A soil analysis for stubby-root nematodes Trichodorus spp. and Paratrichodorus spp. Plants affected exhibit short stunted roots, proliferation, fanging and a general overall reduction in root development. These nematodes can also transmit damaging plant viruses.
The above ground appearances of affected plants often exhibit retarded growth, wilted foliage, chlorosis and sensitivity to drought due to the root system damage. Stubby-root nematodes are also known to be vectors of a number of plant pathogenic viruses, including TRV (spraing in potatoes).
Analysis includes extraction, counts and identified to genus/species by our expert nematologists.
Our expert nematologists will analyse your soil samples for free-living nematodes which includes the extraction, count and identification to group (including root-lesion nematodes, but with the exception of virus vectors which require specialist extraction methods). This can give you the initial analysis required to point your prevention strategies in the correct direction.


Chewy middle - nougat? Covered in chocolate. I don't know what made it different from other, similar bars, but it sure was good!

This was my all time favorite candy growing up in the late 60's and 70's. I recently found my second favorite (Long Boy Coconut Candy) but sure wish the Butternut was still on the market.
Top of my list of favorites in 1950's and early 1960's Texas, nickel a bar. They had a very dense center of nougat, not at all fluffy, and the caramel had a slight "burn" as it melted on ones' tongue and palate.
i love that candy ,do you know when it is come back.
Please bring it back.Stop taking all the good things away.
Why did you take Butternut candy off the market? Sure would be a welcome treat to tatse it once again.
Graduated from high school in 1968, and bought a ButterNut bar at least 3 times a week in the school cafeteria. My all time favorite!
The Butternut candy bar was my all time favorite candy bar.I use to eat one everyday when we had our family store,there has not been a candy bar to top the Butternut for me, WISH IT WAS STILL ON THE MARKET.
One of my favorites, I also liked the original mars bar!
Wow...Nuttery,Buttery,Butter Nut. Mmm Mmm. I wish I had the recipe..I would have to try it. They were so good with a Mr. Pibb.
I have been looking for Butternut Candy Bars for several years. I had heard the company went out of business years ago. If someone could bring it back, I would be so grateful.
I'm not that old of a guy(40) but butternut was my Favorite and still is I found it once in 1992 at a convient store then it disappeared again I've been looking for it every since.
The Butternut Candy Bar was my most favorite candy. in the early 1980's the bar started to get thin; then all of a sudden it was gone. couldn't be found anymore. PLEASE, PLEASE BRING IT BACK JUST ONE MORE TIME!!
I have been looking for a butternut bar for the last 10yrs. I am trying to find out where I can buy one or if they are just of the market for good. This is the best candy that I have tried growing up in Mississippi!!!!!!
Wow, I'm so suprised that other people have been looking for the Butternut Candy Bar too!! I've been looking for it seems like 20 years lol. The butternut, hollywood candy bars where the bomb!! Don't forget the coconut long boys, somebody please get to making some candy for us old folks yea that's right I'm 52 years old I need that candy lol.
I remember also my first bite of that great i mean great butternut candy bar. This is from my childhood memories. Please bring this candy back mm mm mm good.
Yep, I'm gonna throw in a "me too" on this one. My wife and I were discussing the Butternut yesterday on our way to Kennesaw Mt. for a hike. It was my fav back in the '60s for sure. Like a Snicker, but better. IIRC, you could still get them at a very few places even in the '90s.
BUTTERNUT candy bars were the best ever made! Hollywood used to make these as well as PayDays, MilkShakes and Zero bars. PayDay and Zero bars are still made by the Hershey candy co. I encourage everyone to email the Hershey candy co and ask them to please bring back the BUTTERNUT...even if only for a short time. I've emailed them twice and they do respond. Maybe if they get a lot of emails they will consider bringing this amazing candy bar back. they must own the rights to it and have the recipe because they never indicated they didn't in their reply to me. while we are talking about discontinued candy bars...anyone remember the Caravelle bar made by Peter Paul? they were delicious too!
Oh yeah, I remember the Caravelle. It was probably my second-favorite bar. Truth is, I don't think I ever grew up...still like candy and kid stuff. My mom didn't allow much of it when I was coming up.
I am pleasantly surprised to read all of your comments. Yesterday I was just talking about Butternut candy bars. It was my favorite. I have gone in stores that sell "yesterday's" candy but I've never seen the Butternut candy bar. I would love to taste one at least once more. A few months ago I had a Clark bar and Bit O' Honey. They were a treat.
This would be the perfect candy bar for Cracker Barrel to reincarnate. They already sell Clove gum, Zotz, and other old time candy. Having the muscle of a national chain would probably be a big help in getting whoever owns the rights to reissue the Butternut.
I have been wishing for Butternut for 31 years. When I was pregnant with my first son in 1978 I ate so many (10 for a $1 then), I think he has a permanent sweet tooth:) They sure were good!!!
I never went into the high school cafeteria. I ate a Butternut and a Dr. Pepper from the machines everyday.Wish I had one now!
I can't remember a time during the sixties that I ever went to the movies without buying a butternut candy bar. That bar was the best tasting candy that you ever wanted to put in your mouth. Please consider a remake. I can't imagine why anyone would ever want to stop making something so wonderful.
I always assumed that Butter Nut candy bars were still available in convenience stores and on grocery story candy shelves.
My mother loved Butter-Nut, so naturally I wanted some, too. She would share, of course, but only a small amount. When I got old enough to go to the corner store, I would often pick a Butter-Nut candy bar of my very own, when I didn't go for a 3 MUSKETEERS instead (much BIGGER!).
In my early teens, in the mid 60's, I would eat a Butter nut bar and a bag of potato chips after a half day of mowing lawns. The sweet, nut and buttery taste of the bar combined with the salty taste of the chips was incredible !!
Glad to see that there's other Butternut fans out there! I got a couple of these in my bag when I was trick or treating in the late seventies. That was my first time tasting them, and it was the best candy I ever ate.
I am sooo glad to have found so many others who reember this candy bar. I bought a butternut every day on my way to school I never saved it for lunch. I also bought a Hollywood bar because I had only fifteen cent and each one was worth a nickle. Perhaps someone should get the receipe, and ask all of us to become partners and start making this delicious candy once more.
I do hope someone does get the receipe for this candy. Sorry for mispelling "remember" in my comment.
I'v been looking for a butternut candy bar for four years. with all these request, why can't one of these big candy companies just start making them again? I promise i will order by the case!!!
Am I glad to know that someone else remembers the butternut candy bar. I have been searching high and low, north and south, trying to find this delicious candy bar from my childhood years.
I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR THIS CANDY EVERYWHERE. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS. EVERY CITY I GO TO, I LOOK IN STORES FOR THIS CANDY BAR,THE BUTTERNUT CANDY BAR WAS THE BEST CANDY ON THE MARKET.
SOMEONE TOLD ME THAT THEY SAW BUTTERNUT CANDY BARS FURTHER DOWN SOUTH. THIS WAS ABOUT THREE YEARS AGO. I WILL FOREVER LOOK IN ALL STORES. IN EVERY CITY I GO TO.
I LOVED Butternut candy bar. Nice to see so many people who loved it as well. I don't eat candy anymore but would love to have a couple of bites from my favorite bar.
My dad sold butternut candy in the early 60's in Georgia. I enjoyed one everyday! Please bring them back, for a short time, please.
I loved that candy bar! It was just so good. It was my grandmother's favorite candy. She enjoyed it with a coke. I have been searching all over the internet hoping someone would tell me how to get a bar. Just one bar, that's all I'm asking for.
I wrote to the Hershey company about the candy bar and they responded. If more of us would write to Hershey, maybe they would consider producing it again.
There was a little store across the street from where we used to go to church. We would save our money during the week and every Sunday, after church, we would go to that little store and buy Butternut candy bars. They were so good and honestly, I haven't found another candy bar that can beat the taste of the Butternut bar; not even the Snickers bar. Snickers are too sweet. The Butternut bar was just right.
What happen was Hersey bought the co. & the was intro ads snickers. So Butternut will have a hard time to come back.
OMG!I have been searching for this candy bar butternut for so long,that was my childhood candy I would eat that candy like it was no tomorrow, please come back just for the old school adults that know about this special candy bar,I would really like to have one like NOW,thanks!
I am in agreeance with everyone else here too. I miss the good old fashioned candies from years gone by. The candy that they make today just don't have the kick and flavor like the butternut candy bar. The candy bars of today are too little and cost too much. I wish as well that one of the big candy companies would reconsider and go back into time and make these candy bars again. Maybe I will drop them a line and ask them.
I long for a Butternut candy bar. I see that I am not the only one. I use to buy it from the candy machine for 5 cents. What a value.
Glad to know I'm not alone in my search quest for the long lost Butternut candy bar however there is a website for some long lost favs www.hometownfavorites.com sorry the Butternut was not found. I'll will continue to search.
I would love for them to bring back the Butternut candy bar,it was so good that I can't forget after all these years!! That should tell you something about how good it was !! Has been along time since had one !!!
BUTTERNUT WAS MY ALL TIME FAVORITE. I WISH IT WOLUD COME BACK.WHAT COMPANY MADE THIS CANDY AND WHY WERE THEY TAKEN OFF OF THE MARKEY?
Butternut was Made by Hollywood Brand and the Hershey Company Brought that company out. about 4 years ago Hershey came out with a Butternut easter egg. OMG it was just like the Butternut candybar. and I brought 2 cases. wish they make it again. anyway if everyone would email Hershey maybe they will bring back the butternut bar or make it in the easter egg. I have already email them. so get busy people.
I would buy a Butternut candy bar for lunch at school everyday. Would like for my grandchildren to tast one wish they would bring them back.
They only cost 5 cents and we ate them on the way home everyday. There will never be another candy bar that tastes as good as a Butternut. Please, somebody get the recipe and bring them back.
This was my lunch through jr & sr high school and college. Coke, butternut and lance cheese & PB crackers. Oh how I wish they would bring it back.
