On May 16, 1924, the United States attorney for the Middle District of Tennessee, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the District Court of the Unitedi States for said district a libel praying the seizure and condemnation of 300 sacks of Cresent mixed oats, remaining in the original unbroken packages at Clarksville, Tenn., alleging that the article had been shipped by S. Zorn and Co., Louisville, Ky., on or about May 7, 1924,x and transported from the State of Kentucky into the State of Tennessee, and charg- ing adulteration and misbranding in violation of the food and drugs act. The article was labeled in part: " Cresent Mixed) Oats * * * Other Grains Zorn Bleached Grain." Adulteration of the article was alleged in the libel in that a substance, screenings, had been substituted wholly or in part for the said article. Misbranding was alleged in that the designation " Mixed Oats" was false and misleading and deceived and) misled the purchaser, and the words " Other Grains," inconspicuously placed on the label, did not correct the misleading impression conveyed. Misbranding was alleged for the further reason that the article was offered for sale under the distinctive name of another article. On June 4, 1924, S. Zorn & Co., Louisville, Ky., having appeared as claimant for the property, judgment of condemnation was entered, and it was ordered by the court that the product be released to the said claimant upon payment of the costs of the proceedings and the execution of a bond in the sum of $1,000, in conformity with section 10 of the act, conditioned in part that it be re- labeled, "Bleached! Oresent Grain Screenings." W. M. JAEMNE, Secretary of Affrioulture. 7Y ?Y& *>
