On or about March 20, 1926, the United States attorney for the District of 
Colorado, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, "filed in the 
District Court of the United States for said district a libel praying seizure and 
condemnation of 200 sacks of cottonseed meal and 100 sacks of cottonseed cake, 
remaining unsold in the original unbroken packages at Denver, Colo., consigned 
by the Childress Cotton Oil Co., Childress, Tex., alleging that ;the article had 
been shipped from Childress, Tex., on or about March 3, 1926, and transported 
from the State of Texas into the State of Colorado, and charging misbranding 
in violation of the food and drugs act. The article was labeled In part: 
" ' Chickasha Prime ' Cottonseed Cake or Meal * * * Guaranteed Analysis : 
Protein not less than 43 per cent * * * Chickasha Cotton Oil Co., Kansas 
City, Mo."

Misbranding of the article was alleged in the libel for the reason that the 
statement " Protein not less than 43 per cent," borne on the labels, was false 
and misleading and deceived and misled the purchaser, since it did not con- 
tain 43 per cent of protein.

On May 21, 1926, the Childress Cotton Oil Co., Childress, Tex., claimant, hav- 
ing 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 $800, conditioned in part that it not be sold or otherwise disposed of 
contrary to law.
