On or about October 16, 1928, 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 400 sacks of Atlas poultry greens at Tampa, Fla., alleging 
that the article had been shipped by the A. W. Scott Co., from San Francisco, 
Calif., September 12, 1928, and transported from the State of California into the 
State of Florida, and charging misbranding in violation of the food and drugs 
act. The article was labeled in part: (Tag) "Atlas Poultry Greens manufac- 
tured by The A. W. Scott Co., San Francisco, California. Guaranteed Analysis 
Crude Protein, not less than 20 per cent * * * Crude Fiber, not More than 
18 per cent,"
It was alleged in the libel that the article was misbranded in that the following 
statements regarding the said article were false and misleading and deceived 
and misled the purchaser: " Crude Protein, not less than 20 per cent," " Crude 
Fiber, not More than 18 per cent,"
On October 30', 1928, the Jackson Grain Co., Tampa, Fla., having appeared as 
claimant for the property and having admitted the allegations of the libel, judg- 
ment of condemnation and forfeiture was entered, and it was ordered by the 
court that the product be released to the said claimant upon the execution of a 
bond in the sum of $250, conditioned in part that it be relabeled so that the 
product conform with the labels in the matter of protein and fiber content. It 
was further ordered by the court that the claimant pay costs.
