13302. Misbranding- of horse and mole feed.    V. S. v. 50 Sacks of Horse and
Mule Feed. Consent decree of condemnation and forfeiture. 
Product released under bond to be relabeled. (F. & D. No. 19569. 
I. S. No. 16626-v.     S. No. E-5131.)
On February 9, 1925, the United States attorney for the Eastern District 
of North Carolina, 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 50 sacks of horse and mule feed, remaining 
in the original unbroken packages at Raleigh, N. C, consigned by the Atlantic 
Milling Co., Atigusta, Ga., alleging that the article had been shipped on or 
about January 26, 1925, from Atlanta, Ga., and transported from the State 
of Georgia into the State of North Carolina, and charging misbranding in viola- 
tion of the food and drugs act. The article was labeled in part: (Tag) "Amco 
Horse and Mule Feed Manufactured By Atlantic Milling Company, Augusta, 
Ga.    Guaranteed Analysis Protein 10% Fat 2% Fibre 15%."
Misbranding of the article was alleged in substance in the libel for the 
reason that the labeling bore statements, designs, and devices, to wit, " Guar- 
anteed Analysis Protein 10% Fat 2% Fibre 15%," which were false and mis- 
leading and deceptive to the purchaser.
On March 23, 1925, the Atlantic Milling Co., Augusta, Ga., claimant, having 
admitted the allegations of the libel and having consented to the entry of a 
decree, 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 $200, in conformity with section 10 of the act, conditioned in part that 
it be relabeled by changing the guaranteed analysis to read "Protein 7^%, 
Fat 1%%, Fibre 17%%," and that the word "Oats" be stricken from the 
statement of ingredients and the words " Peanut Hulls " added thereto.
