[Sca-cooks] How much land to feed a person

[Micheal]

 There was a book that I have been looking for again on surviving on 5 acres 
out back in the 60-70s , during the height of the back to earth movement. 
But that has little bearing here. As most of the methods used modern farming 
methods. Such things as which types of birds, and animals were best to raise 
for food . Whether it was better to buy young ones in the spring and butcher 
them in the fall or not. Sections on Fruit trees and gardens that are most 
useful.  Would help if I could remember the authors name
