BLENDED BUTTER

THE ENGLISH CAMPAIGN DIVIDED OPINIONS (Klee. Tel. Copyright--United Press Assn.) (Received April 7, 11 a.in.) LONDON, April 6. The campaign against the sale of blended butter in wrappers not indicating the source of origin is being vigorously carried on. Its organisers activities are receiving much press publicity. in the meantime, the opinions of retail traders on the subject seem to be divided. For instance, the president ol the Birmingham and Midland Counties Grocers’ Association, addressing that body, said the promoters of the Blended Butter Bill might not be aware of the possible injury that would be dune to British butter if the bill became law. The practice of blending butter Intel made butter more palatable and saleable and lias led to more British butter being sold. On the other hand, the director of an important Loudon grocery store, writing in a trade paper, says it is clear that public opinion is solidly against the continued use of wrappers conveying the impression that blended butter is English butter, and lie suggests that in their own interests local grocers’ associations should definitely range themselves on the side of the public.
