and equipment, in interest and depreci-
alton, supplies, wages and the expense
of selling the butter. In the end it al
comes out of the butterfat price or In
aaer ways out Of the pockets of the
farmers, regardless of the creamery
system they patronize. This expense
is never shown in full on the daily
monthly or annual statement to the
patrons, but it is there and goes On
and on just the same. The farmer
pays it all the time, in every cream
cry, everywhere.
Trustee for Creamery Patrons
Blue Valley recognizes that in the
matter of expense we are really acting
as trustee for our patrons, because it
is their money that pays the expense
all the time. So from the very begin
ming we have reduced this expense
wherever we could-by working out
shortcuts in manufacture, in account
ing, and in other creamery work; by
securing a large volume of business
at each Blue Valley factory and by
adjusting our methods of buying
cream so as to make the patrons ex-
pense in delivering it as low as pos
sible.
For instance, when Blue Valley
started the hand separator system, as
told last week, we made an enormous
saving of expense to the farmers. 1t
relieved them forever after of hauling
all the bulky whole milk and skim
milk from and to their farms. Right
there was one expense in the cream
cry business, great as it was, that
never was shown on any creamery
statement to the patrons, because they
The Sauk Centre herald. (Sauk Centre, Stearns County, Minn.) 1886-current, 1923-01-18

The lower the expenses of a cream
cry, the higher will be the butterfat
prices it can pay its patrons, other
things being equal. To reduce these
expenses to the very. lowest possible
level and still give better service than
ANYBODY else, is another Blue Valley
principle that was developed early In
the history of the Blue Valley organ
ization and has been practiced by Blue
Valley every day since.
In the telling of the history OF the
Blue Valley Creamery Co. we have
already shown you the very early de-
yelopment of the Blue Valley system
of selling Blue Valley package butter
direct to the retailers, thereby cutting
out the middlemen in the butter
markets and all their expenses and
profits and preventing all the other
losses "a creamery and it's patrons sui
fer, when it's butter is shipped in un-
labeled tubs to the great markets. BY
cutting out all this, higher price was
and is obtained, and Blue Valley could
and does pay it's patrons a higher
price for butterfat, all according to
the quality of the cream received.
But this higher price for butterfat
is not entirely due to the higher price
at which Blue Valley package butter
sells. 1t is also due to the much lower
expense per pound of butter manufac-
tured by the whole Blue Valley
Creamery System. This creamery ex-
pense starts when the milk or cream
leaves the farm and doesn't end till
the butter is sold. 1t includes all ex-
penses connected with the purchase OF
the milk or cream by the creamery,
the investment in creamery buildings

dental shooting of Albert Hanswick
at his home on the north shore of
Lake Henry shortly before six o'clock
cast pail of sadness over this COM
munity Sunday evening.
Saturday the Hanswick boys
bought a 20 calibre Savage repeating
rifle from Guy Preston and Sunday
afternoon went in the woods hunting.
On their return home about 5:45
o'clock they were examining the gun
in the kitchen, supposing it was
empty. One shell, however, remained
in the barrel, and while the rifle was
in the hands of his brother, Hjalmer
it accidentlly discharged and the
shell entered the left side OF Albert's
head just above the ear.
A physician was 1urriedly summon
ed and arrived there very soon after
but nothing could be done and the
unfortunate boy passed away at sew
en- o'clock without ever regainine
consciousess.-Long Prairie Leader.
Aged Woman Is Burned To Death
Mrs. Katherine Mega was burned tt
death early last Saturday morning
! Mrs. Mega lived alone in log house
near the Chas. Philipsek home west Of
town. The origin of the fire is un
known. At about / o'clock neighbors
noticed flames and hurried to the
scene, but it had gained such headway
it was impossible for them to go in.
Neighbors believe that the bed or
which Mrs. Mega slept on the first
floor caught fire after nearby stove

However, when these other cream
cries began to buy hand separator
cream and tried to get it shipped to
them in competition with the Blue
Valley creamery at St. Joseph, they
found our patrons so well satlsIled
with the treatment and prices received
that is was hard to make them change.
Something special had to be done, and
so these creameries began to appoint
agents in all the small towns to buy
cream for them, usually on a commits
sion of several cents per pound OF but
terfat. Inasmuch as no cream agent
could get cream enough down in thar
country to make living, he had to be
a storekeeper or in some other busl-
hess.
More and more of these agents were
appointed and naturally they got con-
siderable business for the creameries
using them. Each one was well known
in his community, had following OF
his own and an opportunity to meet
all the farmers in person. The farmers
patronizing them could see the cream
weighed and tested, while those ship
ping to Blue Valley had to trust us for
weights and tests.
Cream agents." not Cream
stations"
We call them cream agents, be-
cause in our opinion the popular term
of cream "station" is too good name
for them. You might as well call the
book agent book store. A man
didn't then and does not now need a
station" of any kind to be a cream
agent and buy cream. All he needed
was hole in the wall, or little space
in the back of any kind Of a shop,
scales, cream tester, few cream cans
and a little warm water, and mighty
little of that, judging from the looks

Blue Valley Cuts Outs this Middleman
Too

This is only one way in which the
cream agent system is expensive to
farmers. Like all other systems of
mlddlemen in the dairy business, it
Is expensive to the farmers in MANY
other ways and eats up all the pro-
hts from dairying.
Blue Valleys early and brief exper-
lence with that system convinced us
that no creamery system can pay the
farmers a price for cream profitable
to them with those, middlemen in be-
tween, any more than it can with all
the middlemen in the butter markets.
Our observations since then have
amply justif ed that conviction.
Blue Valley cut out the cream
agents just as quickly as we could and
have never since had any of them. We
buy cream only direct from each in
dividual farmer, just as we sell Blue
Valley package butter direct to the
retailers. Only by cutting out all mid
dlemen at both ends, can a creamery
provide its patrons that direct and
improved market which they must
have to milk cows at profit. But
more of this part of Blue Valleys

Of ships went up in the air and
threw a smoke barrier around the
