of getting butter, as asked for, he received process or renovated butter, 

 without any statement to that effect being made. 



It seems to be quite a custom among the retail dealers' of the State to 

 buy process or renovated butter, plainly labeled process butter, and to 

 sell it at retail from the original package as butter. 



The United States Department of Agriculture has amended Regula- 

 tion 21, governing the labeling of renovated butter, to read as follows : 



"All coverings or wrappers of prints, bricks, or rolls of renovated butter, 

 whether paper or cloth, must have the words 'Renovated Butter' in one or 

 two lines, marked, branded, stenciled, or printed thereon in black or nearly 

 black upon white or light ground, in full-faced gothic letters not less than 

 three-eighths of an inch square, so placed as to be the only marking upon one 

 side or surface of the parcel so packed." 



The Government authorities recognize the fact that renovated butter 

 is not butter and should not be sold as butter. The above regulation 

 makes it necessary for each package of renovated butter offered for sale 

 in interstate commerce to be labeled so as to plainly show that it is reno- 

 vated butter. The sale of renovated butter as butter is a violation of 

 the State Food Law, and if detected will have to be prosecuted.
