Mr. Hansen says his department, alter careful investigation, finds that some of the creameries are making enormous profits from the system now1 in vogue. He Bays that his investigations ,in other a v e si icfw n that a "pattmi"of slafe butter iii every hisi.r.ict weighs sixin this state, a teen ounces, socalletl pound 01 butter, as ihe consuming public understands it, does not come even close to weighing sixteen ounces. The statement issued by the department is entitled "Facts about butter and butter conditions in Utah, as found1 by the state dairy and food department." .Tin text of ihe statement follows: Shrinkage in Butter. The dairy and foo;i laws of this State do not require that butter he packed in certain "sized" packkge87 that Is 16 ounces to the pound. ' The law reads that there shall be stamped upon the wrapper or package "the actual number of ounces contained in said wrapper or package at the time of its manufacture." l:nder this law some of our creameries have been -putting- QUtrbtitterrlafiel iiigTn"" 'packages ".15 ounces n?:" and then in' .'.roiig'f adverforming ti.p other that they are means, and tising molding their butter at the creameries sc thai i:.wi!l average 16 ounces to the .'j.!.ti:d that a , heavy shrinkage takes place from the time the butter is molded until it Is offered for sale, a period of from one to ten days.

This department does allow a little shrinkage and variance in butter, as it is hard for tho creamery .men at one-hal- times" ro"mold in so weight, it must be molded but. that the average would scarcely show 2 per cent of shrinkage in a few days, or even in a week's time, rf any Therefore, the creamery or creameries that butter f of an ounce in will shrink, the few days that it will be upon the market is absolutely, false and misleading. On several occasions this department has found, while inspecting a certain creamery which has made this contention, that the scales at the mold were set at one time 15 ounces, and never have been found ounces, to be set at more than 15 when they were packing butter' in cartons labeled "15 ounces." Our findings upon the Salt Lake ma et and throughout J&e-.- state have always borne ont the above facts. In the past two years we have weighed hundreds, and even thousands, of pounds of butter, and have never found where packages marked "15 ounces' would indicate to us that they were ever put up to contain 16 ounces.
