16054. Misbranding* of feed. TJ. S. v. 75 Bag's and 150 Bag's of Feed. De- 
crees of condemnation and forfeiture. Product released under 
bond.     (F. & D. Nos. 22970, 22971.    I. S. Nos. 013154, 01315S.    S. No. 1047.)
On or about August 10, 1928, the United States attorney for the District of 
Maryland, acting 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 22(5 bags of feed, remaining in the original unbroken packages 
at Baltimore, Md., alleging that the article had been shipped by the A. W. 
Scott Co., from San Francisco, Calif., on or about June 11, 1928, and trans- 
ported from the State of California into the State of Maryland, and charging 
misbranding in violation of the food and drugs act. The article was labeled in 
part: "Atlas Poultry Greens * * * Guaranteed Analysis Protein 20% Min. 
Fat 2% Min. Fibre 18% Max. Packed by The A. W. Scott Co., * * * San 
Francisco."
It was alleged in the libels that the article was misbranded in that the state- 
ments, " Guaranteed Analysis Protein 20% Min. Fat. 2% Min. Fibre 18% 
Max.," borne on the label, were false and misleading and deceived and misled 
the purchaser.
On August 23, 1928, the A. W. Scott Co., San Francisco, Calif., having ap- 
peared as claimant for the property, judgments of condemnation and forfeiture 
were 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 execu- 
tion of bonds totaling $300, conditioned in part that it should not be sold or 
disposed of until plainly and conspicuously labeled to show the correct contents.
ARTHUR M. HYDE, Secretary of Agriculture.
