Faculty in the Department of Agricultural Services and Development at Tarleton State University supervise 45-55 agri-industry interns each year. This study covered a five and one half year period and interns who were placed in a broad range of agricultural occupations. This study had as one objective to determine the satisfaction level of interns toward the performance of selected tasks by their supervisors. The responses were studied according to the various types of occupations. The training stations were divided into the following six groups: agricultural sales, extension service, other governmental agencies, agricultural communications, production oriented companies, and companies supplying technological services. The order of rankings according to satisfaction of interns was: (1) sales, (2) extension, (3) other governmental agencies, (4) agri-communication, (5) production, (6) technological services. Sales were significantly higher than all categories except extension. Technology scored significantly lower than all categories except production. The study also divided interns according to type of compensation. Two categories were established: paid and non-paid. It was found that interns who were not paid were significantly more satisfied with the performance of their supervisors than those who were paid.

It is argued that one response to the mortality decline in Taiwan & the consequent rapid population & LF growth that increased the labor-land ratio was the adoption of a new labor-using output-increasing variety of rice. The differential rates of adoption of the new rice in the seven prefectures of Taiwan & across time are analyzed in terms of the lagged natural increase in population (ie, increased in the labor-land ratio). The results are contrasted with the Malthusian model. 2 Tables, 1 Figure. HA.

The first health centre was opened in Johannesburg in 1969 to serve a predominantly White section of the community. Due to an inadequate concept of the functions of such a centre a survey was undertaken by the health personnel of the local authority to determine how far the needs of the community were being met by existing services and how improvements could be made within the limits of enabling legislation and finances. The ideal functions of such a health centre are defined. In the meantime only interim measures can be introduced preliminary to lifting of legislative and financial barriers wherever possible.

This study addresses normative, social and cognitive factors related to the interest in becoming an entrepreneur in China, Vietnam, and the Philippines. The study's findings are based on surveys of 782 business students in these countries. A rather consistent pattern of country differences was found on most of the measures, which may reflect differences in the historical, cultural, economic and political contexts of these nations. The results of this study emphasize the importance of developing both self-efficacy and close social supports in enhancing potential for entrepreneurial activity in these countries.
