W]G UNp*11tSTAND through farmer friends
that the practice of mixwng imported butter
with gur .oven good Canadian. product is being
carrled out in. Canadian creameries, and. then
i w •a er i.s ut on and it is sold
a Canadian k pp p
as Canadian butter, '
This outrages our sense of what is right,
In more 'ways than one.
Surely our creameries know better than
to carry out such practice,
Surely they know that the dairy farmer
in Canada is •Contributing to the June set,
aside, a pertain percentage of all receipts
taken in during that time, for the purpose
of ,promoting the sales of dairy products.
This money, it is. true, is used to advertise
:- • dairy products in Canada : but if the stuff
brought in from other countries at a lower
price, is wrapped in -our own, familiar wrap,
pees, and then, sold to the consumer, pf what
benefit is that to the, housewife and. the
average family? Where is the extra profit
going? Certainly not into the pocket of the
farmer, nor of the housewife.
Recently, we purchased: a pound of butter
in Clinton, packaged in the familiar local
wrapper. The stuff had a rancid odour and
taste, and we wore thoroughly displeapod.
However, when we complained to our grocer,
he said, "Oh, there's nothing better than Clingy•
ton butter." ) Having Our doubts about this,
we nevertheless purchased buttet-with a dif
ferent Canadian 'wrapper, and found that it
tasted and smelled much better.
We have absolutely no way of knowing
if the first pound mere Canadian, Clinton
butter, or merely some imported, cheap butter
with a local wrapper on .It. However, it will
be some time before we buy another one with
that type of wrapper,
This sort of thing will not encourage the
producer to produce more, nor to advertise
his own product: It will not make friends of
the consumer, who may find that the' constant
flavour of cheap margarine may be more
attractive than butter from. .-,- dear knows
wherel it will in the long run rung the death
knell of the butter maker -- for what farmer
can' afford to promote the sale of imported
products at the expense of his own produce'?
