9610. Misbranding of  cottonseed   meal.     U.   S.     *     *     *     v.   Planters   Mfg.
Co., a Corporation.    Plea of guilty.    Fine, $50 and costs.     (F. & D.
No.  9894.    I.  S. No.  15420-p.)
On January 27, 1920, the United States attorney for the Northern District 
of Mississippi, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed 
in the District Court of the United States for said district an information 
against the Planters Mfg. Co., a corporation, Clarksdale, Miss., alleging ship- 
ment by said company, in violation of the Food and Drugs Act, as amended, on 
or about January 8, 1918, from the State of Mississippi into the State of 
Illinois, of a quantity of cottonseed meal which was misbranded.
Misbranding of the article was alleged in the information for the reason 
that it was food in package form, and the quantity of the contents was not 
plainly and conspicuously marked on the outside of the package.
On October 19, 1920, a plea of guilty to the information was entered on 
behalf of the defendant company, and the court imposed a fine of $50 and 
costs.
C. W. PUGSLEY, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
