only too anxious to do so. They have
come up through the Blue Valley
organization to the positions they
hold. They are thoroughly trained in
practical creamery work and manage
ment, many of them are graduates OF
agricultural colleges and all of them
high class men, imbued with the spirit
of loyalty to dairying and to Blue
Valley ideals and principles.
Needless to say, Professor Hunziker
has their full cooperation in every
detail of this part of the Blue Valley
organizations work.
All Manufacture Supervised
Every step in every churning of
butter in every Blue Valley creamery
from the time the cream is receives
until the butter is packed, is recorded
on report blanks, together with all
tests made. A duplicate of every
such report is forwarded to the head
office of Blue Valley, where it is
scrutinized and checked.
The butter from every churning in
every Blue Valley creamery is also
subjected to chemical analysis. before
it is released for the Blue Valley but
ter market.
AS further precaution against
mistakes or negligence, and as a
means of check ng up on the effici-
ency of Blue Valley manufacturing
methods, samples of the butter are

Scientific Leadership

Blue Valley maintains it's own
large research laboratory where Blue
Valley manufacturing methods are
devel~ ped scientifically and from
where all the ALTERNATING and other
practical creamery work is supervised.
The laboratory is in charge of Pro-
fessor o. F. Hunziker, who is also
director Of the butter manufacturing
department of the Blue Valley Cream
cry Co. Professor Hunziker, previous
to his acceptance of these important
Blue Valley posts in 1916, was chief
of the dairy department Of the Purdue
University, Indiana. His research
work had already then earned for him
very high standing as a scientific
authority on all matters pertaining to
dairy manufacture, especially milk
and cream pasteurizatlon and the
manufacture of butter and condensed
milk.

At the March 2-3 meetings, small
committee was named to make ten
tative plans for the potato organiza-
ton. This committee, meeting with
representatives of agencies interested
in agriculture in the state, including
the Farm Bureau, has called 8 out
standing leaders to head movement.
The list includes bankers, prominent
growers and a few dealers who real
ize that potato producers must have a
better marketing system, if they are
to stay in business. Names of per-
sons on this committee Of 3 will not
be announced until acceptances have
been received from all. A. M. Dun
ton, manager of the present Minnesota
Growers Exchange, is actively coop
Grating to push the new plan.
While arrangements made thus far
in Minnesota are tentative, it is
agreed that the new marketing plan
shall include a contract running be-
tween the organization and the grow
er. Such a contract, experience has
shown, is needed to make co-opera-
tives successful
1t is also agreed that no paid field
organizers will be used. 1t is felt
tlat in sections where sentiment for
cooperation is not strong enough tc
push the work on volunteer basis
there is not the needed enthusiasm.
Plans now being developed in Min
nesota have been so drawn as tc
make utilization with a national
agency possible when the state il
ready.
The first unit in the national plan
under the Peteet-Sapiro plan, was
completed last week when it was an
nounced that more than $4,000 acres
of potatoes in Maine abs been signed
up. The campaign was waged to sign
up minimum of $4,000 acres.

About Blue Valley
Efficient Factory Methods

But Blue Valley doesn't believe in
fancy stone, expensive material, use
less trimmings and wasted space. All
that costs money, increases the in
vestment and produces nothing. 1t
adds to the cost of manufacture and
in the end must come out of the but
terfat price.
After all, creamery is a factory
for making money for the farmers,
not show place or Government build
ing. Blue Valley puts the money i; 9
cream check, not into needless Trick
and mortar.
Sanitation First Consideration
Thorough sanitation has always been
the first consideration of every Blue
Valley creamery.
We consider sanitation the first
and all-important essential in making
butter. Blue Valley building construc-
ton, including most effective ventil-
ating systems, insures absolute san
itation.
Blue Valley creameries are so plan
ned and built that they are readily
kept clean, and Blue Valley insists on
scrupulous cleanliness throughout
every day in the year. The buildings

PROTECT THE BUXOM MILKMAID

of the "Full Crew Bill'' Brother East
man of the St. Cloud Journal Pres
insists that if equal justice is to b
done the idea should be carried clea
down the line, even to giving the buS
ON milkmaid assistance in fly time
As a satirist the Journal-Press edito
has few equals. While there ar
many times when the Herald is not
accord with the ideas eminating fror
his editorial think tank, the followin
under the head of "Give Us Our FL
of Full Crews" so completely riddle
the so-called arguments in favor o
this latest piece of legislative spor
of harassing the railroads, that it
worthy of publication: ..
Just why the railroads should be
signalled out for legislative at
tacks, is explainable only on the
theory that there is no closed sea-
son for taking shots at big cor
porations.
1t is now proposed in bill be-
fore the legislature, to compel
them to employ certain number
of men on each train, whether
they are needed or not. The rail"
road authorities of Minnesota
state that would make an unnec-
essary addition al cost of $1,522-
900 year.
If the Minnesota legislature is
going into the business of writ
ing into the law just how many
men should be employed in
any given industry, we submit as
a matter of fair play, it should
be made general, and not class
legislation.
The only purpose of the bill is
to give more workers connection
with wages. Good logic would be
to take in more industries and
provide more jobs.
Now let us have the right sort
of bill. Compel each mer-
chant to have clerk to attend
each customer. This would pro-
tect the shoppers against loss of
time in waiting for the one ahead
to discuss the League of Nations
and the Volstead act with the
clerk, before purchasing spool
of thread.
Manufacturing plants should be
required to operate continually,
six days a week. This would re-
quire three full crews-and would
give work to many more men.
NEWSPAPERS could then get out
morning, noon, evening and mid
night editions, and keep the peo-
pie informed on current events
right up to the minute.
And let us not forget our farm
er friends. Let the law specify
that when a team is sent to the
field to ploy there shall be driv-
er on each side of the horses or
mules, and man for each handle
on the pillow. At milking time,
especially in fly time, let a full
crew consist of two-one to
milk and the other to hold the
cows tail.
We can suggest other ways to
provide more jobs for labor-but
the law makers can from this
basis work out fair and equita-
BILE bill.
The public of course has to pay
the bills, but that is no argument.
If the present bill is passed the
people of Minnesota will have to
pay a million and half dollars for
no extra service. In the plan of
the Journal-Press they would at
least get some compensating SER
vice, for the additional burden
handed them to carry. But the
poor slob who accumulated prop
cry ought to be taxed to the
limit.
Under the present state of the
public mind, the man who wants
to ride into office on a great tidal
wave, needs only short and
snappy motto: :" Tell with the

