June 1975 GRICULTURE.FOO M Bar W Ranch Leslie Wildesen 19537 NE U4th St. Brush Prairie, Wash. 98606 We are the M Bar W Ranch, just northeast of Vancouver. We specialize in organic products for the organic gardener, red worms for increasing soil aeration (even in terrariums and other small indoor gardens or rooftop vegetable gardens) and nice rich compost in large or small quantities. We are also looking for people to grow worms for us. Brochures and price lists on request. Buying Clubs Ron Long 1722 N 46th Seattle, Wash. 98103 Ron Long and Heidi Bodding of Seattle's Metrocenter YMCA have written and published an excellent booklet on how to join up with neighbors to form a cooperative food buying club (or food conspiracy if you prefer). It doesn't seem to have a title (our copy doesn't have one, at least), but it does have some very good suggestions on organizing, ordering, bookkeeping; most everything a group would need to know to get started right. 22 pages, and they need a dollar if you have one. Almost half of U.S. households (47 percent, or approximately 3 3 million, had some kind of vegetable garden in 1974. The primary reason given for planting a vegetable garden is economic, the Gallup survey revealed. Of all new gardeners surveyed in I974,46 percent gave "helps budget/saves money" as the most important reason. sixteen percent gave "for fun/joy of it" as the most important reason. In third place was "better tasting food," given by only 7 percent as the most important reason. The Gallup survey showed that the proportion of young people under age 30, and those with a college education who had vegetable gardens increased by 13 percent betwe€n 197 I and 1974. Among white households there has been a 9 percent increase in the proportion with vegetable gardens, while virtually no change has occurred among non-white households. Participation by families with incomes under $4000 declined by 3 percentage points in the three-year period 1971-1974.There has been a 17 percent increase in the proportion of professional households with vegetable gardens. Nutrttion Action Center for Science in the Public Interest 1779 Church St. Washington, D.C.20036 Seems that Food Day was an idea whose time had come. We've heard directly and indirectly about numerous projects that got their initial push through the Food Day activities. The Center is going to keep people in touch via Nuftition Action newsletter at $10/yr. Published for Food Day, also by CSPI,.is Food for People, Not for Profit, Ballantine Books, $1.95. Recommended as a guide to the politics and economics of food distribution in America. A couple of years ago CSPI published Nutrition Scoreboard, your guide to better eating. $2.50. A very interesting analysis/scoring of foods we eat, along with introductory material on vitamins, minerals, additives, etc. City People\ Book of Raising Food Helga, William Olkowski Rodale Press 3 3 E Minoer Emmaus, Pa. 18049 $4.95. With usual Rodale quality, a good holding hand book for city dwellers. Options, newsletter of the Corvallis Universalist Food and Famine Study Group 302 Conifer NE Corvallis, Or. 97 33O Group working locally to encourage lower energy use lifestyles, public awareness of world food production & problems. page 3 Methods of Agricultaral Land Preseroation, William H. Gray Cooperative Extension Service Washington State University Pullman, Wa.99163 Feb. 1975 (EM 3906). Single copies free. Review of existing and proposed alternatives with evaluation of pros and cons. (Suggested by Mark Musick) The People's Land, ed, Peter Barnes Rodale Press Organic Park Emmaus, Pa. 18049 $6.95. Establishing that more than 60% of the private land in this country is owned by only 5% of the population, The People's Land presents historical, contemporary and regional perspectives on land holding patterns in the U.S. and explores in some depth some of the possible alternative institutions and policies that can create a more equitable system of land tenure: co-ops, farmworkers' unions, anti-corporate farm laws, land trusts, and many others. (Suggested by Mark Musick) 1974 Handbook of Agricuhural Cbarts Agriculture Handbook No. 477 U.S. Dept. of Agriculture Washington, D.C.2O250 Almost a textbook on charts in general. 160 pages of them, with attached in detail data on things like: quantities of pesticides used by farmers; sources of U.S. food; net out migration from farms; market shares for hamburger, lean ground beef and soy ground beef. You can also purchase photo slides of the charts for about 30d each.

March 1973, 174pgs., $2.10 from: Superintendent of Documents U.S. Government Printing Office Washington, D.C.2O4O2 Without changes in life-style, 2l to 35% energy savings possible, depending on design modifications which take 1 to 5 years for pay-back. Latest in application of building mechanical system computer programs to the American home, air changes, infiltration, stack effect, internal load, solar gain and loss. Hittman, with Dubin-Mindell-Bloome (NYC), is one of few engineering-architectural firms in the nation with practical energy conservation results in the 4O-60% range for office buildings. This study shows that 1O-2O% energy savings is child's play. AUDIO VISUAL Northwest Media Project P.O.

Continued on page 8 CIRCT, the Center for Innovation and Research in Cable Television, is an outgrowth of the ECO-NET video project of the Environmental Education Center and OMSI. We receive funding from the Northwest Area Foundation to develop new methods of community-based programming on local cable television systems. Currently we are providing assistance to school and community groups using half-inch video gear to originate programs on one cable system in Portland and are working with the operator of the other major system in the city to create a locally-accessible channel on that cable by summer's end. We share space with the Center for Urban Education (one of our co-sponsors, along with OMSI, the City of Portland and the Portland Public Schools) and are working together on a number of current productions, including local ethnic history tapes, a "how-to" tape on oral history and one on improving communication on neighborhood-to-neighborhood and neighborhood-to-city leveis. CIRCT will be available as an exchange center for cable and video information on both a local and regional basis. A print and microfiche library accessible to anyone interested in cabie television and video uses is planned-some print materials and videotapes are currently available. The Cooperative Video Catalogue produced by ECO-NET is one item now available through CIRCT. Anyone who would like a co copy or has information to share for an updated, revised version can contact us at the address or phone number below. (A catalogue of video users in Oregon is currently available from the Bulletin Office, OSU Industrial Building, Corvallis, Oregon. Copies are also available through CIRCT.) Local showings of video works at CIRCT will begin at 8:00 PM, July 7, with a series of eight Monday night viewings of films and tapes exploring paraliel themes.

