On or about May 26, 1925, the United States attorney for the Western Dis- 
trict of Washington, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, 
filed in the District Court of the United States for said district four libels 
praying the seizure and condemnation of 5 cases of butter, remaining in the 
original unbroken packages at Seattle, Wash., alleging that the article had 
been shipped by the Corvallis Creamery Co., Portland, Oreg., arriving at 
Seattle on or about May 25, 1925, and transported from the State of Oregon 
into the State of Washington, and charging misbranding in violation of the 
food and drugs act as amended. The article was labeled in part: (Carton) 
"Gold Medal Brand Heathized Butter Pasteurized Corvallis Creamery Co. 
Inc.," in part "Dainty Quarters," (quarters labeled) "Weight Four Ounces."
It was alleged in the libel that the article was misbranded in violation of 
section 8 of the act paragraphs 2 and 3 under " Food," in that it was short 
weight, and the net weight was not declared on the principal label.
On or about June 18, 1925, the Corvallis Creamery Co., Inc., Portland, Oreg., 
having appeared as claimant for the property and having paid the costs of the 
proceedings, judgment of condemnation was entered, and it was ordered by 
the court that the product be released to the said claimant tobe reconditioned 
and relabeled under the supervision of this department, said decree providing 
that the claimant execute a bond, or deposit certified check in the amount of 
$150, to insure compliance with the law.
R. W. DUNLAP, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
