On March 30, 1922, the United States attorney for the Northern District?
of Florida, 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 130 sacks of cottonseed meal, remaining in the original?
unbroken packages at Apalachicola, Fla., alleging that the article had been?
shipped by the Eufaula Cotton Oil Co., Eufaula, Ala., in part on or about
N. J. 10901-10950]     SERVICE  AND REGULATORY ANNOUNCEMENTS.      515
November 10, and in part on or about November 23, 1921, and transported?
from the State of Alabama into the State of Florida, and charging misbrand??
ing in violation of the Food and Drugs Act. The article was labeled in part:?
(Tag) "100 Lbs. Standard Cotton Seed Meal Ammonia 7 per cent Protein?
36 per cent Fat 6 per cent Carbohydrates 30 per cent Fibre 14 per cent?
Ingredients: Cotton Seed Meal and Hulls Manufactured by Eaufaula Cotton?
Oil Co., Eufaula, Ala."
Misbranding of the article was alleged in substance in the libel for the?
reason that the above-quoted statements, appearing on the labeling of the?
said article, were false and misleading in that the said article did not contain?
the substances as set forth in the said statements but was deficient in ammonia?
and protein and contained peanut hulls and excessive quantities of fiber?
product.
On May 8, 1922, the Eufaula Cotton Oil Co., Eufaula, Ala., claimant, having?
paid the costs of the proceedings and executed a good and sufficient bond, in?
conformity with section 10 of the act, it was ordered by the court that the?
product be released to the said claimant.
