On July 12, 1921, the United States attorney for the Western District of New 
York, 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
Buffalo Vegetable Marketing Co., a corporation, Buffalo, N. Y., alleging ship- 
ment by said company, on or about July 16, 1920, in violation of the Food and 
Drugs Act, as amended, from the State of New York into the State of Missouri, 
•of a quantity of green peas which were 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 25, 1921, a plea of guilty to the information was entered on 
behalf of the defendant company, and the court imposed a fine of $25.
C. W. PUGSLEY, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