Could be used as a guide for thinking through resources of most communities. (Write to me if you wish a copy of contents, to save Chuck Davis, editor, for catalog work.) There are other ways to find out about a city and in the process make your own red phone book/index card fileor maybe you can put all your cards into one basket, or at least a friend's or neighbor's.

Along with Finding Facts Fast (reviewed in this issue) you should be able to find your way into a library's best resources. Putting Together a People's Yellou Pages Vocations for Social Change 353 Broadway Cambridge, Ma O2139 50d Some Hints: 1) Grab some things with indexes (such as a Sears catalog, phone company yellow pages, Dewey Decimal catalog, other People's Yeliow Pages, Whole Earth Catalog). Make a list of which things you want to find out about. 2) Take stock of what you do know, with help of friends and a map of the area you're working with. 3) Find out what resource guides exist. Check with local United Good Neighbors-is there a social service coordinating agency? Hotline and crisis centers often have extensive file systems. Think of the various agencies that may have compiled lists for "in office" use. (It is best to assume there is a list, maybe partiai or outdated, for most any subject you're trying to access.) Easter Seal Society, Welfare, Community Health Nursing Associations, Legal Aid, are all likely to have lists and/or directories. 4) Library. That is where you'll find lots of what you need. Make a list of periodicals/newspapers in your area by checking in the library (double check by touring any bookstore, etc.) If possible, subscribe to several and clip and index. And don't forget newsletters. Many are free or near free and will help keep you up to date. Also at the library, go through reference book section finding such things as state manufacturing guides, checklist of state publications, other national and local directories. (lf your library is small, ask the librarian about the state library or interlibrary 1oan.) Continued on page 8 Important: we know more than we think we know

June 1975 Page 1 1 "Our Promised Land," Soutbern Exposure, Vol. II, No. 2 & 3,225 pages, $3.50 ($8 for four issue subscription). P.O. Box 230 Chapel Hill, N.C. 27514 The South is one of the last regions in the country where the land is still acknowledged to be the foundation of all life. There are closer ties to an agrarian past ttrin in other areas. A large percentage of the population still clings to their rural iand. It is one of the few places where urban sprawl has not completely taken over. At least not yet. As in so many things, the South is taking steps toward the same destructive acts that the rest of the country has already made. Yet at the same time, there are projects and individuals in the South which could help establish directions for the nationThe issue includes 65 pages of research information on ownership of Southern land. The growth of agribusiness and oil, coal and tiinber companies is documented. Feature articles describe a 5,7OO acre cooperative family community in Georgia, North Carolina's Graham Center, where Southern poor farmers are being raught organic farming techniques, the loss of black-owned land, Appalachian Mountain development, Indian lands, urban alternatives.

Topopbilia, A Study of Enaironmental Perception, Attitudes & Values, Yi-Fu Tuan, Prentice Hall, 95.50. Topophilia or "love of place," traces the borderland between perception and environment through discussions of maps, ethnocentrism, visitor and native, challenge of harsh environments, cyclical time and linear time, the automobile city' Los Angeles. . . . "The earth's surface is highly varied. Even a casual acquaintance with its physical geography and teeming life forms telis us much. But the wivs in which people perceive and evaluate that surface are far more varied. No two persons see the same reality. No two social groups make precisely the same evaluation of the environment. The scientific view itself is culture-bound-one possible perspective among many." An Eoeryday History of Somezubere, as written down by Ray Raphael, Alfred A. Knopf, 1974, fi7.95. A very nice informal history of people and places in Northern California. Including natural history. Fine pen and ink illustrations. ( L.D.) Briarpdtch Reztiew, a journal of right livelihood & sharing-based economics 330 Ellis St. San Francisco, Ca. 941O2 "Briarpatch society consists of people learning to live with joy in the cracks. And especially, if you see yourself as part of a group that is more committed to "learning how the world works" than to acquiring possessions and status, then you must be a briar." Content-wise, Briarpatch reminds me of Vonulife, which was published until recently between Grants pass, Oregon and north of San Francisco, as a vehicle of communication hetween local nomadics.

Cape Elizabeth, Maine 04107 These three issues, Economics, Technology & Celestial Influence; Regions & Locales; and Space, through poems, interviews, essays, photos, journals, circumscribe a sense of place recognizable by both poet and scientist. ". . . in terms of efficient and elegant associations of natural systems, the sort that men are going to have to, and want to, live in the long run (if there's going to be a condition of harmonious growth rather than outrageous growth) requires this kind of knowledge, that people have to learn a sense of region, and what is possible within a region, rather than indefinitely assuming that a kind of promiscuous distribution of goods and Iong range rransportation is always going to be possible . . . since the energy resources apparenrly won't be there, quite likely won't be there."
