About Blue Valley
Type of Farming and Butterfat Prices

standing the efforts made to hide it
from the farmers here.
In thinly cow populated territory
cream cannot reach the creameries in
the same fine condition as in territory
of heavy cream production. The quail
ity of the cream determines to a
large extent the quality of the butter
made from it. That again determines
the sale price in the ordinary course
of wholesale butter marketing. The
butter sales price of necessity deter
mines the butterfat price.
That the type of farming which is
always dictated by soil and climate,
has lot to do with the quality of the
cream and butter (and so with the
butterfat price, is admitted very
frankly by Mr.. Berry H. Akers, as
sociate editor of The Farmer, St.
Paul. In the April 21st issue of
that paper Mr.. Akers expresses the
opinion that the high quality of
standards of butter of Minnesota,
Iowa and Wisconsin cannot be
reached by most of the creameries in
Ohio, Illinois and Indiana, not even
by the cooperative centralizers.

Why Not Minnesota Quality Every
where?
Why not Minnesota quality every
where? Why not Minnesota prices
everywhere? Why not by the co-ope-
rative centralizers? They are CO.
operative. Why not by the bulk of the
creameries in such states as Ohio,
Indiana, Illinois and other states Mr..
Akers might have mentioned?
According to the people who are
trying to prejudice you against the
Blue Valley Sweet Cream Creamery
here in Sank Centre by quoting oc-
casional lower Blue Valley butterfat
prices from points in those states, it
should be no trick at all to get just
as good cream there as here, and so
pay just as high prices at all times.
According to them, Blue Valley and
not the quality of the cream, is in
some mysterious way the cause of the
comparatively lower butterfat prices
in those states.
Mr.. Akers, of The Farmer, of
course knows that the quality of
cream in those states is not the same
as in the dairy sections of Minnesota.
When he says that the bulk of the
creameries there cannot attain ,..e

A TALK WITH A SAUK CENTRE
MAN

Mr.. Louis Jackson, proprietor of
feed store of 200 Oak street tells of
his experience.
There is othing like talk with one
of our own citizens for giving hope
and encouragement to the anxious
sufferer from the dread kidney di-
sease. We, therefore, give here an
Interview with Sank Centre man:
Whenever my kidneys have be-
come the least bit out of order, l
have always resorted to Doan's Kid
rey Pills and on each occasion they
have given good results" says Mr..
Jackson. "a short time ago nv kid
neys weren't acting properly and they
were little weak. l had to pass the
secretions quite often during the
night and this caused annoyance. Ny
back panied and dizzy spells came on.

Get All the Facts

Blue Valley has succeeded in serv-
ing farmers in all these states where
the cow population per square mile is
far less than in Stearns County, bet
ter than any other creamery system.
The steady increase in number of
Blue Valley cream shippers and in
cream receipts proves it. ~
We have done so because of better
factory methods whereby great uni
formity and keeping quality in Blue
Valley butter have been produced.
and because of our much superior
butter selling system. Blue Valley
butter is sold only in trade-marked
packages direct to retailers. All this
combined has made Blue Valley the
best known brand of butter in Amer
lea today. Blue Valley patrons
everywhere get the benefit of Blue
Valley buffers standing.
So will the farmers who choose to
sell cream to the Blue Valley Sweet
cream Creamery in Sank Centre.
Ihey Will also get the benefit of our
long creamery experience under con-
dltlons very unfavorable as compared
with those of Stearns County. Espe-
c!ally Will they get the benefit of our
dlrect butter marketing organization.
On top OF that they will get the high
price Tor sweet cream which their
mgh COW population per square mile
makes it practical and profitable for
them to produce.
be sure to try out the Blue Valley
sweet Cream Creamery for yourself,
when it opens for business within
another month. Don't be bluffed with,
statements that give you only half
OF the facts. You are entitled to know
them all.

