64—Lancaatar Farming. Saturday, March 15, 1975 Butter Prices Dip No, the unique flavor of butter hasn’t changed. But the price has dropped below that of premium margarines and many people arc eating butter for the first time, unfortunately. This includes reporters who write feature stories noting the different taste of butter that buffs know as flavor. “Some Midwestern grocery chains are featuring butter specials as low as 69 cents a pound, about 15 cents or more below prices a week ago. In some areas, butter is selling for the first time at prices below some grades of margarine, which are as high as 90 cents a pound...” Wall Street Journal, December 23, 1974.

Martin, Auctioneers (717) 733-3511 (717) 733-3305 Lunch by Group 14 Farm Women Butter flavor may be better, but a “lost generation” may have missed It because the price spread between butter and margarine was too great. Not anymore. Food fads fade and diet concerns diminish as butter becomes No. 2 in price and margarine assumes the mantle of the “high price spread.” Evidently price is the consumers’ main concern when shopping. In the last six months of 1974, per capita butter sales increased 15 percent while margarine sales leveled off at their 1973 rate. Butter sales will continue to increase as the prices of margarines soar to soybean heights. Nearly 80 percent of margarines use soybean oil, which has increased so markedly in cost that the price of many margarines is higher than butter in some markets. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the retail price of butter dropped five cents a pound from December 1973 through December 1974, while the retail price of margarine went up more than 25 cents, an actual price spread decrease of 30.7 cents per pound. From this corner, as a butter buff, I’m delighted that I can enjoy it more for less. Butter is part of our national heritage from “buttercups” to “knowing which side your bread is buttered on” to “buttering up the boss.” No one says “Pass the oleo, please,” as a family might forget when company is served butter. And baking Christmas cookies with margarine seems almost un-American. In the dairy business, we have advertised that “it’s better with butter,” and that “butter is what margarine would like to be.” If imitation really is the sin cerest form of flattery, butter is flattered. But margarines continue to imitate the real flavor of butter and claim that con sumers can’t tell the taste difference. Nor do most margarine eaters know that the imitation spread has the same caloric content as butter. Today’s consumers have an advantage. Now they can stop buying the new “high price spread” and enjoy the sweet goodness of butter for a lower price. Why not make it a table fact in your home that butter is butter, margarine is margarine, and never the spreads should meet? Ask yourself why more people are buying butter when its prices are better?

Of ment of the Interior, a sharp increase in usuage of hor ticulture perlite was recorded in 1973. In 1972, 3 percent of domestic ex panded perlite respresenting 12,600 tons went to this growing market while the figure leaped to 5 percent or 20,900 tons in 1973 • an in crease of over 65 percent. According to Robert Milanese, Managing Director of the Perlite In stitute, “an increase in perlite usage in this market is also expected for 1974. When the final figures are in, they will probably be in excess of 25,000 tons - up significantly from 1973’s record figures. Increased usage may be attributed to several factors including greater reliance on the home garden for food production in 'a tight economy, need for more intensive crop production because of shortage of fertile soil, changing American lifestyle in that there is a movement ‘back to the soil’ and greater leisure time as a result of shorter work weeks, earlier retirement, longer vacations and more holidays.” Serving a multifaceted role, horticultural perlite is effective as a soil conditioner in vegetable and flower gardens, lawns and potting soils. Horticultural perlite aerates soil and promotes drainage while retaining moisture and nutrients where plants can get them when they are needed. In Wouldn’t it be more logical for oleo lovers to pay more for the “high price spread” if they truly believed its marketing claims?
