(F. & D. No. 9817.    I. S. No. 8965-p.)
On January 28, 1919, the United States attorney for the Western District of 
Louisiana, 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 Monroe Cotton Oil Co., a corporation, having a place of business at Monroe, 
La., alleging shipment by said company, on or about March 9, 1918, in violation 
of the Food and Drugs Act, as amended, from the State of Louisiana into the 
State of Kansas, of a quantity of unlabeled cottonseed cake, invoiced as " Su- 
preme Brand Cracked Screened Cake," 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 18, 1920, a plea of guilty to the information was entered on be- 
half of the defendant company, and the court imposed a fine of $100 and costs.
C. W. PUGSLEY, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
