14931.?Adulteration and misbranding of cottonseed meal. IT. S. v. 350 Sacks of Cottonseed Meal. Default decree of condemnation, for-? feitnre, and destruction. (F. & D. No. 20585. I. S. No. 6565-x. S. No.? E-5561.) On November 12, 1925, the United States attorney for the Southern District? of Florida, 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 350 sacks of cottonseed meal, remaining in the original? unbroken packages at Jacksonville, Fla., alleging that the article had been? shipped by the Montezuma Cotton Oil Co., from. Montezuma, Ga., on or about? September 29, 1925, and transported from the State of Georgia into the State? of Florida, and charging adulteration and misbranding in violation of the food? and drugs act. The article was labeled in part: " Cotton Seed Meal Monte?? zuma Cotton Oil Co. Montezuma, Georgia Guaranteed Analysis Protein (mini?? mum) 36.00 per cent Ammonia (minimum) 7.00 per cent Fibre (minimum) 14.00? per cent." Adulteration of the article was alleged in the libel for the reason that a? substance deficient in ammonia (protein) and containing excessive fiber had? been mixed and packed therewith so as to reduce, lower, and injuriously affect? its quality and strength and had been substituted in part for the said article. Misbranding was alleged for the reason that the statement " Guaranteed? Analysis Protein (minimum) 36.00 per cent Ammonia (minimum) 7.00 per? cent Fiber (minimum) 14.00 per cent," borne on the label, was false and mis?? leading and deceived and misled the purchaser, and for the further reason thati? it was offered for sale under the distinctive name of another article. On April 17, 1926, no claimant having appeared for the property, judgment? of condemnation and forfeiture was entered, and it was ordered by the court? that the 8 sacks of the product seized be destroyed by the United States!? marshal. W. M. JARDINE, Secretary of Agriculture.
