The extension of World War II to South East Asia at the end of the year 1941 and the initial reverses of the Allies leading to the loss of the chief rice growing countries in that theatre, contributed to the steady deterioration in the stock and supply position of food in India. The Government were forced to take emergent and concerted measures to retrieve the difficult food situation in the quickest possible time. In accordance with this general policy, the Madras Government intensified the food drive now familiar to all as the "Grow more Food Campaign". The plan for stepping up production consisted among other items of (a) area increase by bringing in the cultivable wastes then lying uncultivated (b) legislation to curtail non-food crops (c) extension of irrigational sources both as canals and wells (d) supply of power for pumping water and essential needs of the Agriculturist in the shape of manure, seeds and tools at controlled rates and (e) liberalisation of price structure for food grains and checking the inflationary tendencies of commercial crops like cotton through price controls: The achievements of the campaign have been the subject matter of periodical reviews by the Government on the one hand and criticisms of the rate-payers on the other. The fact that we are alive to day and that starvation deaths have been few proves that the crisis has been tided over. Our thanks are due to the rationing system which saved us from collapse in the period of emergency. It cannot, however, he said that the health of cattle received the same amount of consideration as human beings. It shall be my endeavour in this paper to review the various legislative measures promulgated to discourage growth of cotton in this province and the effects they had on the position of cotton seed as a rich source of protein for stockfeed.
Performance of Canes under Restricted Conditions of Manuring and Irrigation

Published: November 2023

In sugarcane culture it is well known that about 50% of the cost of cultivation is accounted by two items viz., irrigation and manuring. If an effective economy in either of the two or preferably both could be made without sacrifice of yield or crop quality it will be an achievement of far-reaching economic importance to the cane grower on one hand and the factory owner on the other. To this end experimental work on this crop was started at the Agricultural Research Station, Anakapalli. During the early part of such work the varieties of cane under cultivation were such that they did not lend themselves to any degree of restriction in either manuring or irrigation, to make cane culture a cheap proposition. Later, during the course of testing, at Anakapalli, of the seedling canes bred at the Imperial Sugarcane Breeding Station, Coimbatore, a differential degree of resistance to restriction in these two treatments was exhibited by a few of the cane varieties. Since then it was considered desirable to try the seedling canes under two sets of treatments designated as the "Normal" and "Restricted" for a study of their performance with special reference to growth and quality of juice. The results of such a study are presented in this paper.
Trial of Sugarcane Varieties under Swamp Conditions in South India-(A Review).

Published: November 2023

Manuring, irrigation and provision of proper facilities for good drainage are considered to be essential factors that determine cane yields. Formerly, when the hardy types of cane seedlings, that are now available, were soarce and the ryots had to cultivate some of the old Barbados and Mauritius varieties like B. 208 and purple Mauritius, irriga- tion and drainage played the most important part with regard to yield of sugarcane. These canes were 'Noble' in lineage and wanted a truly royal trealment. They needed irrigation at very short intervals and could not tolerate any water stagnation. They came up best on rich, well drained loamy soils commanding good irrigation facilities. In Madras, which grows about 3 per cent of the total area under cane in India, sugarcane is mostly grown in wet lands or lands which usually grow rice under swamp conditions. Once in every two to four years cane is grown in the same land, rice being the rotation crop. The cultivators select, as far as possible, lands that are comparatively at a higher level than the surrounding fields for growing sugarcane. They have at times, to dig deep trenches all round the field to prevent seepage of water from the paddy lands round about To see which of the numerous cane seedlings now available from the Sugarcane Breeding Station, Coimbatore, suits lands liable for submersion in the monsoon months, as a consequence of wet cultivation in the surrounding fields, trials were conducted in some of the important cane research stations of this province, viz., Anakapalle, Samalkot and Palur. Results achieved at these places during the past decade are summarised in this article.

The work reported in this paper was carried out at Coimbatore at the suggestion of Rao Bahadur B. Viswa Nath and the results provide infor- mation on the following points-Firstly an insight is obtained into the aspect of sugarcane nutrition under different fertilizer treatments as revealed in the final out-turn of cane and in the composition of the juice. Secondly from the agricultural aspect; answer and further research is indicated to the ques- tion of manurial treatment for crop increase consistent with quality of the juice. Thirdly from the utilisation aspect, indications are available in res- pect of increase in the actual sugar content of cane by fertilizer treatment and also on the effect on the other important factors like pH, fibre, etc. Fourthly light is thrown on the question of how far the sufficiency or defici- ency of the major plant nutrients in the soil is reflected in the composition of the juice of the plant.
A Review of Some Experiments on the Eradication of Nut Grass (Cyperus rotundus L)
Authors:   Assitant in Millets ,Agricultural Reserch Institute, Coimbatore  641 003, K KUNHIKRISHNAN NAMBIYAR
Published: November 2023

