination revealed that both structurally and texturally, the two types of jaggery distinguish themselves strikingly from each other. The present paper deals with macro-structure. The jaggeries collected were classified into good and bad ones on the basis of the physical tests indicated previously (2). Cross sections of the samples were cut, and their photographs taken after smoothening the cut faces. An examination of the sections reveals the mode of distribution of crystalline sucrose and the ground mass of the matrix within the bulk of the jaggery (plate I) and the tendencies in the two types seem to be character- istic.of them.
MANUFACTURE OF SYNTHETIC NITROGENOUS FERTILIZERS IN INDIA Part III. Processes for the Synthesis of Ammonia
Authors:   India Institute of Bangalore 30, C.N ACHARYA
Published: November 2023

It has been mentioned in Part II of this series that the synthetic process for ammonia was first worked out on a commercial scale in 1913 by Haber and Bosch and plants were erected at Oppau and later at Leuna (Meresburg) in Germany to carry on the process on a large scale. These two factories, between them, are now equipped to fix nearly a million tons of nitrogen per year. The working details of the Haber Process were kept a close secret even after the close of the War, but the principles underlying it were success- fully developed into commercial practice independently in other countries, e. g. in America, France, Italy and England. The chief of these modified processes are those of Claude (France), Casale (italy), Fauser (Italy), Mont Cenis (Germany) and F. N. R. L. (U. S. A.). The main differences betwaen these methods lie in: (a) the source from which hydrogen is obtained; (b) the method of separating oxygen from the nitrogen of the air; (c) method of purifying hydrogen and nitrogen; (d) nature of catalyst used; (e) tempera- ture of reaction; (f) pressure employed; and (g) method of removing ammo- nia from the system.

Published: November 2023

Smut (Ustilago scitaminea Syd.) is a well-known disease of sugarcane having been reported from India, Java, Formosa, the Philip- pines, Natal, Mauritius, Queensland, Italy, and British Guiana (1). It is principally a disease of the wild cane Saccharum spontaneum (1) and those canes which most nearly approach the wild varieties are more susceptible than the noble canes, though the thicker tropical canes are by no means immune (2). The causal organism is also reported to occur on grasses which may be a source of infection (2). It is reported (1) as very severe on Uba and other varieties of the Saccharum sinense group. Some varieties are considered to be immune, Earle mentions Badilia as being one of these, but in the S. Arcot District in South India Badila has recently proved to be susceptible.

Published: November 2023

The social phenomenon between mamak and kamanakan in Minangkabau is the source of the creation of the dance title Buek Arek Karang Taguah. Looking at the current phenomenon, there is a dissociative interaction that causes the waning of tolerance and harmony between mamak and kamanakan. The purpose of the creation of this art is to create a work of dance art originating from the phenomenon between mamak and kamanakan which is viewed from social values and to reveal the condition of closeness between mamak and kamankan which has been reduced through dance movements. This work is done using a literary theme which is actualized in three ideas, namely; (1) expressing the relationship between mamak and kamanakan as indak bapamatang fields, (2) expressions of dissociative interactions as the cause of the breakdown of tolerance and harmony between mamak and kamanakan, (3) expressions of the relationship between mamak and kamanakan that should be in the value of cooperation. The manufacturing methods used include research, concept surgery, exploration, movement arrangement, and evaluation. The creation of this work provides knowledge about the importance of harmony between mamak and kamanakan.

Published: November 2023

This study comprehensively analyses various optimisation techniques applied to Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) production. Two datasets were used to assess the performance of these techniques, with a focus on improving LNG output. The results revealed that the genetic algorithm exhibited the highest average percentage improvement in the first dataset, achieving a 12% optimisation, followed closely by a custom-developed optimisation method at 11%. Bayesian optimisation showed an average of 4%, while gradient descent demonstrated the lowest optimisation with -2%. Notably, the second dataset displayed even more significant improvements, with the custom optimisation algorithm leading at an average of 32%, surpassing the genetic optimization method's 30%. This study underscores the efficacy of the custom algorithm and its potential for enhancing LNG production, positioning it as a promising alternative to traditional optimisation approaches.

