Better butter
WASHINGTON, D.C. -
Because of improvements in
recent years in the quality of
butter being manufactured,
the U.S. Department of
Agriculture is proposing to
drop the lowest quality
grade, U.S. Grade C, from
the official grade standards
for butter. Such butter is no
longer packaged for con
sumer use.
This is one of several
changes USDA’s
Agricultural Marketing
Service proposed in the
United States Standards for
Grades of Butter in a notice
which appeared in the
Federal Register Nov. 11.
Another change proposed
would eliminate the use of
alternative grade terms,
such as “U.S. 92 Score” (for
U.S. Grade A) and thus aid in
'the AMS move toward more
uniformity in grade names.
Other changes, modifying
the requirements for the
grades, U.S. Grade AA, A,
and B, are proposed as a
means of more accurately
reflecting flavors found in
the butter being produced
today, AMS officials said.
Flavor is one of the im
portant quality factors in the
U.S. grade standards for
on the Philadelphia Pike at
7:30 p.m.
A donation was given to
one of the members, Sarah
Drumheller, whose home
was gutted with fire, October
23, to purchase a clothes
washer.
Articles for Christmas will
be taken to the Hamburg
State School, November 21,
by Mrs. Richard Schlegel.
Names of 14 shut-ins in the
area were presented to the
committee who are in charge
of making fruit baskets for
Christmas.
Mary Jane Hetrick and
Dorothy Wagner are in
charge of reservations.
Mary Haas and Bessie
Rapp will audit the
treasurer’s book until the
January meeting.

butter. Specifically, changes
are proposed in the
definitions of flavor intensity
and of flavor characteristics
for “coarse acid,” “cooked
(fine),” and “cooked
(coarse).” These are defects
which may cause butter to be
downgraded. The proposal
would also delete the'fjavors
“lipase” and “woody” from
the grade standards and
would modify the definition
for “specks” in the grade
standards' color
requirements.

amendments to the grade
