lard Hansen, state DAIRY and food COM
missioner, sent communications to
forty three butter manufacturers, dairy
men and crenmerymen yesterday advls-
ing them that their method OF labelling
the product must conform TO the law
and that in the future each package or
butter must be labeled with the name
and address of the manufacturer and
the actual number of ounces contained
in the package at the time of its man,
ufacturc Commissioner Hansen SAID
that if the butter manufacturers and
distributors did not conferm with his
order before September /, prosecutions
would begin. Following is the letter

the attorney general OF this state stating
that the term 'I5-lG ounces" is illegal

ures, who. after conducting an exten-
sive examination of Utah butter, re-
ported that the average weight of but
ter contained in the Utah package was
l41 ounces and that these packages
were labeled "15-l6 ounces.
The law allows one-half ounce shrink
age aud with but one or two exceptions
all the butter packages examined by
Mr.. Holbrook fell considerably short of
the fifteen ounces and one-half required
by the law There was very little crit

Attorney General Barnes said yester-
day that the law allows the manufac-
turer 10 wrap up any amount of butter
he chooses but that the number of
ounces contained in the package, exclu-
sive of the wrapper, must be printed
upon the label, This means that the
butter manufacturer will not be allowed
