On May 6, 1927, the United States attorney for the District of Maryland, act- 
ing upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the District Court 
of the United States for said district libels praying seizure and condemnation 
of 74S sacks of dairy feed, remaining in the original unbroken packages in part 
at Gaithersburg, Md., and in part at Adamstown, Md., alleging that the article 
had been shipped by the Chas. A. Krause Milling Co., from Milwaukee, Wis., in 
various consignments, on or about January 24, February 8, and April 7, 1927, 
respectively, and transported from the State of Wisconsin into the State of 
Maryland, and charging misbranding in violation of the food and drugs act.
The article was labeled in part: "Thomas' Dairy T Feed (or "Thomas' Victory 
T Feed") Guaranteed Analysis Protein 16y2% (or "24%") * * * Manufac- 
tured by Thomas & Company, Frederick, Md."
It was alleged in the libels that the article was misbranded in that it was 
falsely branded as to the State in which it was manufactured, and in that the 
labels bore statements, regarding the said article or the ingredients or sub- 
stances contained therein, which were false and misleading and deceived and 
misled the purchaser, as follows: " Guaranteed Analysis Protein 16%% * * * 
Manufactured by Thomas & Company, Frederick, Md.," and " Guaranteed 
Analysis Protein 24% * * * Manufactured by Thomas & Company, Fred- 
erick, Md."
On May 14, 1927, the Chas. A. Krause Milling Co., Milwaukee, Wis., having 
appeared as claimant for the property, judgments of condemnation were en- 
tered, and it was ordered by the court that the product be i'eleased to the said 
claimant upon payment of the costs of the proceedings and the execution of 
bonds totaling $1,150, conditioned in part that it not be sold or disposed of until 
properly relabeled.
W. M. JARDINE, Secretary of Agriculture.
