However, the greatest advantage of
the Blue Valley Sweet Cream Cream
cry to agriculture in this section of
Minnesota will come from the fact
that farmers who desire to produce
sweet cream and so get all the profits
from their cows, will have an oppor-
tunity to sell it to a creamery that
is part of one great, direct butter
marketing organization, and so in
position to pay the highest possible
price.
The history of Blue Valley which
has been told in these articles, shows
how this marketing organization has
been built up. The principles anu
practices have been the same all these
twenty-three years-the direct deal
all through from farmer to consumer
and higher price for Blue Valley
butter, because the consumer came to
know it by its trade-marked brand on
the Blue Valley package.
This going right to the consumer
with every pound of butter in Blue
Valley package has built up Blue
Valley butter market independent OF
the fluctuating wholesale markets and
enables Blue Valley to pay higher
average price for butterfat, quality OF

About Blue Valley

the large creameries are under one
ownership and management.
This makes it possible for Blue
Valley not only to maintain a central
research laboratory under the highest
scientific leadership for experimental
work and for checking up every Blue
Valley churning, but also to enforce in
every Blue Valley creamery, down to
the most minute detail, the methods
developed by the research laboratory.
Uniformity Assured
In that way the great volume OF
Blue Valley butter becomes uniform;
cream pasteurization is done right;
every churning is exhaustive; correct
testing is assured; packing, cleaning
and the hundred other things that
must be done in creamery are made
to count to the utmost. Every pro-
cess is performed right, most efficient
ly and most economically, all directed
and supervised as they are by one gen.
eral management that knows and has
twenty-three years successful ex-
perience behind it.
All this means money to Blue VAL
ley patrons. Even though the Blue
Valley Sweet Cream Creamery in
Sank Centre will be of smaller capac-
ity than the Blue Valley creameries
now in operation, all these advantages
will benefit the farmers who choose to
patronize it.
The Sauk Centre herald. (Sauk Centre, Stearns County, Minn.) 1886-current, 1923-03-01

In 1922 there were sold 58,729,777
trade-marked Blue Valley packages
of butter direct to individual con-
sumers as against 48,272,986 in 1921,
gain of 10,456,791 in one year.
These figures cover only the butter
of sufficiently high quality to be
packed and sold in the blue and vel
low, trade-marked Blue Valley pack
age. The figures do not include the
amount of butter made in Blue Val
ley creameries from Cummings that
did not come up to the Blue Valley
standard. Such butter is packed In
tubs and sold wholesale, very much
like most of Minnesota's creamery
butter.
In view of the record output and
consumption of Blue Valley butter in
1921, the large increase on top Of
that in 1922 shows clearly the sound
ness and merit of the Blue Valley
creamery system. Only real economic
merit to producer and quality to con-
sumner can maintain and, year after
year, increase the great volume OF
Blue Valley business and so make Blue
Valley an even better cream market
for the farmer, and at the same time
give the individual consumer the
brand of butter he will ask for again
and again and pay higher price to
get.

Approved By Thousands of Farmers

Approved By Thousands of Farmers
1t is all these advantages, created
by Blue Valley principles through
many years of practice, that have
been the cause of Blue Valleys steady
growth, in spite of the fact that
most Blue Valley creameries are
operated in sections where conditions
for dairying are not nearly as fa-
vorable as they are in Minnesota.
The great increase in Blue Valley
business during 1922 proves that to-
day many more farmers than a year
ago approve of Blue Valley prices and
Blue Valley methods. 1t has been
that way every year for twenty-three
years.
This fact should assure anybody
not acquainted with Blue Valley that
the Blue Valley creamery system has
won the outstanding position it holds
today by merit and by service to
thousands upon thousands of farm
ers.
Through the Blue Valley Sweet
Cream Creamery, this service win now
be available to farmers here produce
ing that quality Of cream.

AS Compared With Minnesota

/ As Compared With Minnesota
In this connection some figures
from the latest dairy statistics pub
lished by the State, of Minnesota will
be of interest.
According to these statistics, all
the creameries in Stesrns County, 81
in number and including privately
owned, central and cooperative plants.
made 8,279,605 pounds of butter in
1921.
The ID creameries in Todd County
made 4,143,791 pounds.
The 10 creameries in Morrison
County made 1884, 426 pounds.

In other words, the 101 creameries
in the seven counties Immediately
surrounding Sank Centre made only

Readers of the Herald, every one
vitality interested in seeing Sank Cen
ire the best cream market in the
state, can now appreciate the economy
and efficiency of the Blue Valley
creamery system.
Blue Valley Greater Economy
That it is far more economical to
run seventeen large creameries than
it is to run hundred and more
smaller plants is self-evident.

Blue Valley Greater Economy

cream considered, than any other
creamery system.
For sweet cream in the substantial
volume that can readily be produced
in the Sank Centre country, the Blue
Valley system can pay much higher
price, because the consumer who
wants the superlative quality of but
ter that can be made only from that
kind of cream, is always able and
willing to pay superlative price.
The present Blue Valley direct dis
tributing system can reach him too,
without any additional cost of distrr

The Difference
We have shown you the advantage
in butter manufacture which the sew
enteen large Blue Valley creameries,
that at present make up the Blue
Valley creamery system, have in vol
ume of cream received and butter
made, as compared with the hundred
or more creameries nearest to Sank

dent.
The advantage in butter marketing
is just as clear. Most of the butter

The running expenses per pound are
much less in seventeen large plants
than in a hundred smaller ones. The
investment is also very much small
Ter, and that makes the expense of
interest on capital and Of deprecia-
ton very much less.
All these expenses in one way or
other come out of the farmers pcsl-et,
regardless of the kind of creamery to
which he sells his cream. If the
quality of cream received is the same,
and even if creamery efficiency and
butter marketing ability would be the
same, the large creamery with the
smallest expense per pound pays the
highest price.
Large volume in few plants also
makes the expense Of skilled men
very much less per pound manufac-
tured than in large number of COM
paratively small plants, totaling the
same volume. The cost of supplies
is also much less in the small group
of large plants, due to the great
quantities that can be purchased at

with PA for 1922. Commander Kir-
cher refers to the address delivereu

You surely have congratulations
coming to you from the entire Ameri-
can Legion and from every man and

Wish you could shout that speech from

The Buddies Are Busy
So too, from every part of the
northwest come similar encouraging
letters showing that this first prear-
ranged Legion radio address was
heard distinctly and met with approx
al. In every case the request was made
that similar talks be given soon. The
radio is great power for bringing
buddies of the Legion closer together
and for enlightening all citizens as to
the aims of the organization. In
writing approval of this idea, Adiutant
Kreuzer of New Richland says "Be-

On and after March LIST buddies
who belonged to the Legion in 1922
and who have not paid their 1923

can Legion Weekly as their names

this: "Ihe army mule has two feet
