15218. Misbranding of cottonseed meal. V. S. v. 400 Sacks of Cottonseed 
Meal. Consent decree of condemnation and forfeiture. Product 
released under bond. (F. & D. No. 20836. I. S. No. 3825-X. S. No. 
W-1661.)
On February 11, 1926, the United States attorney for the District of Colo- 
rado, 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 con- 
demnation of 400 sacks of cottonseed meal, remaining in the original unbroken 
packages at Swink, Colo., consigned by the Planters Cottonseed Products Co., 
;       Dallas, Tex., alleging that the article had been shipped from Dallas, Tex., on or 
about January 28, 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: " Texoma Brand Primer Cottonseed 
Cake and  Meal    *    *    *    Guaranteed  Analysis  Protein  not less  than  43%. 
f        Texas Cake and Linter Company, Dallas, Texas."
i Misbranding of the article was alleged in the libel for the reason that the
I statement " Guaranteed Analysis Protein not less than 43% " was false and 
\ misleading' and deceived and misled the purchaser, since the said article did 
I        not contain 43 per cent of protein.
\ On July 6, 1927, the Planters Cottonseed Products Co., Dallas, Texas, claim-
\ ant, having admitted the allegations of the libel and having consented to the 
I' 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 $550, conditioned in part that it not be sold or otherwise disposed 
I       of contrary to law.