The present work is dealt with assessment and understanding the relation between Parthivatwa on the basis of parametric tests like bulk density and specific gravity and the knowledge of specific gravity is needed in calculation of Sariva properties like void ratio, degree of saturation etc. Specific gravity G is defined as the ratio of the weight of an equal volume of distilled water at that temperature both weights taken in air whereas the Density is calculated by mass per volume. Weigh the Sariva sample and carefully transfer in to the measuring cylinder and measure the volume.
Self-management of type-2 diabetes
Authors: Praveen  , T. Johnsy Rani
Published: November 2023

Type-2 diabetes or adult-onset diabetes is the most common type of diabetes which usually begins when a person is in his or her mid-50s. It is a major, lifestyle-related disease with increasing occurrence at a national level. It occurs when the body cannot make sufficient insulin or the body cannot utilize the produced insulin. It is the foremost reason for premature deaths. Inappropriately managed, it can result in several health problems, including heart disease, stroke, kidney disease, blindness, neuropathy, leg and foot amputations, and death. Slight modifications in lifestyle can significantly decrease the probability of getting the disease. So, self-management skills are very much essential to manage and control this disease. Still, with proper testing, treatment, lifestyle changes, healthy eating, drinking water and avoiding dehydration, taking medications as prescribed, promoting walking, exercises, and other physical activities, conducting self-foot checks, and monitoring other signs and symptoms caused by diabetes have useful effects on the management of diabetes, encouraging adherence to this pattern is possessing great public health importance.

Authors: Alngar Djimrabeye  , Lina Touati  , Hemama Mustapha  , Haimeur Yassine  , El Fatemi Nizare  , El Maaqili Moulay Rachid
Published: November 2023

Background: Hemorrhage is a major category of the clinical symptoms of moyamoya disease (MMD). Intracerebral and intraventricular hemorrhages are the most common hemorrhages in MMD, and subarachnoid hemorrhages (SAHs) are notably rare. Case report: A 43 year old female patient, with no previous pathological history, admitted with a frank meningeal syndrome followed by a disorder of consciousness.She was admitted with a GCS at 15, which was subsequently reduced to 10. She was hemodynamically and respiratory stable with a BP of 12/8 cm/Hg, a respiratory rate of 16 cycles/min and a heart rate of 92 beats/min. Initial imaging showed subarachnoid hemorrhage Fisher IV. A cerebral angiography-CT showed vascular thrombosis of the internal carotid artery whitout aneurysm and arteriovenous malformation and dural fistulas. An EVD (external ventricular drain) was placed. After three days of hospitalization in the intensive care unit, a cerebral arteriogram was performed showing vascular arrest in the right internal carotid artery in its pre-cavernous portion with absence of visualization of the right sylvian artery and the presence of several perforating cerebral artery and external carotid artery bypass systems suggestive of Moya Moya. Conclusion: Moya Moya disease is a rare entity of unknown origin. Subarachnoid hemorrhage is a rare manifestation. It’s mainly occurs in a young adult. Cerebral angiography remains the gold standard for diagnosis.

Published: November 2023

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the hygienic quality of biltong produced locally and sold in Lubumbashi. Methods: Seventy-five biltong samples were taken randomly from five supermarkets in the city of Lubumbashi, at the rate of 15 samples per supermarket. Thus, the mesophilic aerobic flora (MAF), yeasts and molds, Staphylococcus aureus and Clostridium perfringens, were enumerated on these samples after a series of successive decimal dilutions and inoculations in selective media. Results: The results of microbiological analyzes revealed that levels of microbial contamination varied depending on the points of sale. MAF (2.34 ± 0.12 to 3.79 ± 0.17 x 106 CFU/g) as well as yeasts and molds (3.50 ± 0.17 to 4.25 ± 0.50 x 103 CFU/g) constituted the predominant flora of the biltong studied in five large supermarkets in the city of Lubumbashi with 100% of samples presenting levels of contamination above acceptable standards. S. aureus and C. perfringens were identified at low levels compared to acceptable standards, i.e. from 1.80 ± 0.07 to 3.79 ± 0.41 x 102 CFU/g and 15.33 ± 0.15 to 32, 33 ± 0.34 CFU/g, respectively. Conclusion: This study highlighted the exposure of the population of Lubumbashi to food poisoning through the consumption of locally produced biltong. Improving its hygienic quality involves reducing the total flora present on the meat, pathogenic germs and spoilage germs based on the initial microbiological quality of the meat used, improving personal hygiene agents assigned to production and improving the manufacturing process.
