A PRESS AGENT FOR HARDING

"The suggestion has been
made to President Harding that
he designate an official govern
ment press agent and attach
him to one of the executive de-
partments in Washington. The
suggestion come from some of
Mr.. Harding's friends who be-
lieve his administration has not
been receiving its full measure
of flattering publicity. Their
idea is bad.
"The press agent, an insti-
tuition which has grown up in
the United States in recent
years, has almost completely
worn out its usefulness. News
paper editors have put the ban
on him. There is scarcely a
newspaper in the country which
does not view with suspicion ev-
erything offered to it by press
agent. The press agent in the
nature of things must dissemin-
ate propaganda rather than in
formation. And propaganda
has outworn it's welcome to the
American public.
"In the government, the
press agent is an especially un-
desirable component. AS a mat
ter of fact, every executive de-
partment now possesses an en-
ploye whose functions are to dis
pense prepared publicity to
newspaper correspondents.
"Officialdom is always suspic-
ious that frankness might afford
opportunity for the discovery of
things to criticize. AS a matter
of fact, however, the publicity
resulting would more often re-
dound to the benefit of the de-
partments discussed, while the
frankness would dull the edge
of criticism which secrecy al
ways sharpens. The presidents

however, will find our record in the

Blue Valley Cream Weighing and Testing

Blue Valley at all times invites the
closest examination of its methods of
weighing and testing cream.
The thing that counts with the
farmer is his cream check. That rep
resents the income from his cows.
The price, the weight and the test de-
termine the size of the cream check.
1t is not enough that the price, or
the weight, or the test is right-all
three must be right to make the cream
check right.
Blue Valleys record, referred to in
the first part of this article, is built
on all the things that go to make a
creamery of value to the cream pro-
ducer-economy, efficient manufac-
ture, good marketing, and the careful
handling of the many details that
enter into the business. All of them
affect the final returns to the cream
producer and all of them are of i'm
portance to him.
In recent articles we have told of
some of the Blue Valley cream

About Blue Valley

Every Blue Valley creamery makes
a better cream market for the section
of the country which it serves.
The longer a Blue Valley creamery
is operated, the better the prices it
pays and the service it renders. That
is the record of every Blue Valley
creamery.
The new Blue Valley Sweet Cream
Creamery in Sank Centre is bound
to create better market for sweet
cream, as soon as it opens for bus
ness. In line with the record of all
Blue Valley creameries, this market
will be still better ten years from now.
The opening of the Blue Valley
Sweet Cream Creamery will mean
more money from then on to every
farmer who chooses to sell his cream
there. The competition the new cream
market will create also will mean
more money and better service to all
he farmers in this section of Mime
sofa.

Weighing of Cream

The scales used in the Blue Valley
creamery for weighing the patrons
cream are kept in tip-top balance and
order at all times.
They are tested for accuracy with
standard test weights several times
each day. At the end of each day they
are cleaned and gone over.
Blue Valley goes to utmost pains to
assure itself that it's scales are accu-
rate. We use scales that make little
more work for the men, in preference
to scales that are little handler, but
require constant adjustment by inspec-

Blue Valley Tests Have Stood The
Test

The fact that our patronage has
made Blue Valley a very large, out
standing creamery company doing
business in many states probably has
subjected the accuracy of our cream
tests to more examinations by state
inspectors and other dairy officials
than the tests of any other creamery
in the United States.
Blue Valley cream tests have stood
the test of these official inspectors
and examinations time after time.
Ask any inspector or other official
who has ever been engaged in this
work. They know that Blue Valley
cream tests are accurate, week after
week and year after year.
This is another record Blue Valley
is proud of, for we make thousands of
cream tests every day.
Farmers who plan to try out for
themselves the services of the new
Blue Valley Sweet Cream Creamery
in Sank Centre, may rest assured that
also in the matter of correct weights
and tests, Blue Valley will live up to
the record and reputation it has won
in other states.

Since Blue Valley announced its in

has received more public notice as a

than in all the years since the first

dairy business, the minute Blue Valley
starts building creamery herein

the big dailies? Why all this desirable
publicity for Sank Centre, publicity
that can only be of benefit to the COM

only glassware manufactured accor-

Patrons Get Half Points
Just as we give our patrons half
pounds on weights, when the scales
show that they have it coming, so do
we give the patron half points on tests
when he has it coming.
We don't cut the half point tests
down to the nearest full point. Our
tests are correct in every sense of the
word.
Only trained cream testers are en-
ployed. They are selected with special
reference to their carefulness and re-
liability. Their work is subjected to
constant checks.
Your Greatest Protection
No Blue Valley tester is in the
slightest degree responsible for the
business of the Blue Valley creamery
in which he tests.
He works on a straight salary. He
never works on commission. He has
no temptation whatever to show
favoritism or manipulate the testing
in any way whatsoever.
He has every inducemont to do ac-
curate work. He knows his job de-
ponds on that. He knows he is being
checked up constantly. He is given
every facility for performing his dut-
les correctly, and he knows that not
the slightest carelessness on his part
is tolerated. He never knows whose

tors sent out by their manufacturers.
We figure that scales that are mac
curate when the manufacturers agent
comes around and must be readjusted
by him, are apt to be inaccurate on
days when the agent is not around.
We can not afford inaccurate scales.
We can not afford to give our patrons
less than they have coming and we
know they do not expect US to give
them more.

Blue Valley employee is permitted to

Patrons Get Half Pounds

Blue Valley weighs cream to half
pounds.
If it were practical, Blue Valley
would be glad to weigh to quarter
pounds. AS it is, we have found that
it is practical to weigh to half pounds.
and we believe the practice of some
creameries to count only full pounds
is unjust. If patron has 40 1-2
pounds of cream, Blue Valley credits
him with 40 IL pounds and not with
40,
The full can is first weighed on the
scales; then the cream is poured out
and the empty can weighed. Deduct
ing the weight of the empty can from
the weight of the full can gives the
net weight of the cream. Blue Valley
has found this to be the only correct
and satisfactory system Of weighing.
