Joint Symposium on Maize and Peanut. Held in Surineme on Behalf of the 75Th Anniversary of the Agricultural Experiment Station of Paramaribo
Joint symposium on maize and peanut. Held in Surineme on behalf of the 75th Anniversary of The Agricultural Experiment Station of Paramaribo. November 13 - 18, 1978 Proceedings of the Caribbean Food Crops Society. Vol. XV, 1978 ECONOMIC ASPECTS MICRO-ECONOMIC ASPECTS OF PEANUT PRODUCTION IN SURINAME IN RELATION TO IMPORT - SUBSTITUTION A.W. Graanoogst INTRODUCTION In Suriname peanut is grown as a regular crop: smalt plots of 0.04 —0.20 ha are planted 2 (sometimes 3 times) a year on the sandy ridges of the coastal plain. Main production areas are the Saramacca district and the Commewijne district. Total acreage planted amounted 242 ha in 1976 with a production of 290 tons dry pulses. Production is used for preparing salted and unsalted peanuts and peanut-sauce: a small part is manufactured into pea nut-butter. As local production still does not meet national demand an amount of 446 tons of shelled peanuts are imported mainly for the peanut-factories (in 1977). PRODUCTION TECHNIQUES AND PRODUCTION COSTS Although the planted plots are of a small acreage the used practices show a shifting from the traditional system where all operations (were done by hand and simple implements) to a lightly mechanized system. Seed-bed preparation of the greater part of the acreage is done by 2-wheel tractors. All further field operations such as seeding, ridging, weeding and pulling are done by hand and simple implement: sun-drying is generally practiced. Recent experiments on weedcontrol by spraying with herbicides has shown to be succesful. Efforts are undertaken by extension to get peanut-farmers aquainted with this new system of weed control thus enabling a further decrease of total labor costs in peanut growing. -
Suriname En Curasao, Zoals Een Arbeidersleider Die Zag
SURINAME EN CURASAO, ZOALS EEN ARBEIDERSLEIDER DIE ZAG DOOR F. P. FUYKSCHOt De Gouverneur van Suriname richtte een uitnodiging tot de drie bekende arbeidersvakcentralen in Nederland; Het Neder- lands Verbond van Vakverenigingen (N.V.V.), de Katholieke Arbeidersbeweging (K.A.B.) en het Christelijk Nationaal Vak- verbond in Nederland (C.N.V.) om een vertegenwoordiger naar Suriname af te vaardigen ten einde van advies te dienen aan- gaande de vraag hoe de Overheid de opbouw van een gezonde vakbeweging kan bevorderen, voorts om bestaande of nog te stichten verenigingen van advies te dienen omtrent hun organi- saties en een vruchtbare wijze van samenwerking tussen werk- gevers en werknemers voor te bereiden. De genoemde Neder- landse Vakverbonden stelden elk een hunner bestuurders be- schikbaar en wel respectievelijk de heren J. G. Suurhoff, H. J. Kuiper en F. P. Fuykschot. Deze drie vakbondsbestuurders vertrokken op 4 October 1948 per vliegtuig naar Suriname. De duur van hun bezoek was tevoren niet vastgesteld.maar op ongeveer drie maanden werd wel gerekend. In overleg met de Gouverneur bepaalden zij hun vertrek op 24 November, daar zij meenden met hun werk gereed te zijn en in staat een rapport uit te brengen. Drie dagen voor hun vertrek ontvingen zij een schriftelijke uitnodiging van de Gouverneur van de Nederlandse Antillen om ook in dat gebiedsdeel enige tijd door te brengen, de sociale verhoudingen aldaar te bestuderen en het Gouvernement van advies te dienen. Om verschillende redenen kon het bezoek aan de Nederlandse Antillen slechts twee weken duren. Op 6 December verlieten zij Curacao om naar Nederland terug te keren. -
The Marine Mollusca of Suriname (Dutch Guiana) Holocene and Recent
THE MARINE MOLLUSCA OF SURINAME (DUTCH GUIANA) HOLOCENE AND RECENT Part II. BIVALVIA AND SCAPHOPODA by G. O. VAN REGTEREN ALTENA Rijksmuseum van Natuurlijke Historie, Leiden "The student must know something of syste- matic work. This is populary supposed to be a dry-as-dust branch of zoology. In fact, the systematist may be called the dustman of biol- ogy, for he performs a laborious and frequently thankless task for his fellows, and yet it is one which is essential for their well-being and progress".

List of corrections of Part I 93 5. Plates 94 6. Addendum 100 1. INTRODUCTION, SYSTEMATIC SURVEY AND PAGE REFERENCES In the first part of this work, published in 1969, I gave a general intro- duction to the Suriname marine Mollusca ; in this second part the Bivalvia and Scaphopoda are treated. The system (and frequently also the nomen- clature) of the Bivalvia are those employed in the "Treatise on Invertebrate Paleontology, (N) Mollusca 6, Part I, Bivalvia, Volume 1 and 2". These volumes were issued in 1969 and contain the most modern system of the Bivalvia. For the Scaphopoda the system of Thiele (1935) is used. Since I published in 1968 a preliminary list of the marine Bivalvia of Suriname, several additions and changes have been made. I am indebted to Messrs. D. J. Green, R. H. Hill and P. G. E. F. Augustinus for having provided many new coastal records for several species. -

