Via ProQuest Historical Newspapers. 1 page., Letter to the editor doubts the accuracy of a poll announced in the Farm Journal magazine indicating that Governor Landon was gaining throughout the West. Reason: Farm Journal is owned by Joseph N. Pew, Jr., vice president of the Sun Oil Company. "The Pew family has been a heavy contributor to the Liberty League and Mr. Pew himself was shown to have contributed at least $2,000 to the Farmers Independence Council."

16 pages, via online journal, Sugarcane expansion in Brazil during the 2000s was partly restricted by several discussions about the sustainability aspects of its cultivation. These discussions were mainly based on surveys that sometimes use highly aggregated data not including local perspectives and particularities, and sometimes used case studies with small samples which, while listening to local perspectives, cannot be considered representative of the whole sector. This work aims at filling this gap by considering both the perceptions of the local community, which add primary data on impact, and a large sample, to increase the research representativeness. To do so, we present the results of 353 interviews, covering 33 municipalities in five states of the Center-South region of Brazil (the largest cultivation area in the country). The results show that the expansion of biofuels has generated conflict mostly related to environmental and social issues, although there is good acceptance of the sugarcane mills in general. Our conclusions point to the importance of including local voices for a deeper understanding of the advantages and limitations of the expansion of biofuels.
