The Bova Sieve separates the solids from manure slurry allowing the solids to be reused. With the heavy solids removed, the remaining liquid waste becomes quite easy to handle in pumps and is frequently spread back on cropland. Primary use of the reclaimed fiber has been for freestall bedding A company spokesman states that the material is clean, stable, relatively odorless and a very suitable bedding material. Other uses are- nursery mulch, organic soil con ditioner, or as a feed supplement.

APIC also m..ue !o $5O awards during the past year to writers judged as quarter finalist winners, and another 100 entrants submitting letters received cash awards. Purpose of the competition was to assist those involved in farming build a strong sounding board which they need to focus national at tention on the agriculture’s problems and opportunities. The APIC worked closely with the farm press across the nation to encourage letters on all topics affecting agriculture in today’s economic climate. The three winning letter writers placed heavy em phasis on the fact that the American famer is not the one responsible for the high food prices that so plague the nation. Wrote Mr. Gray: “The city dweller or non-farmer is not the only person who has to cope with high prices... the farmer may earn more now, but in the last 50 years our wages have not increased four to five tunes as great as have the wages of the non farmer. ..” In her award winner letter Mrs. McClellan noted: “When a city dweller sees the farm equipment on a farm, he thinks that the farmer must have lots of money - he has to make such PUBLIC SALE OF FARM MACHINERY AND HOLSTEIN HEIFERS 1 Mile South of Quarryville along Route 222 FRIDAY, MARCH 15, 11 A.M. 13 Reg. and 2 Grade Holstein Heifers All bred for summer and fall Ivanhoe granddaughter from 138,000 lifetime dam Milk & Honey, Lila Hope, Bonus, Stelmg Dale Pioneer Admiral, and others Bred ar tificially and to home bull These heifers are all from John’s good dairy Well grown.

People are depending on an inflated dollar to bring food to their tables...” L. F. Czufin, Chevron Chemical Company, and founder of APIC, said the organization’s goal is to make certain that Secretary of Agriculture Earl Butz, senators, congressmen and members of House and Senate Agriculture Com mittees are aware of the voice of the American far mer. Throughout the contest APIC encouraged writers to forward copies of their letters to their legislative representatives. Czufin said APIC was highly encouraged by the response to the competition. “The gentle prod of modest cash awards has encouraged farmers and farm wives to ‘Speak Out’.” He said agriculture has been silent too long. “APIC provides a vehicle for agriculture to bring its views before urban dwellers as well as federal and state legislative leaders.” Czufm concluded by ex pressing appreciation to the nation’s farm press for their whole-hearted support of the APIC program.