WHEN I WAS A LITTLE THAT WAS THE CANDY MY DADDY WOULD BUY ME WISH I COULD FIND A STORE THAT SELL THE CANDY.
A Butternut candy bar can not be beat! I grew up in Orlando and I remember getting a Butternut candy bar every time my dad and I went to Tinker Field to watch the Orlando Twins play baseball.
HERSHEY OWNS THE RECIPE! PLEASE SEND THEM AN EMAIL AND ASK THEM TO BRING IT BACK! THEY BOUGHT THE RECIPE FROM HOLLYWOOD CANDIES.
Oh yes, Butternut candy bars. I worked in the high school cafeteria snack bar and we sold lots of those candies. I have been looking for them for about 15 years now to no avail. Some one please find them then post here so we all can get happy.
Please bring Butternut candy bar back!!! It has always been my favorite!!!!
Butternut was the only candy bar I ate as a kid in the 60's and bought them till I could find them no more! Wish so much that they would come back. Nothing out there today comes close!!
Ahhhhhhhhhh Butternut. Used to get them at Bankston Lake concession stand in the summer. A frozen Butternut and an icy cold Dr Pepper. Need Now.
I DON'T EVEN CARE THAT MUCH FOR THE SNICKERS BAR. I WOULD GIVE IT UP ANYTIME FOR THEM TO BRING BACK THE BUTTERNUT. HERSHEYS' WOULD MAKE MORE MONEY IF THEY BROUGHT BACK THE BUTTERNUT.
My fond memories of the Butternut candy bar was back in 1960s. My older sister and I would sneak off to the store down the street from church and buy all the Butternuts our money could afford, which was normally 2. This was and will always be my favorite candy bar. Please bring it back!
I'm going to email Hersheys right now. Maybe if we make this public to the news, they will bring it back. LOL!
My goodness, I'm craving that wonderful taste of the butternut bar. Everyday I would buy this delicious treat and only for a nickel. I have to say it was the best best candy bar ever. I too will email Hershey to get on the ball. Wish me luck.
Why would a company not bring out that recipe to the most beloved Butternut candy bar. Hershey, if you are reading and want your stock to increase, please bring it back!!!
I was born in 1953. Butternut was a childhood staple for me. I couldn't even go straight to school or church without stopping at the neighborhood store for my Butternut "fix". This had to be the best tasting candy bar ever!
Born in 1959, butternut candy bar was my favorite candy and although I did not have a lot of money, somehow I managed to get my hands on a butternut candy bar. As a substitute, I buy a snicker bar which uses a darker chocolate then butternut and it suffices the taste since butternut is no longer in production. I often wonder why the people at butternut stopped production since the candy obvious had a positive impact on a lot of people.
Hard to believe after years of cravings and begging Hershey has not realized this could be one of the biggest solution to rebuilding the economy ever. BRING BACK THE BUTTERNUT !!!! Please???
SOME CANDY COMPANY CAN BECOME FILTHY RICH ALL OVER AGAIN......................... BUY THE RIGHTS TO THE BUTTRERNUT AND PUT IT OUT AGAIN, CAN'T YOU SEE THE DEMAND FOR THIS CANDY?
My Dad commuted to Manhattan from Staten Island on the ferry every day (1954-1957). Every once in a while, when I went to hug him, there would be bulge in his pocket! My favorite thing, a Butternut candy bar. Mom would scold him, I loved him all the more!
I love love love, and miss miss miss The Butternut Candy Bar. PLEASE Someone re-create that lovely bar. That was my all time favorite candy bar, and in my opinion, nothing on the market today even comes close.
I check this website from time to time and am encouraged by the new postings. If everyone would email Hersheys maybe they would listen. They wouldn't lose any money on re-introducing the Butternut candy bar. I too remember the Hershey's carmel nut egg. It WAS exactly like the Butternut candy bar. If they ever bring back that Easter egg I will buy cases of them and freeze them! Please everyone, email Hersheys!
I remember too, as a matter of fact I bought 2 Butternuts everyday, my Mom would send me to the store almost everyday and 1 Bigtime 2 squirrel nuts 3 oatmeal cookies all for 20cents. Bring it back Hershey Company we all our suffering.
Can any of you please describe the taste as you remember it in great detail? My aunt is like all of you....she misses this candy so much it makes her sad. I'm trying to develop a recipe that's close....if you guys can help me out, I will share what I come up with. Thank you!
Nothing comes close to the taste. Please bring it back, if only for a limited time.It should be coined Americas candy bar.
Checking in once again and I'm happy to see the new comments but I wanted to encourage everyone to go to facebook and the Hershey page. There you can leave comments on their wall. I've already done this twice and I got an email from Hershey's. Getting the butternut candy bar back is on my bucket list!
This was one of my favorite candy bars. Miss this and Milkshakes.
ButterNut was the best candy bar ever made. Did the company go out of business or what ButterNut and bag of potato chips, priceless!
Well still no Butternut from Hershey Morons wont bring it back. cause of snickers thats why I wont buy snickerws so please boycott the snickers. someone had one on ebay for sale. for 15.00 I didnt buy it cause you know that its not worth eating.
When my buddie relocated to NY from Al. in the early sixties, there were times we didn't have money for food. We made sure we had change to purchase a butternut for breakfast, our theory was that it would kill our appitite for most of the day. True story & the taste was great.
OMG I use to love Butternuts as well. Just last week while on our way to Tunica, we had a heated discussion about the Butternut. I said they were no longer being made, but others swore you could still buy them at Boomland. We stopped in Boomland and NO ONE seemed to know what the heck we were talking about - never even heard of Butternuts!!!! Of course They suggested Butterfingers - yuck!!!
in the 70's there was one store near Bastrop TX that still sold butternut. I loved the taste of that candy. Wish someone would bring back that bar.
butternut was the most delicious candy bar i ever tasted. hersheys company needs to remake it. i am sure the baby boomers would support them.
Butternut was also my favorite candy bar of all time. Am I the only one who feels Snickers tastes somewhat like a Butternut?
The Butternut candy bar was the best ever. My dad introduced itto when I was little. I find myself looking for it at every store I go to. BRING IT BACK.
BUTTERNUT candy bar was the GREASTEST candy bar in the world. Sweet memories. Wish I had two right now.
Me and my friends in the late 60s and early 70s use to gather up soda bottles out of the neighbor hood in our litter red wagon we would take them to the store in the hot sun for the butternut candy candy bar to make sure we had enough for every one we would cut them up and we did sure miss those days.
I too have fond memories of the Butternut candy bar-one of my favorites. My grandmother would always give me change to buy candy at the corner store(coincidentally across a church-just like some other posters here). The Butternut candy was a must! I often take a look in the candy aisle hoping to see it there. Hope they bring it back.
I just crave the Butternut Candy Bar.I have been looking for over thirty years. My grand mother loved the candy and she got me hooked on it. I wish they would pleasssssssssss bring it back. It's still my favorite.
We saw a commercial for Rolos and I said to my wife, that goes back a ways. She agreed, then I said do you remember the Butternut CandyBar. No, she said. It was the best tasting CandyBar ever I explained.
I wish the butternut candy bar would come back soon and very soon oh how well i rember the taste.
Okay, folks - correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe the Snickers bar is made by Mars, the M&M company. Why would that keep Hershey's from producing Butternut? I think they cut into Mars' profit and marketshare by giving Snickers some competition. To me their is no competition. Butternut was the best candy I EVER ate!
I've been trying to find the Butternut Candy Bar for years. It was my favorite candy in high school in the late 60's! I would go to the corner store, while waiting for the bus, and buy a bag of Noah chips, pickle and my beloved Butternut Candy Bar!
I saw Butternut candy bars in a Dollar Tree store in Ft Payne, AL within the last 2 years. Did not think much about it until I was telling my grand kids about them and how good they were. I decided to look them up on the internet and found this thread today. Has anyone else had similar sightings?
My very favorite candy bar. I am now 80 years old and still looking to find that bar, the best ever! We loved it frozen too. Please bring it back SOON. How much longer can I wait?
By far, my favorite candy bar ever! There are knock offs...other candy companies making their version, but just not the same! Try Goldenberg's Peanut Chews. Please bring it back!
Another visit to this site and glad to see people still commenting. :) I found a candybar that is very close to the taste of the Butternut. It's called Pearson Nut Goodie (carmel). At least I think it tastes very close. Sassy, you are correct...Snickers is made by Mars so there is no reason the Hershey co. could not bring back the Butternut. Please everyone, keep contacting Hersheys!
Butternut candy bars were the best candy bars ever made. My mother use to sell candy as a fund raiser for her church. Butternut was my ABSOLUTE favorite. I long for that taste still to this day. I have not had one since the early 70's. PLEASE BRING THEM BACK with the ORIGINAL RECIPE> PLEASE!!!! Who do I need to contact? Put ANY price you want on them. Just PLEASE BRING BACK BUTTERNUT CANDY BARS!!! The world is not the same without them. Just make 5 billion bars and STOP again if you so desire. I'd buy as many as ANY stores would sell me and I'd freeze them. I'd rather have butternut candy bars than bread. I MEAN IT! PLEASE BRING THEM BACK, PLEASE! That caramel, fresh peanuts, thin coat of milk chocolate, OMG! I NEED IT NOW!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh how I miss Butter nut candy bars. They were the best. It was a tied between Butternut and Baby Ruth candy bars. Thankfully baby ruth candy bars are still around, but it would be so nice if one of the candy manufacturers would remake the butter nut bars again using the same recipe. DO not change anything in it!!
If you saw a Butternut candy bar in a Dollar Tree store in Alabama then it would be about 20 years old.The company has been out of business a long time.Wish it was true though.
OH MY GOODNESS! This was the best candy bar EVER!!! So chewy. Man! They need to bring this back. After Butternut left I fell in love with snickers because it was the next close thing to butternut; but nothing like a good old butter nut bar. BRING BACK MY BUTTER NUT!!!!
I miss those tasty butternut candy bars. They was the best. If they were still around I would be buying them over any candy bar, as long as they taste the same way. I'll no if its the right candy bar.. I like to know why did they go out of business.
Dear Hollywood Candy Company...Until you bring back the Butternut Candy Bar and place them on every grocery shelf in America, no one in America will buy any of your other candy products. America, say Butternut if you agree!!!
