FEED 



AND.. 



WORK on Illinois Farm Supply Company's new 

 feed mill at Mendota in La Salle county is now 

 complete. The new mill assures northern Illi- 

 nois farmers of a plentiful supply of Blue Seal 

 feeds. Illinois Farm Supply Company is an 

 affiliated company of the Illinois Agricultural Associa- 

 tion. At full production daily output will average 250 

 tons. The mill operates on eight-hour shift of 20 men 

 per day. 



The Mendota mill is one of the fipest and most 

 modern in the state and will produce about 40,000 tons 

 annually of Blue Seal poultry, dairy, and livestock feeds 

 for distribution to member service companies. 



The new mill replaces the leased Badenoch mill in 

 Chicago. It is the second feed mill to be built by Illi- 

 nois farmers with their own money to provide them- 

 selves with the best in feed milling operations. The 

 Benton mill of Illinois Farm Supply Company supplies 



the southern half of the state. 



In addition. Blue Seal feeds will continue to be pro- 

 duced at the Hammond, Ind., mill which is operated 

 jointly by Illinois Farm Supply Company and two other 

 Midwestern cooperatives. 



J. J. Lanter, Illinois Farm Supply director of pro- 

 curement, said the Mendota mill was designed to meet 

 the specific needs of Illinois farmers for high-quality 

 feeds. 



A leased fleet of 16 new 18-ton trailer transports will 

 be used in delivering feed from mill to the member 

 companies located in the northern half of the state. 

 Each trailer is painted a dazzling white and carries 

 Farm Supply's Blue Seal emblem and the company's 

 motto in red "For Better Farming." 



The Mendota mill is under the management of Glen 

 Lines. Construction was started early last winter and 

 cost an estimated $750,000.
