13319. Adulteration and misbranding of bleached grain. V. S. v. 27X> 
Sacks of Bleached Grain. Decree of condemnation and forfeiture. 
Product released under bond to be relabeled. (F. & D. No. 18(390. 
I. S. No. 18304-v.    S. No. E-3927.)
On May 21, 1924, the United States attorney for the Southern District of 
Georgia, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the 
District Court of the United States for said district a libel praying the seizure 
and condemnation of 270 sacks of bleached grain, remaining in the original 
unbroken packages at Augusta, Ga., alleging that the article had been shipped 
by S. Zorn & Co., from Louisville, Ky., on or about May 7, 1924, and transported 
from the State of Kentucky into the State of Georgia, and charging adulteration 
and misbranding in violation of the food and drugs act. The* article was 
labeled in part: (Sack) " Cresent Mixed Oats Other Grains Zorn Bleached 
Grain," (tag) "150 Lbs. Bleached Crescent Grain Made By S. Zorn, & Co. 
Louisville, Ky.    *    *    *    Ingredients: Oats, Barley And Other Grains."
Adulteration of the article was alleged in the libel for the reason that a sub- 
stance, screenings, had been substituted wholly or in part for the said article.
Misbranding was alleged for the reason that the designation " Mixed Oats " 
was false and misleading and deceived and misled the purchaser, in that it 
represented that the article was mixed oats, whereas it was not mixed oats 
but was screenings, and the words " Other Grains " did not correct the mis- 
leading impression conveyed. Misbranding was alleged for the further reason 
that the designation " Oats," borne on the tag attached to the sack, was false 
and misleading and deceived and misled the purchaser, in that it represented 
that the article was oats, barley, and other grains, whereas it was not oats, 
barley, and other grains but was screenings.
-On June 17, 1924, S. Zorn & Co., Louisville, Ky., having appeared as claimant 
for the property, judgment of condemnation and forfeiture 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 relabeled " Bleached Crescent Grain Screenings."
R. W. DUNLAP, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