BUTTERNUT!!!!!! I still dream of butternut candy bars today! I use to eat them until I got sick or break out in pimples. Non can compare...whoever made decision not to make them anymore made a serious mistake! So many years ago I bought my last butternut in a little country store (had not seen any in years), my mouth start watering when saw it could not wait to get in the car to tear into it. I opened it and it crumbled into so many tiny pieces...I think it was as old as I am. Please bring butternuts back...I will be 60 soon would love to have them to enjoy again...can I have the recipe at least!
I worked for Hollywood Candy thirty three years ago when they made the Butternut,Payday, Zero and Milkshake bars. Hollywood was owned by Consolidated Foods then, later bought by Leaf. We still made the Butternut until about twenty years ago when they closed the Centralia Illinois plant and sold out to Hershey. The Butternut was my favorite too but a Payday while it was still warm was pretty good too.
My boss brought up this candy bar today and I'd really like to make him a copycat of it. I'm getting that it was similar to a Snickers but the nougat was more firm and the caramel was more "burnt", is that about right? Any insight on their flavor and texture is much appreciated and if they turn out right, I will gladly share my recipe! Thank you!
Heck I'm 57 and still looking for the Butternut candy bar. Why on earth would they stop making something everybody likes, what's wrong with them? Hey do anybody have a copycat recipe?
I always make the comment to my friends that the Butternut candy was, by far, my very favorite candy bar of all time. I do not understand why even the old-fashioned candy stores do not carry Butternut. They would be taken aback by the popularity of it! I would promise to be a regular customer!! Let's get up a petition! There are plenty of us Butternut afficiandos to make a sizeable difference!
This was by far the best candy bar ever made, please, please bring it back for us baby boomers.
I encourage all of you posting messages on here to contact the Hershey company. They are the owners of the recipe for the candy bar. PLEASE, please, please. I've emailed them several times. If they see how many people really want the Butternut back they will consider it. All I want for Christmas is a Butternut!
The most enjoyable candy bar I have ever tasted & loved, I will always remember Butternut candy bars, bring um back!
Hersey does own the rights to this candy bar and the recipe is in their vaults. The old-tyme candy store owner in Memphis told my brother that he was told that Hershey is thinking about re-releasing this candy bar again because of the public outcry. Like all of you, it was my favorite candy bar and I have searched high and low as well for it. There are many different types of candy that was discontinued that I believe would still be hits today and I don't understand why they were discontinued. As concerned with profits as these companies are, you would think that they would try to meet consumer demand.
Butternut candy bar was the best ever, and is my all time favorite. My brother and I were just discussing the merits of this bar. Although I love the Snickers candy bar, it is a sad replacement for the Butternut. I will contact the Hershey Candy Company to ask that they revive the Butternut bar using the original recipe, if only for a limited time. I will surely purchase a quantity to last a while.
Butternut was my favorite candy bar. When my sister from Ohio came back to Mississippi in the 80's she would always take a box of butternut back with her. Please bring this candy back.
Hersheys bought the rights from Hollywood when this candy was discontinued. I contacted them and was told they have no plans to continue the Butternut. I grew up in Memphis and loved going by the store with a nickel to buy this candy bar. There's no taste like it. I'm glad I had the chance to taste it.
In my lifetime there's never been a better candy bar than butternut,please bring it back!
Just recently I have started buying the Snickers-Peanut Butter bar that has the two halves in the bar. This taste is the closest I have found to the original Butternut. It's not the same of course but it does remind me of the original Butternut. So if you want a sense of the taste of Butternut you should try one. But you'd better hurry before Snickers become extinct too. Just kidding.
Growing up in the 60s, it was my favorite candy bar. I would love to have it back. Even if it was just for a limited time. I bet the manufacturer could have a great market for this delicious treat.
I've longed for Butternut candy bars for years! I grew up eating them as a kid in the 60's & 70's. I've never found any candy bar I love as much as Butternut. I remember the jingle where the cow sang, "It's buttery...nuttery" and the elephant would reply, "nuttery...buttery" and they'd both say "Butternut." The closest taste to it would be a Snickers, but the chocolate was milkier & softer, the caramel was very buttery in flavor--almost like a butterscotch, with a dense nougat-like center & peanuts. I can taste it now. I always look for it in Cracker Barrel stores, like today. That made me Google the bars to see if they are available anywhere & that led me to this thread. I will join in emailing and commenting on Hersheys Facebook page in hopes that will help bring it back. Good to see I'm not the only one who loves that candy bar!
My wife and I was talking about how good the butternut candy bar was. We are baby boomers as well as a lot of you. There is no other candy bar that can compare to our beloved butternut.I will plead for Hershey to bring it back to us.
It is truly the best candy bar ever! The Oh Henry! bar is similar and is the closest that I've found to the taste of the Butternut candy bar. REALLY miss it.
We'd get boxes of Butternut candy bars to sell as a fundraiser and would always eat more than we sold. Mom and Dad weren't too happy when it was time to turn in the money but they ate their share also.
Butternut candy bar was the best. It would be nice if Hershey would consider bringing them back..even if it was for a limited time only. There are a lot of people that's willing to buy them.
I have been inquiring about this candy bar and no one I work with seems to know nothing of the sort. I loved it then and will continue to love it. It's my number one candy bar, nothing else compares. Please Hershey bring it back into existence!!!!
My sister gave me my first Butternut candy bar. It was the most delicious candy bar ever. I bought a bar every chance I got.Oh please bring it back.
the last one I ate I had found in a convenient store in Columbia Louisiana,and had not found one for a long time.bought two should have bought all they had.its a dam shame that people in power can buy a company and shut it down.this is something so many of us all over this country loved.
Loved Butternut. Would love to have another to share with my husband, who never had one.
Fond memories of the Butternut bar. Would go to the movies as a child in the 50's & always get a Butternut for a nickel. Wow.....those were the days. Would give anything for some Butternuts again!
When I was a kid I had a t shirt with a picture of that cartoon cow and elephant on it. There was a beach my family went to in the summer that sold those candy bars at their snack bar.
The BEST candy bar EVER! What I wouldn't do to have one now. I didn't realize so many other people missed it as much as I do. Butternut lovers unite!!!!
I Loved Butternut Candy bars! I used to buy one every afternoon break when I worked at GDC in Waterbury CT. in the early 1980's. Then all of a sudden, they were no longer found anywhere! it think its a shame that it can't be brought back!
Back in the early 60s almost everyday I would get a " Butternut. " Everything about the candy bar was fantastic. If I knew where I could buy some I would buy a (gross) of them! So NOW " MAKE SOME!! "
I remember as a kid in the late 60s, my dad would get me one of these when he would bring me to get a haircut. They were the best. I have looked online several times in hopes of stumbling across some.
The best candy bar ever made. I wish they would bring it back.
My mom absolutely loved Butter Nut candy bars, when ever we went to the corner store as kids, she would always ask us to bring one back for her....hence I loved them too!
The Butternut was the best! I found some at a 7-11 in Maywood IL store in 1993 I tried to buy the entire box!! The chewy center was not nougat, it was like caramel and something else. I wish the makers would sale the recipe and someone bring it back!!
I love the butter and I know you tried to replace it with snicker extra peanut bar but all your candy is too Sweet, the butter nut was more nuts than candy that that gave it the right amount of sweetness. Pleas bring the butternut bar back for a littler time just for Christmas so we can give them out as gift to our old time friends that would make a American great again.
I like candy bars like snickers, butter fingers and Reese's, but my all time favorite was butternut by far back in the 50's and 60's! I wish they would come back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh how I would love a *Butternut Candy Bar*! I remember the last one I bought at Coleman's Store. If I had known it would be the last one I would taste.... I would have bought a boat load of them and froze. Several years ago, I contacted Mars to see if they could bring it back. No success! Best candy bar EVER!!!
Woke up this morning craving a butternut candy bar, search the internet trying to order some cases and no success!
baby come back you can blame it all on hersheys. I NEED MY BUTTERNUT CANDY BAR SO I CAN GET TO MY HAPPY PLACE AGAIN.
Butternut was made by the Hollywood Co, which was bought out by several companies ending up w/Hershey. I think what made it so great was the quality ingredients (according to Wikipedia) Hollywood insisted on using. Maybe we can get everyone to bombard Hershey til they do at least a once a year production, so we can all get our fix (assuming the original recipe is still around).
Butternut was the best candy bar on the market, the day wasn't complete without one or more a day. I'm not sure why it was discontinued or who bought out the company. My greatest hope and prayer is that someone find the original recipe and produce it again. It will make millions.
Almost every day, lunch llne, first grade, put a Butternut down on my tray, 6 cents. Too bad not part of making America great again. Bring them back Hershey! Did someone lose the recipe?
I can't believe Hershey has not listened to all of us! I just emailed them again (for the 4th time). I know Butternut would be HUGE hit today. Please, if you visit this site take the time to email Hershey's. I submitted my last email as an idea. If they come out with the Butternut, even for a limited time I will buy enough to last my lifetime.
Just emailed Hershey again. I won't give up. They will get tired of my emails and maybe they will put Butternut back on the market. It would give Snickers a run for the money. I remember our public pool sold frozen Butternuts, Zeros and Milkshakes but my fav was always Butternut. I sometimes buy a Zero bar just for the memories. Please keep reaching out to Hershey. Maybe they will listen. I read an earlier comment that they were considering re-releasing the Butternut because of the outcry for them to return!
Grew up in San Antonio and loved this candy bar that was a rare treat for me back in the 60's and early 70's. Carmel, peanuts, chocolate and buttery, toasty, goodness. What else do you need? If others find out that Hershey is making the Easter eggs again they should post here so we can all enjoy this one of a kind candy bar again.