The nut grass (Cyperus rotundus L.) is a formidable weed in the tro pics and sub-tropics. Results of experiments on its control have been reported by Ranade and Burns, 1925 (India), Smith and Fick, 1937 (America), and Andrews, 1940 (Egypt). The morphology of the plant as described by these workers is in general as follows: The weed possesses an elaborate underground system consisting of tubers, rhizomes and roots. Rhizomes connect the tubers with each other and from the latter are deve. loped extensive roots. The tubers are white and succulent when young but turn reddish brown and finally black with age. They consist of congested nodes and internodes with buds and scale-leaves at the nodes. The rhizo- mes proceeding upwards from some of the tubers produce the aerial parts of the plant consisting of rosettes of linear leaves and with the umbel-bear- ing scapes arising from the centre of the rosettes. At the junction of the leaves with the upward-growing rhizome is an enlargement resembling a tuber which has been termed a "basal bulb" by Ranade and Burns (1. c). Like the tuber, the basal bulb contains storage material and is capable of producing rhizomes from buds at its nodes.

Published: November 2023

Grow more tood" is the order of the day and the present food position is such that everybody who can is asked to contribute his share, inclusive of the production of vegetables. Vegetables form an important group of food. They are essential protective foods, whose consumption in greater quantities is recommended, not only for their food value, but also for the important vitamins and mineral matter they contain and which are lacking particularly in the common South Indian staple diet. The use of more vegetables at present has a meaning and a significance: it tends to reduce the consumption of rice and thus make the existing supplies do a greater duty. Further, vegetables could be suitably grown in the backyards of houses with little effort or expense, to meet one's own requirements and possibly a little to spare for neighbours and the needy. Vegetables that combine quantity and quality of produce with an economic return are to be preferred, whether they are indigenous or exotic types, which in popular parlance are referred to as 'English vegetables'. Judged by that standard and from the experience of the cultivation and marketing of exotic veget- ables, it could be stated that the exotic vegetables easily score over the indigenous types. Some of the aspects of the production of exotic vegetables that would interest the would-be cultivator are included in this short note.

An account of the grass flora of the Chittoor, North Arcof and. South Arcot Districts has been already published in this journal. Some of the prominent fodder grosses met with in the Chingleput District are now listed and some lines of improvement of the grass flora are suggested. The present survey was made in Trivellore, Saidapet, Conjeevaram and Chingleput taluks, in December 1943. Chingleput is a sea cost district with the Bay of Bengal on the east, the Nellore District on the North, the South-Arcot District on the south and the North Arcot and Chittoor Districts on the west. It is almost a flat country with a maximum elevation of 300 feet above sea level in its western taluks of Trivellore and Conjeevaram. Here and there are some small hills. The district as a whole is not characterised by anything like a rich flora.
Rice Culture in the Madras Presidency Its Varieties in relation to its varied Seasons

Published: November 2023

Rice being a crop that adapts itself to a variety of conditions is most extensively cultivated and is also the staple food for the largest popula- tion in the world. It thrives well in the tropics and temperate zones, from the sesconst to an altitude of 5,000 ft. as in Coorg and Mysore Plateaux, the Wayaned and Gudalur taluks of the Madras Presidency as well as on the hills of Assam, Kashmir. and Burma. But in higher altitudes and in temperate zones, the duration of the rice varieties gets a bit prolonged. Kice is cultivated in areas, with low rainfall with irrigation, us in the case of Sind, and under heavy rainfall amounting to over 150 inches as in Assam and the West Coast districts of Mela- bar and South Konara. It is grown in almost all types of soils varying from the shallow laterite soils of the West Coast. and the Coastal sandy areas where the hoofs of animals and fingers and legs of coolies working in the puddles get soft and pitted, to the heavy and deep soils of the delta areas where the soils crack deeply in summer and animals and coolies working there sink knee-deep. Lastly, rice is also grown under a wide range of agricultural seasons. Therefore it is no wonder that in rice which is cultivated under such wide ranges of rainfall. soil, altitude, seasons etc., the number of varieties is so numerous that one gets bewildered at the large number of collections totelling about 2,000 annually grown at the Paddy Breeding Station. Coimbatore comprising not only the varieties of our Province but also of the other parts of India and types got from foreign countries, besides new types extracted from artificial crosses in the course of the study of the mode of inheritance of various characters in the rice plant. The collection is in fact a rich mine affording one, a wide scope tor choice of a variety suited to bis conditions. Naturally it will be interesting to know in detail the varying conditions in which the cultivation of the rice crop is carried on in the Madras Presidency.
Improved Agricultural Practices Introduced in Hindupur Taluk

