Consumers
Prefer
Butter
Fewer people are depriving
themselves of the great taste of
butter. For the first time in 15
years butter consumption is
increasing while sales for other
table spreads have been slipping.
Per capita consumption of but
ter is up 10 percent over the past
three years. Last year alone, but
ter sales jumped 8.8 percent, and
more increases are expected.
Consumers are buying more
butter because of lower prices.
The gap between prices of butter
and margarine has decreased con
siderably over the past few years.
Lower price isn’t the only reason
people are buying more butter.
Bad publicity for margarine has
also increased butter sales. Med
ical studies have linked trans fatty
acids to margarine. This new
research shows that trans fatty
acids found in margarine raise
blood cholesterol.
Consumers rate butter primari
ly for its taste and the delectable
flavor it brings to other foods.
Many find butter to taste more
natural than margarine.

ANSWER A Birdsboro reader wanted to know how to
remove underarm odor from laundered work clothing when
the smell still clings to the clothing after several washings.
Thanks to Helen Nolt, New Holland, for answering. She said
buy 20 Mule Team Borax that is sold in supermarkets. The
box is green and yellow with red lettering. Add Vi cup Borax to
your regular detergent. She said the laundry will smell fresh
and breezy. Also, Borax often removes soil stains.
Also, thanks to a Leola reader who suggest using one cup
baking soda with the laundry. Baking soda may be purchased
in 50 pound bags from feed mills.
ANSWER Nancy Cummings, Bolivar, wanted to know
why celery plants go to seed. She has grown celery all her life,
and the last two years, some of the plants go to seed instead
of developing a nice stalk. Thanks to a Leola reader who said
that it has been her experience that the plants go to seed if
planted too early or the plants go through stress from a long
dry period. Green house plants are more prone to go to seed.
Try using field-grown plants.