Details of the Grassley/Tillis H2B Cap Relief package have been announced. While this is great news for all H2B stakeholders, the bill has not been signed yet! Please read the details of the bill below and take appropriate action to ensure that this bill gets included in the 2019 FY government spending bill that will be voted on before December 7, 2018 December 22, 2018!
The following would go into effect immediately after the bill is signed.
A permanent increase in the cap from 66,000 to 132,000 visas.
Cap exempt visas, within specified SOC Codes, for workers performing work that directly supports the reconstruction or restoration of physical property and infrastructure or debris clean-up and removal related to natural disasters, in declared disaster states.
H-2B employers will be required to participate in the federal E-Verify program for all employees hired no later than 1 year after enactment of legislation AND within 3 years of enactment ALL hires made on or after October 1, 2012. For each worker who fails E-Verify, the employer may replace the worker with a cap exempt H-2B worker for up to three years. The worker would count against the cap after the third year.
Increase in the anti-fraud fee from $150 to $350 per petition.
Establishment of DOL electronic jobs registry. DOL will collect a fee from H-2B employers to pay for this registry.
Allocation of visas is changed from current bi-annual allocation to quarterly allocation (Oct-Dec- 14%, January-March: 45%, April-June: 39%, July-September 2%).
All H-2B employers with dates of need in a quarter will apply to DOL at the same time, regardless of the start date in the quarter. Employers can return to requesting their customary start date (ex. March 1) without fear of being 100% shut out of the program.
Employers who have received an approved visa petition in at least three of the last five years (compliant seasonal employers or CSEs) shall receive priority status for the available visas. No less than 15% of the visas shall go be distributed to new entrants to the program. If either of the visa categories (CSE, new entrants) is oversubscribed, visas shall be allocated on a proportional basis.
If either visa category is not exhausted during a given quarter, visas shall be transferred to the other category. If visas remain, visas shall roll over to the next quarter.
Now it is time for us to sell the package to ensure it makes it into the 2019 government funding bill.
The 2018 government funding bill is set to expire on December 7th (now extended until December 22).
Write the staff members for your Representatives who have jurisdiction over the H-2B issue to ask that their Members make a personal request to Speaker Ryan (if your Congressman is a Republican) and to Minority Leader Pelosi (if your Congressman is a Democrat).
Write the staff members for your Senators who have jurisdiction over the H-2B issue to ask that their Senators make a personal request to Majority Leader McConnell (if your Senator is a Republican) and to Minority Leader Schumer (if your Senator is a Democrat).
You can reach your elected officials through the Capitol Switchboard at 202-225-3121. Once connected to your Representative or Senator's office ask to speak to the person who handles H-2B issues. Please make these calls today!