Published: November 2023

Pillipesara in Ragi as a means of grow more food In the taluk of Hindupur of the Anantapur District it is a general practice to grow a crop of ragi from March-April to August-September or June-July to October November in the ayacut under tanks aided by wells, instead of paddy because of the insufficient supply of water in the early part of south west monsoon. The crop is invariably transplanted either in beds or in rows and before the end of a month after transplantation, a hoeing or two is given to remove weeds. A few days later in case of failure of rains a light irrigation is given wherever possible. On the small ridges formed at intervals of 3 to 5 feet lablab is raised. Two to four months after the harvest of ragi the lands lie fallow but for lablab.. A portion of the early planted field is set apart for sugarcane planting. The rest of the whole area or a part of it, is put to paddy depending upon the quantity of water available in tanks.

An appeal to Tanjore ryots
Authors:   Collector and President, District Agricultural Association, Tanjore, M.S SIVARAMAN
Published: November 2023

There is an impression among many that paddy cultivation which has been in vogue from time immemorial in Tanjore District has reached a high level of perfection. But the truth is that no proper attention is paid to cultivation. in this district. The average outturn realised is 25 kalams per acre which is about one-third of the yield per acre in the Aduturai Farm and one-fourth of the yield per acre in Spain and Japan. The reason for this low outturn is the deficiency of the bulk of the soil of the delta in the two vital elements, nitrogen and phosphoric acid, which are essential for the successful raising of paddy. The existing manurial supplies are totally insufficient to replace the elements taken off the lands by the crops raised and there has been a gradual deterioration of the soil which has gone on for centuries. It is necessary that more attention should be paid to the proper manuring of the lands if the average outturn of the district is to be anything like what it ought to be. Can the ryot repair the damage done in the course of centuries and secure a better outturn in the immediate future without much extra expense? He can, if he follows the advice of the Tanjore District Agricultural Association. He can increase the av rage yield of the district by over a hundred percent even in the course of two years.
A note on the cultivation of maize for cobs

Published: November 2023

Maize is primarily a grain crop grown extensively all over the world. In the Northern Circars, it is grown mainly as a fodder crop. Of late how- over, it is being cultivated for its green cobs, especially near towns. The local people have cultivated a taste for the green cobs and there is a steady, though limited, demand for the cobs in the market. The area devoted to the cob-crop is not negligible, being about 100 acres even about the neighbourhood of a small town like Anakapalli. After the removal of the cobs, the stalks are cut and fed to cattle. They are particularly valuable for the milch cattle. The maize cob-crop is cultivated in the Circars as follows. Soil Maize comes up well in almost all classes of soils, and paticularly well in good loamy solls. It is also grown in clayey loams in wetlands that have supplemental irrigation facilities from wells, provided the soil is well drained.
India Must Grow More Food

It is almost an year since we met last for a similar purpose. As you are all aware, we have turned the corner and started pounding the Axis. Last week, Italy dropped her pilot and Mussolini left the scene. While we are happy and hopeful about the outcome of the War, our living conditions have been causing much concern to the public at large and the Government. We have had a year of famine. Our food production had been insufficient to meet the demands. At the same time, unscrupulous people hoarding the grains without consideration for the starvation around them, have created difficulties by reducing the supplies in the market. The cry for food is great. The responsibilities of the Agricultural Department have become heavy and we are striving our best to increase the food supplies. We are trying to expand cultivation by bringing unculti- vated lands under the plough. The ryots are permitted to grow grain crops on these lands free of assessment. Favourable terms for food cultiva- tion as, free cultivation of tank beds with vegetables and certain dry crops when there is no water in the tanks, the cultivation of railway lands under reasonable rental, and free cultivation of backyards with dry food crops and vegetables, have been offered. We are offering free seeds and manures to poor ryols. We have opened our purse wide and are granting loans for sinking new wells or repairing old ones and making them fit for use. Government have granted remission of assessment for three years for the cultivation of food crops under such wells and have said that ryofs may begin repaying the loan from the fourth year onwards. We are granting loans free of interest for purchase of manures and improved seeds up to a maximum of Rs. 50 in each case. With such a large number of concessions, Government have put before you the opportunity for growing more food crops and feeding the hungry people.
A new method for estimating the Fertilizer Requirements of Citrus Trees