for butter production is really con-
siderably less than 3O.1 head.
Quite different from Stearns
County with it's ST. per acre, when
you come to think of it!
Three to One
In some of the states where Blue
Valley has creameries and completes
with other creameries in serving the
farmers, conditions are still more
unfavorable, as compared with
Stearns County.
In Missouri Blue Valley has three
creameries. The state has 1916 head
of dairy cattle per square mile. In
Kentucky Blue Valley has one cream
cry. That state has 1876 head per
square mile.
Both states have less dairy cattle
per square mile than Traverse Coun-
ty, Minnesota. That county, as you
will remember, paid II IA cents less
than Stearns County for butterfat in
1921. 1t wasn't the difference in own
ership of the creameries that caused
this difference, for the Traverse
County creameries were cooperative.

er cow population per square mile?
The same influence exerts itself in
Kentucky and Missouri, though not
to the same extent, because the
cream shipping system adopted there
is better suited to the type OF. farming
in those states than is the local cream
cry system to Clearwater County. In
this connection it is interesting to
note that Missouri has Bis beef cat
tie for every 1916 dairy cattle, show
ing very clearly the conditions which
the creamery industry in that state
has to contend with.
Stearns County has just about
three times as many dairy cattle per
square mile as Missouri. Would you
still expect any creamery system to
be able to pay the Missouri farmers
as high a price for butterfat as the
best creameries in Stearns County?
Do you believe local creameries could
pay the farmers more in those states
with their very low cow population
per acre?
The Sauk Centre herald. (Sauk Centre, Stearns County, Minn.) 1886-current, 1923-05-10

The COW census and price statistics
of seven Minnesota counties quoted
in this space last week showed very
clearly the definite relationship that
exists between type of farming and
butterfat prices.
In all of these seven Minnesota
counties the type of creamery system
that predominates is the local and
cooperative, so it is not a difference
in creamery systems or creamery
ownership that caused the big differ
ence of over ID cents in the butter
fat price for 1921 between the high
est and lowest paying county.
The cause lies in the number of
dairy cattle per square mile, and that
again is determined by the type of
farming that prevails.
That too is the main reason for
whatever difference there may be in
butterfat prices paid in the best dairy
sections of Minnesota and those paid
in other states-by Blue Valley or by
cooperative central plants or by any
body else.

Four Times More Here

Now, take Kansas. Blue Valley has
one creamery there and a good deal
of Kansas cream goes to Blue Valley
creameries in Missouri.
Kansas has 1871 head of dairy cat
tie per square mile, as compared with
ST. in Stearns County. There is one
head of dairy stock in Kansas for
every 48.8 acres, as against one head
for every 11.2 in Stearns County and
one for every 1852 acres in all of
Minnesota.
Even Murray County, Minnesota,
has almost twice as much dairy stock
per square mile as Kansas. Murray
County paid IA cents less than
Stearns for butterfat in 1921, with
all its creameries cooperative. Do you
still believe any creamery system
could pay the Kansas farmers keep
ing only about half as many dairy
cows as those of Murray County,
much more for butterfat?
Or as much as Stearns County
which has over four times as much
dairy stock per square mile as
Kansas?

To Their Memory

In addition to suitable observance
of Memorial Day throughout the ma
ton, is the Legion's aim to complete
the fund which will insure decoration
of 32,587 graves of comrades buried
overseas, not only on this Memorial
Day but on all Memorial Days to
come. Less than half of Minnesota
share of $4,000 has been contribut-
ed but posts, auxiliary units, Legion
aires, citizens and other organiza-
tions are daily adding to the funds
collected. A Flanders blood-red pop
py over each heart on May 30th is
another goal of the Legion and Aux
Hilary. While the manufacture of
these peoples by disabled veterans in
hospital under Legion auspices will
help these comrades, the primary
ideal is to honor the memory" of
those who gave all for their country.

