"The Josephine Porter Institute for Applied Biodynamics Inc was founded to produce quality Bbiodynamic agricultural preparations based on the spiritual-scientific research of Rudolf Steiner." This issue contains detailed instructions by editor Patricia Smith on the making of BD compost prep #502, the yarrow prep. It also contains and aricle on yarrow esoterica by Hugh Courtney, who, according to this issue, has just turned 70 years of age. Also included is Christy Korrow's report on prep making at Dogwood Spring Farm. Maria Thun's "Gardening for Life" is also reviewed this issue. From the "back" cover: "In a word, like sympathetic peple in human society, who have a favourable influence by their mere presence and not by anything they say, so yarrow, in a district where it is plentiful, works beneficially by its mere presence." R. Steiner, Agriculture p. 92