The fertilizer requirements of crops are ascertained by (a) tield experiment- ation and (b) soil analysis. The author has been experimenting with a new method promising to be cheaper and quicker than the field experiment and mure accurate and reliable than soil analysis. Field experiments are accurate but slow, and costly and beset with a number of limitations: (1) The field should be uniform, (2) The field should be large enough to accommodate the desired number of repetitions of the verious treat- ments and (3) The experiment should be conducted for a number of years for eliminating residual effects of previous fertilization and seasonal effects and for studying the after effects of the treatments themselves. Soil analysis is cheap and quick, but the results obtained are vague. Various methods of determining the soluble plant food in the soil are in vogue. The results obtained need not necessarily represent what actually the various crops could extract from the different soils. Abstract of the first part of the article. Ed.]
Improved Breeding for Milk Production

In travelling round the countryside to-day one is struck by the vast improve- ment made in the state of cultivation and in the production of crops during the war. No such improvement has occurred in live stock, however, but most people will probably agree that the time has now come for this to be taken in hand. A widespread movement for the improved breeding of dairy cattle is required, not only for increased production in war time but also to enable the dairy farmer to hold his own successfully after the war. There is every indica- tion that there will be a world shortage of animal products in the immediate post-war years, and we should be prepared to meet this situation. At the pre- sent time, and immediately after the war, when supplies of animal feeding stuffs will be difficult to obtain, it is important that the best use should be made of those that are available.

Analysis of Student Errors in Solving Algebraic Math Test Based on TIMSS
Authors: Angriani Andi Dian , Nur Fitriani , Ardiansyah Dandi
Published: November 2023

The low percentage obtained by students in solving TIMSS problems, especially in the algebra material domain, shows that there are several mistakes that students often make in solving TIMSS-type problems. This study aims to examine students' errors in completing algebraic mathematics tests using the TIMSS (Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study). This was a qualitative descriptive research project in which students of a state junior high school in Sinjai, Sulawesi Selatan, Indonesia, in class VIIIA were the subjects. The research's study instruments included diagnostic tests and interview protocols, and data analysis procedures were separated into three parts: data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion, which involves drawing or verifying. The researchers discovered four kinds of students’ errors in completing algebra tests based on TIMSS that were connected to Newman's category: understanding question errors, transformation errors, process skill errors, and answer writing errors. Furthermore, the cause of errors in answering algebra questions based on TIMSS was that students do not pay more attention when writing information based on the following questions; they do not master the material related to the questions; they have a limited understanding of the material related to the questions; they also forget the concept of multiplication; they do not follow the procedures appropriately; and they do not re-check the answers. As a result, teachers must create TIMSS-based questions to help students improve their mathematical abilities.

Published: November 2023

The study investigated the relationship between self-concept and the academic performance in mathematics of secondary school students in Delta State, Nigeria. Two research questions and two null hypotheses guided the study. A correlation design was adopted in the study. All 42,299 senior secondary two (SS2) mathematics students in the 2021/2022 session in the state made up the research population. A multistage sampling procedure was used to draw 1,650 of these students. The instrument utilized to gather data was the Academic Self-Concept Questionnaire (ASQ), which was validated by three experts. The instrument's dependability was determined using Cronbach’s Alpha, and the result was 0.68. The students’ performances in Mathematics for three terms in SS1 represent their performance scores in mathematics. The collected data were analyzed using Pearson product moment correlation and a t-test for correlation analysis. The results of the study showed a very low positive and no significant relationship between academic self-concept and the performance of secondary school students in mathematics. However, there was a significant difference in relation to mathematics performance between students with a positive self-concept and those with a negative self-concept in mathematics. In light of the results, it was recommended among other things, that mathematics teachers should make a deliberate effort to help students who possess negative self-concepts by conditioning, modeling, and changing their behaviors to perform better in mathematics.

The purpose of this study was to determine the quality of mathematics self-efficacy instruments in terms of validity, reliability, undimensionality, ability distribution, and suitability of student responses. Data were obtained by distributing mathematics self-efficacy instruments consisting of 20 statements to 45 seventh-grade students of a private junior high school in Yogyakarta, Indonesia, at the 2022/2023 school year selected through purposive random sampling technique. The data were analyzed using Rasch model with the help of the Ministep application. The results of the analysis showed that the mathematics self-efficacy instrument used was declared valid, with an outfit Z standardized (outfit ZSTD) value of -0.16 for respondents and 0.20 for items, and could be used to measure students' mathematics self-efficacy level with a reliability level reaching a score of 0.54 or in the medium category. The results of the distribution of item abilities show that most students admit to having the fighting power to solve problems that occur, especially in learning mathematics. From the analysis of the suitability of student responses, 18 statements show the suitability between the level of self-efficacy and the responses given by students. While two other statements did not show suitability. Therefore, teachers or other academics can use the self-efficacy questionnaire that has been prepared by researchers because it has met the four criteria for testing instruments.
