Agpro, Inc. has announced a manure solids separator,
•Bova Sieve,” that can be used with most liquid manure
pumps. 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. For more information of

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

Mrs. Parker wrote that
“More people should get
their hands soiled in a
backyard garden and leam
what it takes to produce
food. 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.