Economy and Efficiency

ECONOMY ana Efficiency
But even the Blue Valley direct-to-
consumer marketing system would
not be of much advantage to the
cream producer if waste and ineffici-
ency prevailed in the Blue Valley
creameries.
Blue Valley was developed from a
successful local creamery where the
proprietors themselves did all the
work and looked after every detail.
The economies that usually mark the
operations of such private creameries
have all been carried over into the
larger Blue Valley business. AS the
Blue Valley Creamery System grew
and developed, so was systematic eco
nomy in every operation in the Blue
Valley creameries developed also.
There is no waste in Blue Valley
manufacturing methods.
r.
Blue Valley Buildings
First of all, there is no waste in
Blue Valley creamery buildings.
Blue Valley creameries are built
for one purpose-economical manu-
facture of good butter. Hence they are
substantial, built to last, neat in ap-
pearance and in keeping with their
surroundings.

The much broader opportunities for
scientific research work offered Pro-
lessor Hunziker by Blue Valley, COM
bined with the much larger field for
investigation afforded by the great
volume of butter made under his sup
ervision, have greatly increased the
value of his services to the American
dairy industry.
Professor Hunziker has attained
his present leadership in the field OF
dairy manufacture by his facilities for
combining science and practice, there
by improving Blue Valley methods to
a point where Blue Valley Nmanufac-
turing efficiency has become recog-
nized among creamery experts the
country over.
Open to the World
The Blue Valley manufacturing
methods as developed by Professor
Hunziker are open to the world. They
are set forth in "The Butter Industry"
a book of which Professor Hunziker
is the author and which is used as a
textbook in many colleges. Any
creamery man can find the Blue VAL
lev methods there and will benefit by
adopting them. !,
But while this, of course, is optional
with other creamery operators, the
men in charge of Blue Valley cream
cries must use these approved meth
DDS to the letter. And these men are

More Money for Cream

All this work, all this system, all
this organized effort, is carried on to
the end that the great volume of
cream entrusted to Blue Valley by the
farmers, may be made into the best,
most uniform and greatest amount of
butter at the smallest expense and the
consumer be so well satisfied that he
will continue to ask for Blue Valley
package butter and pay more for it.
In the end it all means more money
to the cream producer.
In all modesty, we are convinced
that the operation of Blue Valley
Sweet Cream Creamery in TIE heart
of Minnesota, being a part of the Blue
Valley organization, cannot help but
influence Minnesota buttermaking to-
wards an ever higher standard of eff
ficiency, thus benefiting farmers
everywhere in the state.

TTOUSE flags are valued by
i i shipping companies as SYM
bols of business identity, and
also for their sentimental associa-
tons. Some of the house flags flown
by the clipper ships in the days of
'49 are now treasured in Eastern
homes or museums as souvenirs of
an American shipping era now
passed. Flags of steamship lines
have taken their place.
One of the most famous steam
ship house flags is that of the
American Line, pictured here. 1t
was first flown ON the original
steamers of that line when they be-
gan operations between Philadelphia
and Liverpool in 1871, and is the
only house flag of an American
steamship line that has been con-
tinuously in transatlantic service for
more than half century.
In few weeks this famous en-
sign of trade and travel will be seen

California ports and New York, by
way of the Panama Canal, which
was interrupted by the great war.

HAVE A CARE WHEN YOU
HANDLE FIRE IN WOODS

Like poison ivy, talk Of coal
strike and other annual events" the
forest fire season" is with us again
and a statement by the American
Tree Association says that the best
way to stop forest fires, with their
millions of dollars of loss every
year, is to prevent them. Campers
and tourists as well as mixers are
given these suggestions to remember
when in the woods:
Be sure your match is out. Break
it in two before you throw it away
Throw pipe ashes and cigar or
cigarette stubs in the dust Of the
road and stamp or pinch out the
fire before leaving them. Don't
throw them into the brush, leaves,
or needles.
Build small campfire. Build it in
the open, not against tree or log,
or near brush. Scrape away the |
trash from all around it.
Never leave a campfire, even for |
a short time, without quenching it |
with water or earth. Be sure it is
out.
Never build bonfires in windy
weather or where there is the slight
est danger of their escaping from
control. Don't make them larger
han you need.
If you find fire, try to put it out
f you can't, get word to the nearest |
United States forest ranger or state
orest warden at once.