One Head Per 60 Acre Farm

Isolated Blue Valley prices in Neb-
raska have been quoted in an effort
to keep the farmers here from getting
the advantages of the Blue Valley
Sweet Cream Creamery and of the
cream competition it will create in
the Sank Centre territory.
Blue Valley has one creamery in
Nebraska, but nearby Blue Valley
creameries in other states are also
serving many Nebraska farmers. The
state has 1914 head of dairy cattle per
square mile. Stearns County has over
five times as many.
They don't tell you that, when they
compare Blue Valley prices paid in
Nebraska with the prices paid in the
heaviest producing territory in Min
nesota.
1t takes 61.2 acres of land in Neb-
raska to support either a dairy calf,
or dairy heifer, or a dairy COW, or
a bull-a whole sixty-acre farm. In
The Sauk Centre herald. (Sauk Centre, Stearns County, Minn.) 1886-current, 1923-05-10

Ohio, according to U. S. Census,
has 36.7 head of dairy cattle per
square mile, about the same as Clear
water County, Minnesota, which has
35.7. Stearns County has ST. head
per square mile. Clearwater County
in 1921 paid 8 3-4 cents less than
Stearns County for butterfat. It's
creameries were all cooperative but
its cow population per square mile
was much lower.
There are two Blue Valley cream
cries in Ohio. The lower COW popula-
ton per square mile in Clearwater
County is the real reason for the low
er butterfat price there, just as it is
the reason for Stearns County paying
over cents less than Carver County
where there are 99.1 head per square
mile.
Don't you think the same differ
ence influences butterfat prices in
Ohio as compared with Stearns
County? Especially so, because Ohio
has several large cities and much of
the milk production goes there, leav-
ing that much less for the creameries.
The Sauk Centre herald. (Sauk Centre, Stearns County, Minn.) 1886-current, 1923-05-10
Indiana's Cow Population

Indiana is another state mentioned
by Mr.. Akers. Blue Valley has one
creamery there. The COW population
per square mile of land in farms is
%. 7, less than Norman County, Min
nesota, where it is 1913.
Norman County paid almost z
cents less than Stearns for butter fat
in 1921. Its creameries were all CO.
operative, but that fact couldn't over
come the influence Of the much low
er COW population. Is there any reason
why it should do so in Indiana?
Illinois, where Blue Valley cream
cries serve good many farmers, has
30.1 head of dairy cattle per square
mile, just trifle more than Norman
County. But 67.8 per cent of the pop
ulation in Illinois lives in cities and
towns as compared with 44.0 per cent
in Minnesota, which means that
much greater percentage of the total
dairy production is consumed as milk
and does not go into butter. Hence,
the cow population per square mile
The Sauk Centre herald. (Sauk Centre, Stearns County, Minn.) 1886-current, 1923-05-10

high standard of Minnesota but
ter, he admits that the type of farm
ing there is very different and that
it controls the quality of the cream
and, consequently, also to large ex-
tent the price of butterfat.
The Sauk Centre herald. (Sauk Centre, Stearns County, Minn.) 1886-current, 1923-05-10

Stearns County it takes only liz
acres. When you have this knowledge,
nobody need tell you that the cream
cry system that meets the needs of
Stearns County would fail miserably
in Nebraska, and that the big differ
ence in cow population has great
deal to do with whatever difference
there may be in butterfat prices.
The Sauk Centre herald. (Sauk Centre, Stearns County, Minn.) 1886-current, 1923-05-10
What Tells the Story

That the conditions under which
cream is produced and gets to the
creameries in the states where Blue
Valley so far has served the farmers,
are very different from Stearns
County conditions, is also well shown
by the latest U. S. Census, of 1920.
The census figures on dairy cattle
per square mile and comparison
with the same figures of Minnesota
tell the story. They also show that
Blue Valley prices in those states
have no bearing whatever on the
value of the Blue Valley Sweet
Cream Creamery to the dairy farm
ers of this section of Minnesota.
Take particular notice of these fig
ures and then decide for yourself the
real motive for the efforts that have
been made to prejudice you against
Blue Valley.