Guided tour of the Hall (July)
Open for just 30 afternoons each year, the Hall is not always easy to visit. So – by popular demand – it will be open to the public for five extra afternoons this year. Because the Hall is relatively small, and general parking is limited, it has been decided to make the afternoons "by appointment only" and to lay on a guided tour. The tour will start from the main car park at 2:00am and will be taken by one of our highly knowledgeable guides. It will last in the region of an hour and a half and there will be time afterwards to walk around under your own steam. There will also be cake! The tour costs £12 per person (no concessions or HHA entry rates) without tea and cake afterwards, or £16 per person with. We do hope that you will be able to join us.

Aspects of Markenfield 3: The Parish of Markenfield Hall by Dr Brian Crosse, Timothy Knight and David Rhodes
The Parish of Markenfield Hall is a most unusual parish, partly on account of its unique 14th century moated hall and also because, over the centuries, the parish has remained small, its boundaries almost identical with those of the estate. Unlike surrounding parishes, no hamlet or village has grown up around the hall. Through the ages the name has changed from Merchefeld to Markenfield with the main variants being Merchingfeld, Merkingfeld, Markynfeld, Merkyngefelde, Markinfeild and Markingefeild. In addition, it has been a manor, parke, mannor, hall and today it is the Parish of Markenfield Hall. The parish has at present only five registered adult residents, in a total of five dwellings with a potential of perhaps ten voters. Needless to say it does not have the population for a Parish Council but does have Parish Meetings twice a year. It might have been so different had the Reformation not dissolved the adjoining Fountains Abbey or had the nearby mediaeval village of Aismunderby not been deserted, possibly due to the plague...
Aspects of Markenfield 4: The Grantley Window in Ripon Cathedral by Dr Brian Crosse
"Six years ago, the then Chairman of the Friends of Markenfield, asked if someone would do a write-up of the Grantley window. Both Bill Forster and Diana Balmforth, had already written about it, in their booklets about the Cathedral windows. – I said, if it was to be done again, it should be done in depth. I didn't realise, what I was letting myself in for..." Dr Brian Crosse. Many of the Markenfields were buried in the north transept of Ripon Minster. Members of the Norton family, have been buried in many places around Ripon, and family members are commemorated at five places in the Cathedral. In the north aisle, the second window from the east (near the pulpit) is a fine heraldic window. This dates from 1840, and was commissioned by another Fletcher Norton, the third Lord Grantley of Markenfield. The window's artist was Thomas Willement, who was heraldic artist to George IV, and artist in stained glass to Queen Victoria. His monogram, TW, can be seen in the bottom right-hand corner of the window. Almost uniquely within the Cathedral, this window has no religious content. Instead, it is 'a celebration of dynastic splendour'. Such windows were quite the norm in the 18th century, when almost all the windows here, were heraldic. Willement was also responsible, for some of the heraldic glass, displayed in the east window of the Cathedral Library...

