and destruction.     (F. & D. No.' L6693.    I. S. No. 4455-v.    S. No. C-3743.)
On August 2, 1922, the United States attorney for the Southern District of?
Ohio, 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 condem??
nation of 18 sacks of feeding tankage, consigned March 27, 1922, alleging that?
the article had been shipped from Syracuse, N. Y., and transported from the?
State of New York into the State of Ohio, and charging adulteration and mis??
branding in violation of the Food and Drugs Act. The article was labeled in?
part: (Tag) " Motts Feeding Tankage Protein 18?, Fat 4?, Fibre under 11?,?
From A. G. Motts Company * * * Household Garbage Constituted prin??
cipal materials.   Carefully picked over.    Undesirable refuse removed."
Adulteration of the article was alleged in the libel for the reason that glass?
had been mixed and packed and substituted wholly or in part for the said?
article.
Misbranding was alleged for the reason that the statements " Fat 4? " and?
"Fibre under 11? '\were false and misleading and deceived and misled pur??
chasers.
On November 27, 1922, no claimant having appeared for the property, judg??
ment of condemnation and forfeiture was entered, and it was ordered by the?
court that the product be destroyed by the United States marshal.
C. W. PUGSLEY, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
