7335. Adulteration and Misbranding of Daisy Dairy Feed. U.S. * * * v. SOOCasescf Daisy 
Dairy Feed. Consent decree of condemnation and forfeiture. Product ordered re- 
leased on bond.   (F. & D. No. 9995.   I. S. No. 16306-r.   S. No. E-I283.)
On March4, 1919, the United States attorney for the Northern District of Georgia, 
acting upon'a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the District Court of the 
United States for said district a libel for the seizure and condemnation of 200 cases 
of Daisy Dairy Feed, remaining unsold in the original unbroken packages at Gaines- 
ville, Ga., alleging that the article had been shipped on or about December 31, 1918, 
by the Sutherland Flour Mills Co., Cairo, Ill., and transported from the State of 
Illinois into the State of Georgia, and charging adulteration and misbranding in vio- 
lation of the Food and Drugs Act. Said article was labeled in part, "Daisy Dairy 
Feed * * * Analysis: Protein, 13.25 per cent; Fat, 3.50 per cent; Fibre, 12.50 
per cent. . Sutherland Flour Mills Co., Cairo, Ill."
Adulteration of the article was alleged in substance in the libel for the reason that 
a substance containing lower percentages of protein and fat and a higher percentage 
of fiber than those indicated on the label and tag had been mixed and packed there- 
with and had been substituted wholly or in part for the article so as to reduce, lower, 
and injuriously affect the quality of the said product.
Misbranding of the article was alleged for the reason that the statements borne on 
the tags attached to the sacks containing the article, regarding it and the ingredients 
and substances contained therein, were false and misleading in that the product did 
not contain 13.25 per cent of protein and did not contain 3.5 per cent of fat and con- 
tained more than 12.5 per cent of fiber, and for the further reason that it was labeled as 
aforesaid so as to deceive and mislead the purchaser and cause him to believe that the 
product contained 13.25 per cent of protein, 3.5 per cent of fat, and only 12.5 per 
cent of fiber, whereas, in truth and in fact, it did not contain 13.25 per cent of protein, 
and 3.5 per cent of fat and contained more than 12.5 per cent of fiber.
On May 3, 1919, the said Sutherland Flour Mills Co., claimant, having admitted 
the allegations of the libel, judgment of condemnation and forfeiture was entered
and it was ordered by the court that the product should be delivered to said claimant 
upon the payment of the costs of the proceedings and the execution of a bond in the 
sum of $250, in conformity with section 10 of the act.
E. D. BALL, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