Criminal investigation into Gold King Mine spill confirmed
Probe essential to 'ensuring justice' for those impacted by disaster
By Peter Marcus Herald Staff Writer
Tuesday, Aug. 2, 2016 3:49 AM
Follow @MediaMarcus
The Gold King Mine as seen from an EcoFlight recently near Silverton. Federal officials announced this week that a criminal investigation into the Aug. 5, 2015, blowout at the mine is underway.
Jerry McBride/Durango Herald file
DENVER – Federal investigators have confirmed that a criminal investigation is going in connection to last year's Gold King Mine spill.
The Environmental Protection Agency Office of Inspector General said in a news release Friday that it launched the criminal probe – which has been underway since last year – in response to "high public interest."
"Based on requests from several members of the House and Senate, the OIG is conducting both a program evaluation and a criminal investigation of the Gold King Mine spill," the release stated.
The Office of Inspector General is an independent office within the EPA that performs audits, program evaluations and investigations of the EPA.
The scope of the criminal investigation could be expansive, according to the OIG.
"The OIG will investigate any individuals who have a nexus to the potential criminal activity falling under its jurisdiction," said Jeff Lagda, spokesman for the Inspector General's Office. "However, any potential criminal activity that is determined to be outside the nexus of the OIG will be referred to the appropriate law enforcement agency."
As an example, Lagda said if the potential criminal activity involved a drug crime, it would be referred to the Drug Enforcement Administration, or local law enforcement.
The news release announcing the criminal probe was distributed across the country, though it did not make it to The Durango Herald, despite promises by federal officials to prioritize communications with the local community.
"The people of Durango and Southwestern Colorado should have been the first to know," said Colorado U.S. Sen. Cory Gardner, a Republican.
In the wake of the Aug. 5, 2015, Gold King Mine spill, the EPA was criticized for delays in communication with local governments and communities.
A spokesman for the OIG apologized for not sending the release and downplayed its significance, pointing out that the investigation has been underway for some time.
"We didn't think that this would get so much interest because ... it was just simply a pause of the evaluation by our evaluators, but to also let folks know that the ongoing investigation was still continuing," Lagda said.
Gardner, however, believes there is great significance to the announcement, which confirmed for the first time that a "criminal" investigation is taking place.
"It's a big deal," Gardner said. "You don't criminally investigate the federal government every day. Maybe they're trying to downplay this to keep it at a low-key level."
A letter to U.S. senators on June 29 – including Gardner – stated that a program evaluation began on Aug. 17, 2015. On Nov. 4, 2015, the OIG identified "additional issues."
"There is investigative material that we cannot reveal in any report about our program evaluation until the investigation reaches a point where the U.S. Department of Justice and the EPA OIG's Office of Investigations inform us that we may do so," states the letter to Gardner. "Many of your questions to us, including those that go to the heart of what you asked us to address, directly implicate and will have to be answered in part by investigative results that are not currently releasable."
U.S. Sen. John McCain, R-Arizona, in April called on the Senate Indian Affairs Committee to subpoena EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy to appear at an April 22 field hearing in Arizona. It wasn't the first time Congress pushed subpoenas stemming from the disaster.
Conflicting reports have cast shadows over the conversation, resulting in the House Committee on Natural Resources issuing subpoenas to Interior Secretary Sally Jewell and Lt. Gen. Thomas Bostick with the Army Corps of Engineers.
In pushing for the subpoenas and additional information, members of Congress also called for a criminal probe into the incident.
"There's no question as to the EPA's culpability for this spill, and this criminal investigation is critical to ensuring justice is served for all those impacted by this terrible disaster," McCain said in statement issued Monday.
The spill released an estimated 3 million gallons of mustard yellow toxic mining sludge into the Animas River. The polluted water traveled into New Mexico and Utah.
The EPA has acknowledged fault, which it said was the result of insufficient planning during excavation work at the entrance to the mine near Silverton. Debris gave way after the EPA team failed to properly assess pressure inside the mine.
In a separate report issued Monday, the EPA reiterated its culpability, but it also worked to connect the state to the incident, suggesting that the Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety was part of the planning.
State officials, however, have maintained since last year that the state had no oversight over planning and work at the mine.
The issue could play into two lawsuits stemming from the incident, including one filed by New Mexico against Colorado in the nation's high court.
Documents released in February stemming from a congressional investigation into the spill revealed that the EPA was aware of the potential for a blowout and may have deceived the public following the catastrophe.
Hays Griswold, the EPA employee who led restoration efforts at Gold King, said in an Oct. 28 internal EPA email that he "personally knew it could be holding back a lot of water and I believe the others in the group knew as well."
But Griswold told the Denver Post shortly after the spill that "nobody expected it (the acid water backed up in the mine) to be that high." A day after the spill, Griswold told The Durango Herald that the EPA planned to clear the dirt blocking the tunnel to install a pipe to pump out the contaminated water in the mine.
U.S. Rep. Scott Tipton, R-Cortez, said Tuesday, "The people of this community have every right to a full accounting of the EPA's actions or inactions that led to the Gold King Mine disaster and the agency's failures to communicate and respond in its wake.
"I welcome this investigation, hope it provides answers to looming questions and delivers accountability that has been sorely missing at the EPA."

