The decision of the State Department to employ three outstanding rural sociologists to make sociological and anthropological studies in three leading Latin American countries, Argentina, Brazil and Mexico was based in no small measure upon the reputation of the rural sociologists in the applied field. A year ago last February Professor T. Lynn Smith, Head of the Department of Sociology at Louisiana State University, was sent to Brazil; in May, Dr. Carl C. Taylor, Head of the Division of Farm Population and Rural Welfare in the United States Department of Agriculture, left for Argentina; and in June, Professor Nathan Whetten, Dean of the Graduate School at Connecticut University left for Mexico. The State Department, which is furnishing these rural sociologists funds to conduct the investigations in the respective countries, and the Office of Foreign Agricultural Relations in the USDA, which cooperates in the direction of the studies, have permitted each of these men wide latitude within which to work.

Antosianin merupakan pigmen warna pada tumbuhan yang memiliki aktivitas antioksidan. Antosianin dapat ditemukan pada tumbuhan yang berwarna biru atau merah seperti kubis merah. Upaya untuk meningkatkan antioksidan pada bahan pangan salah satunya dengan cara menambahkan bubuk ekstrak antosianin dari tanaman ke dalam bahan pangan sebagai pewarna alami. Produk makanan yang dapat diberi tambahan pewarna salah satunya adalah kue. Cheesecake yang diberi tambahan bubuk ekstrak kubis merah diharapkan dapat disukai karena memiliki penampilan yang menarik dan memiliki manfaat sebagai antioksidan. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui pengaruh penambahan bubuk ekstrak kubis merah terhadap kualitas kimia, fisik, mikrobiologi dan organoleptik cheesecake serta mengetahui konsentrasi terbaik penambahan bubuk ekstrak kubis merah. Rancangan percobaan yang digunakan pada penelitian ini adalah Rancangan Acak Lengkap (RAL) dengan variasi bubuk ekstrak kubis merah 0% (kontrol), 5% (A), 10% (B), dan 15% (C). Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa cheesecake dengan variasi penambahan bubuk ekstrak kubis merah mempunyai kadar air 42,38-49,06%, kadar abu 0,64-0,84%, kadar protein 4,57-4,81%, kadar lemak 27,17-31,85%, kadar karbohidrat 13,98-24,90%, total fenolik 0,76-1,16 mg GAE/g DW, aktivitas antioksidan 27,27-55,58%, total asam tertitrasi (TAT) 0,01-0,02%, dan uji mikrobiologi yang terdiri dari uji Salmonella dan angka lempeng total yang sudah memenuhi standar yang ditetapkan oleh USDA (United State Department of Agriculture) dan BSN (Badan Standardisasi Nasional). Hasil organoleptik menunjukkan bahwa cheesecake A (5%) merupakan produk yang paling disukai oleh panelis

Tribal Farmers

Globally small and marginal tribal farmers situation is worse because of poor marketing system and lack of quality input and technical services. This worse situation can be empowered through group approach like Farmer Producer Organization (FPO), Farmers Interest Group (FIG) and Self Help Group (SHG). FIG is a self-managed, independent group of farmers with a shared goal and interest. This is usually formed by 15-20 members. It is evidenced that the profitability in farming would be possible in groups rather than practising it individually. This is particularly the case where farmers organize themselves to respond to credit and input needs, marketing concerns, etc., as there are clear economic benefits of working in groups. The present study is aimed to investigate the level of institutional support for tribal Farmer Interest Groups (FIGs) in Erode district. A cent per cent of the respondents (100.00%) admitted that they received support for getting information regarding input availability, subsidiary activities, various schemes of the state department of agriculture. The vast majority of the respondents received information on technical support on production aspects of crop production (98.00%) and received credit support whenever needed (98.00%). Institutions like NGOs, State Department of Agriculture played a major role in improving the standard of living of these tribal people. They received support from the institution from production to marketing and value addition. However,  they did not get proper guidance for soil testing and quality testing of inputs. Because of remoteness, they received a medium level of institutional support.

Extension systems in India have played immense role in delivering the services to the farmers there by increasing the agricultural productivity. Agricultural officers (AO’s) working in the State Department of Agriculture had greater responsibilities on them to convey recent advancements to the farmers. The profile characteristics of the AOs shows how well they are equipped and can plan the activities that befit the farmers. The study was conducted in southern zone of Andhra Pradesh by considering 90 respondents. Data collection was done by structured questionnaire and personal interview method. The results revealed that majority of AOs stands at medium category with respect to variables like achievement motivation, perceived workload, morale, job involvement and attitude towards farmers. Whereas, characters like mass media exposure, interpersonal contact and self-reliance were at high category showing us the characters that need to be improved and can be used to our advantage for extension services delivery. Personal characters like age, gender, marital status, family size and type, rural-urban background, education and health were also studied and gave us the information on present status of the AO’s.