O. VAN REGTEREN ALTENA Rijksmuseum van Natuurlijke Historie With 3 plates Vernhout (1914) was the first to publish an account of the land and fresh- water Mollusca of Suriname. In this publication he assembled not only the older literature in which species were mentioned from Suriname, but also he named the Mollusca collected by seven expeditions and some travellers, and included in his paper the material which W. C. van Heurn collected during his trip in 1911. So he laid a sound basis for future investigations. In the present paper only the land Prosobranchia are treated. On this matter, so far as I know, only one paper has been published since 1914. This paper (Altena, 1960) mentioned Lucidella lirata (Pfeiffer) from Tamba- redjo and Sidoredjo in the Saramacca district. The Rijksmuseum van Natuurlijke Historie received specimens from Suri- name from many persons to whom I am much indebted for their cooperation. Thanks are also due to Mr. H. E. Coomans who sent me the specimens on loan, which were collected in 1926 by D. L. Fernandes. Here follows a list which mentions in chronological sequence the collectors with the months and the years in which they collected, together with the abbreviations under which they are mentioned in the text.

INLEIDING De zoölogische expeditie naar het Westen van Suriname in het voorjaar van 1971 uitgevoerd, werd door het Rijksmuseum van Natuurlijke Historie te Leiden georganiseerd en door de Stichting Wotro in Den Haag gesub- sidieerd*). Zij werd gehouden van 19 januari tot eind april 1971. Van het museum te Leiden namen aan de tocht deel de leden: Dr. D. C. Geijskes (leider en entomoloog), Dr. M. Boeseman (ichthyoloog) en P. Staffeleu (technisch assistent A) voor het verzamelen en prepareren van zoogdieren en vogels. Te Paramaribo sloot zich daarbij aan D. G. Reeder, onder- opzichter bij 's Lands Bosbeheer, die de herpetologie (Amphibia, Reptilia) voor zijn rekening nam en ook botanisch verzamelde. Het doel van de expeditie was het verzamelen van dieren in het gebied van de Nickerie rivier, de Maratakka, het Nannibekken en een gedeelte van de Beneden Corantijn, inclusief de Kaboerikreek en de Kabalebo rivier tot aan de Avanavero-vallen. De aanleiding hiertoe was, dat ten eerste over dit gedeelte van Suriname zoölogisch weinig bekend was en ten tweede dat door de vergevorderde plannen om West Suriname tot economische ontwikkeling te brengen, de natuurlijke situatie daar bedreigd wordt. -

I n het navolgende zal worden getracht een inzicht te geven in de geografische mobiliteit van de bevolking van Suriname. Daar vele groepen van deze bevolking nog maar sinds enkele generaties in het land wonen en een deel van de geografische mobiliteit hierdoor bepaaild wordt, zal eerst een overzicht worden gegeven van de diverse immigratiegolven waaruit de veelkleurige bevolking van Suriname is ontstaan. Daarna zal aan de hand van een aaratal cijfers van de volks- telling 1950 een indruk worden gegeven van de geografische mobiliteit binnen Suriname van de in dat jaar getelde bevolking. Vervolgens zal worden ingegaan op het spectaculaire verschijnsel van de urbanisatie en de problemen welke zich bij de ontwikkeling van Suriname voor- doen als gevolg van de grote geografische mobiliteit van de Surinaamse bevolking. 2. De immigratie. Wanneer men in het rapport van de Volkstelling 1950 leest dat de Surinaamse bevolking (TAV deel X, biz. 6) voor 46 % uit Black- coloured (in Suriname beter 'bekend als Creolen),, voor 31,2 fo uit Hindoestanen, 17,6 % uit Indonesiers, voor 1,2 % uit Chinezen, 1,3 % uit Europeanen, 1,7 % uit Indianen en 1 % uit overige landaarden (rassen) bestaat, dan mag men hieruit de conclusie trekken dat tot voor korte tijd grote bevolkingsgroepen uit verschillende delen van de wereld Suriname zijn binnengekomen. -

Ritzemaa)2, F.P. Witmera), S. Naipalb) a) Wageningen University, Wageningen, The Netherlands b) Anton de Kom University, Paramaribo, Surinam. Abstract In Surinam, the contribution of the exploitation of the natural resources (minerals and forest products) is gradually decreasing. Subsequently, the agricultural sector (mainly the rice sector) becomes more important for the national income and food security. The rice sector, however, has become less competitive as the knowledge on recent developments in cultivation practices and land & water management is poor; the organization of the operation and maintenance is fragmentized; the infrastructure has been neglected, and; vocational education facilities in the Nickerie district, the main rice cultivation district, are lacking. For sustainable development appropriate land and water development strategies have to be developed. A collaborative research project was initiated to develop recommendations how to improve the water management systems, both a field and system level. At field level, the effect of land levelling was studied in farmers’ fields in four representative polders. The results show that variation in micro-relief in the paddy fields is quite pronounced resulting in a variation in the depth of the standing water up to 0.35m. Subsequently more than 25% of an average field is either too wet or too dry resulting in yield reduction. In a levelled field, water savings were negligible but, due to a more uniform layer of standing water, a yield increase from 1.8 to 2.6 t/ha was observed. -
