age. Consent decree of condemnation and forfeiture. Product 
released  under   bond.     (F.   &  D.   No.   20774.    I.   S.   No.   357-x.    S.   No.
C-3028.)
On January 19, 1926, the United States attorney for the District of Nebraska, 
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 condemna- 
tion of 20 bags of feeding tankage, at Scottsbluff, Nebr., alleging that the 
article had been shipped by the Western Seed Co., from Denver, Colo., on or 
about January 4, 1926, and transported from the State of Colorado into the 
State of Nebraska, and charging misbranding in violation of the food and drugs 
act. The article was labeled in part: " Feeding Tankage Analysis Protein 
80%."
Misbranding of the article was alleged in the libel for the reason that the 
statement "Protein 60%," borne on the label, was false and misleading and 
deceived and misled the purchaser.
On February 25, 1926, the Western Seed Co., Denver, Colo., claimant, having 
admitted the allegations of the libel and having consented to the entry of a 
judgment of condemnation and forfeiture, a decree was entered, finding the 
product misbranded, 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 $300, conditioned in part that it be 
relabeled under the supervision of this department, " Protein 54%."
R. W. DTJNLAP, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