Q: How to find out the index of the record in which it is being written I have variable
MyList : array [1..5] of TMyRecord;

type
    TMyRecord = record
    private
      FSize : Integer;
    procedure SetSize(const Value: Integer);
    public
      property Size : Integer read FSize write SetSize;
    end;

In this variable I write multiple times, to different indexes.
How do I find out the index of the record in which it is being written during procedure SetSize?

A: In your example, the code that writes to a record of MyList makes the choice of which record it writes to. E.g. you probably have some code like this:
MyList[2].Size := 31000;

Your implementation of SetSize() is obviously:
procedure TMyRecord.SetSize(const Value: Integer);
begin
  FSize := value;
end;

Within the SetSize() procedure it is not possible to know the index, and I don't really understand why it would need to know. In fact, the record doesn't even know (neither needs to know) that it is a member of MyList

A: If, and only if, SetSize() has access to MyList, then it can figure out the index for itself by looping through MyList looking for the element that matches its Self pointer, eg:
procedure TMyRecord.SetSize(const Value: Integer);
var
  index: Integer;
begin
  for index := Low(MyList) to High(MyList) do
  begin
    if @MyList[index] = Self then
    begin
      // use index as needed...
      break;
    end;
  end;
end;

I do not recommend this approach, but it is possible.
A better solution would be to pass the desired index to SetSize().
You could pass it in as an input parameter to the Size property, eg:
type
  TMyRecord = record
  private
    FSize : Integer;
    function GetSize(const Index: Integer): Integer;
    procedure SetSize(const Index, Value: Integer);
  public
    property Size[Index: Integer] : Integer read GetSize write SetSize;
  end;

var
  MyList : array [1..5] of TMyRecord;

...

function TMyRecord.GetSize(const Index: Integer): Integer;
begin
  // use Index as needed...
  Result := FSize;
end;

procedure TMyRecord.SetSize(const Index, Value: Integer);
begin
  // use Index as needed...
  FSize := Value;
end;

...

MyList[SomeIndex].Size[SomeIndex] := 31000;

Again, not very clean, but possible.
I would suggest storing the index as a member of the record instead, if possible, eg:
type
  TMyRecord = record
  private
    FIndex : Integer;
    FSize : Integer;
    procedure SetSize(const Value: Integer);
  public
    property Index : Integer read FIndex write FIndex;
    property Size : Integer read FSize write SetSize;
  end;

var
  MyList : array [1..5] of TMyRecord;

...

procedure TMyRecord.SetSize(const Value: Integer);
begin
  // use FIndex as needed...
  FSize := Value;
end;

...

for I := Low(MyList) to High(MyList) do
  MyList[I].Index := I;

...

MyList[SomeIndex].Size := 31000;

Scott Van Moppes Named Airport Director
On December 5, 2016 in General
Conway, South Carolina-Interim Horry County Department of Airports Director Scott Van Moppes has been named the new Airport Director.
Horry County Administrator Chris Eldridge stated, "I am proud to promote Scott to Director of the Horry County Department of Airports. Scott is an example of hard work, dedication and striving to do the things necessary to move up in levels of responsibility. He brings 12 years of airport experience, an intimate knowledge of airport systems, and a desire to see the county's airports continue to grow and improve."

