BLENDED BUTTER

DOMINION HANDICAPPED.

BAD EFFECT IN BRITAIN.

“It is difficult to obtain genuine New Zealand butter in Britain,” said Mr. F. J. Lysnar, of Gisborne, who returned to Auckland by the Ulimaroa on Tuesday, after spending two years in England. “It can be obtained in large quantities if one does not object to blended butter, but the real thing is seldom seen.” New Zealand butter which was bought wholesale at Is. 4d. and Is. sd. a lb. was being sold in shops for Is. and Is. 2d. That was proof enough of the blending, which was always carried out with | inferior foreign brands. The officials 'at -the High Commissioner’s Office in London admitted that’they were powerless to stop the practice, which was having a very serious effect on the good reputation of real New Zealand butter, as the blended commodity still carried the New Zealand label. Blended-butter was not attractive to the taste, said Mr. Lysnar. He had met a man in London, who said he 'Could not eat; New Zealand butter. ’'HS' 'petshaded him 'to '.visit • the-..
