5001. Adulteration and misbranding of cottonseed meal. IT. S. * * *?
-v. 20 Tons (400 Bags) of Cottonseed Meal. Decree of condemna??
tion and forfeiture.     Goods released  on bond.     (F. & D.  No.  306-c.)
On March 1, 1916, the United States attorney for the Western District of?
Virginia, acting upon a report by the Dairy and Food Commissioner of the State?
of Virginia, authorized by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the District?
Court of the United States for the said district a libel for the seizure and con??
demnation of 20 tons (400 bags) of cottonseed meal, remaining unsold in the?
original unbroken packages at Waynesboro, Va., alleging that the article had?
been shipped on January 27, 1916, by W. Newton Smith, Baltimore, Md., and?
transported from the State of Maryland into the State of Virginia, and charging?
adulteration and misbranding in violation of the Food and Drugs Act.
It was alleged in the libel that the article was adulterated and misbranded?
in that it contained only 85.06 per cent protein, a valuable constituent thereof,?
while it was guaranteed to contain 38.62 per cent, and was therefore adulterated?
in violation of section 7 of the Food and Drugs Act and misbranded in violation?
of section 8 of the same act.
On November 2. 1916, the said W. Newton Smith, claimant, having appeared?
but declining to answer, and the cause having been submitted to the court by?
agreement, judgment of condemnation and forfeiture was entered, and it was?
ordered that the product should be delivered to said claimant, bond in the sum?
of $700. in conformity with section 10 of the act, having been executed by the?
claimant and approved by the court, and the costs of the proceedings having been?
paid by said claimant.
