of guilty.    Fine, $50.     (F. & D. No.  19299.    I.  S. Nos.  12218-v,  12227-v.)
On February 26, 1925, the United States attorney for the Northern District 
of California, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in 
the District Court of the United States for said district an information 
against A. Levy & J. Zentner Co., a corporation, San Francisco, Calif., alleging
shipment by said company, in violation of the food and drugs act as amended, 
in two consignments, namely on or about May 29 and June 6, 1924, respec- 
tively, from the State of California into the State of Colorado of quantities of 
green peas, in unmarked hampers, which weremisbranded.
Misbranding of the article was alleged in the information for the reason that 
it was food in package form and the quantity of the contents was not plainly 
and conspicuously marked on the outside of the package.
On April 12, 1925, a plea of guilty to the information was entered on behalf 
of the defendant company, and the court imposed a fine of $50.
C. F. MAKVIN, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
