" " The researcher, OSU anth- .ropologigt Johrt A. Young, said he has that Impression ftfter V many hours studying the lives Vof 44 residents of rural Polk V County as part of a project to ' assess the resources, . needs and goals of small-scale farmers., ' "Most of them aren't the counterculture types people seem to think," said Young. "It's more of a mainstream, Ail-American value, system they have.. .a work ethic, ft" frontier ethic. Almost all of. those we interviewed grew up ' on farm and value their' v.; independence-self -sufficien- f cy-above all. Many of them went back to farming alter a number of years in other occupations." Young and graduate re--searcher Peter Caday, who : recently published a report on their ' work, went to Polk County in the summer of 1978 part of a five-state study coordinated by the Western Rural Development Center, a federally funded regional or gan! tation based at OSU. When selecting persons to study, the researchers rea- -soned that part-time farmers with relatively high nonfarm incomes (such as doctors and lawyers) would not be as likely to suffer acutely from farming difflculities. ' They . decided to focus their , study Only on persons with nonfarm Incomes below $20,000 a year and gross farm product sales tobakNttict . MOPPOW COUNTY CHOOtOIITPlCT ' ' P O.

Then they set about criss crossing the Coast Range hills and Willamette Valley flat . lands of Poik County, west of Salem, to sample small farm ers' ideas. "The question of what is a small farmer has been kicked around a lot in Oregon and just about every state," said Young, recalling his three months of interviewing. "I would define a small-scale fanner in Polk County not by any demographic attributes but by how he goes about it his goals, his strategies." "Money Is important, of course," he said. "But most of those we interviewed were helping support themselves .with outside jobs. They had $10,000 or $12,000 in outside , 'income. They farmed for the way of life." Young said four general types of small-scale farmers emerged from an analysis of questionnaires filled out by the 44 farmers: -Part-time farm operators with a relatively low time commitment to farm work and heavy reliance on non farm incomes! -Persons whose strategies resemble those of large-scale farmers. -Alternative farmers who are practicing organic and other nonconventional ways of farming. Retirees and older persons restricted in their capacity to : farm commercially and - to support themselves by work ing off the farm. .rf . How did the 44 see their future? Young said about three fourths thought opportunities for small farmers would decrease. They cited obstacles Buch as an intrusion on their land base caused by zoning laws and rising property taxes, low and widely fluctua ting agricultural prices, prob lems with weeds and pests, unforeseen injuries or health problems and public agencies they think are "at cross-purposes or over-regulating." ' In their report. Young and Caday suggest assistance pro- grams for small-scale farm ers include goals such as re-examining zoning ordinan ces; developing low -cost tech nology and farming methods such as alternative energy systems; and identifying lab or intensive, high quality products smell farmers could PifbBcNotict roMLaVl NOTICE Of BUDGET HEARINO kmrnt-fj.

Gasoline consumption seen down Oregon Department of Energy preliminary figures for April 1980 indicate that gasoline consumption in Ore gon tumbled for the 13th consecutive month with a decline of about 6 percent or approximately 6.9 million gal lons from consumption in April 1979. This drop is of significance because it was in April 1979 that Oregonians started to cut down their gasoline consump tion in response to the Iranian crisis. In Portland and Medford, gasoline prices have dropped .5 to three cents a gallon for regular, unleaded and prem ium. Prices remained relativ ely stable in Astoria and rose an average of one cent a gallon in Pendleton. Gasoline prices for major brand regular in Portland have increased 72 percent between January 1979 and May 1980. Average monthly increases during this period have been 3.2 percent. Oregon gasohol consists of a mixture of 90 percent gasoline and 10 percent ethanol or methanol (ethanol being the most common). There are 19 retail outlets selling gasohol, primarily in the Portland metropolitan area. The aver age price of unleaded gasohol is $1 28 a gallon. an iaUiatit at