The definition of a contract is "a legally-binding promise made between two or more parties." Those who violate the terms set forth in a contract can be held legally liable for breach of contract and be ordered to pay damages. Courts will uphold legally binding contracts, unless they are against public policy, are otherwise unlawful or were inaccurately drafted or fraudulent.
Mutuality of obligation -- Often described as "meeting of the minds," this term refers to the agreement between the parties on the specifics of the matter at hand.
Offer -- This is the first component of the mutuality of obligation, and is the manifestation of one party's willingness to enter into a bargain with the other party; a proposed exchange to another individual.
Acceptance -- The second and final component of the mutuality of obligation is the manifestation of agreement to the offer's terms. An acceptance can be made in several ways. Sometimes the offer specifies a type of acceptance, meaning that the offeree must accept the bargain in a certain way, by the promised act being performed or by a return promise. In many courts of law, acceptance can be tendered by any reasonable means unless otherwise indicated. It ise understood that, upon the other party's acceptance, a deal has been struck.
Definite terms -- For a contract to be legally binding, the offer must spell out certain obligations of the bargain that are considered reasonably certain.
Consideration -- This is the exchange between the parties of something of value. It does not have to be money; it can be profits or benefits or responsibilities or losses that are assumed or incurred. The term "legal detriment" applies here to consideration, meaning that one party can abstain from an action they are legally entitled to perform or, alternatively, may do an action that they are not otherwise obliged to do to fulfill contractual terms. However, past consideration is not enough to form a contract.
Two final elements comprise a legal contract. It must have been made for legal purposes between parties who are legally competent. If either of those are negated, the contract may be rendered unenforceable.
A unilateral contract is one wherein the offeree is required to accept an offer by the performance of the contract. If there is no performance, breach of contract is inapplicable because a contract does not exist.
A bilateral contract is one where the offer is accepted by the offeree with a promise, as when an offeree makes a promise to fulfill a specific obligation at some future point. If this obligation remains unfulfilled, a breach of contract has occurred as the promise alone was the acceptance.
A bare contract is simply a promise made by one individual to another without the element of consideration to make it legally enforceable by the courts.
A fixed price contract specifies an amount of money that shall be given upon completion of a specific project, as when a structure is being built. The fixed price may be firm or adjustable with a specific target price and maximum price.
A cost reimbursement contract is used in lieu of a fixed price contact and is sometimes referred to as a "cost-plus contract." They are commonly used by individuals, businesses and government entities on building or other projects where materials must be purchased. Its terms specify that the one performing the work, i.e., the contractor must be compensated for said costs which are unknown at the time the contract is drawn up. Additional funds are also promised so that a profit is made as well.
Adhesion contracts make up the bulk of contracts that are signed. These are completely one-sided and considered to be a "take it or leave it" proposal where one side retains all the bargaining power and the other can either sign it or not. Cellphone contracts, rental agreements, documents signed for car purchases all fall into this contractual category.
When one party doesn't live up to the obligation to perform some action after a valid offer was accepted, a material breach of contract can occur. Actual damages must be suffered in order to pursue a claim in court.
Because there are many complexities and contingencies involved in business contracts, retaining an attorney familiar with the ins and outs of contractual law is recommended.


I have a 4 shaft, direct tie-up folding Dorset Loom that I purchased about 4 years ago. It is a great little loom but I've wanted a loom with more shafts for a while.
Having a minimum of 8 shafts would be great but more is always better! Then there is the size - I would want a weaving width that this wider than the Dorset which is about 20", as I think I would do some rugs, and for that the loom has to be floor loom. Then should it fold or be fixed. Either way the loom can get rather big. I have the space in the house for it but when I retire and if we move, would I have the space for it then?? And then there is the cost - they are not cheap used and finding a used one locally (so I don't have shipping costs) is not easy.
And... if the new loom could be folded, would I sell the Dorset???
ohhhh, be still my palpitating heart.
I started to stalk eBay, Craig's List, Weaving Store websites, used equipment sites hoping to snag one.
Then this past Sunday, I found on eBay a used 16-Shaft loom.
It is a Northwest Loom Pioneer table loom that has a weaving width of 20". So I snagged it for $350 which is half of what it would cost new. I figure if I want to make something more than 20" I can do a double width and still have 8 shafts!
I was back at the cardiologist on Tuesday morning. This was a follow up to see how the BP medication was working. It has helped some but not quite enough as my diastolic readings are still high and the pains and palpitations have not abated.
As are result the Doctor has put me on a calcium channel blocker. It will do two things, lower my bp a bit more and hopefully reduce the pains the palpitations. If the channel blocker doesn't seem to help in two weeks I am to up the dose. I am also supposed to continue monitoring my BP and write down when I have events.
My next follow up is 2 months unless things do not get better and at that time she would consider a long term heart monitor and possibly an angio as it would be the last test to do.
BUT the Doctor is not denying that I have a heart issue as there is my high blood pressure and the traces from the EKG do show something going on.
So I started the CB Wednesday and I have been even more tired for the past few days. I think my body has adjusted to the meds because I was not as tired when I woke up this morning.
All of this means still taking it easy, lots of sleep and no metal working for a while longer.
I have been on the BP medications for almost a month now. I have been recording my BP almost every day and yes I am feeling somewhat better but then there are days I feel horrible.
I am going see my endocrinologist on Friday the 9th and then back to the cardiologist the following week. I am seeing the endo to ensure that my thyroid meds and the hormone replacements I am taking are not too hight as they can cause heart palpitations.
Depending on those results, the cardiologist will either increase/decrease/change my blood pressure meds and/or add a channel blocker and possibly schedule an angiogram to determine if the doctors can actually see some problem - as we still don't know why this is happening.
Some days I feel like I am handling it all well and other days I just want it to be over.
And yes, the weaving is calmer and more relaxing that hammering away on metal. That has to do with keeping my BP down and how tired I get. The added benefit is that when I am down at the weaving barn I am socializing (and not with friends from work) and making new friends. Some of the ladies at the barn have been weaving for almost 40 years and I am the "kid" of the group!!!
I just finished the scarf for Myra - I put pictures on my FB feed last night. It is 80" long, I think that she will be able to wrap that around her neck several times!
I am also doing some chain maille (weaving of a different sort). I made a dragon scale bracelet for me - which I ended up selling to a friend. I am now making another dragon scale for another woman at work and another one for me. PLUS I am working on a Byzantine bracelet today which is yet another sale!
