On December 10 and December 17, 1928, respectively, the United States 
attorney for the District of Colorado, acting upon reports by the Secretary of 
Agriculture, filed in the District court of the United States for said district 
libels praying seizure and condemnation of 990 sacks of cottonseed meal and 
cake, remaining in the original unbroken packages in various lots at Denver, 
Lamar, and La Junta, Colo., respectively, consigned by the Continental Oil 
Cotton Co., Colorado, Tex., alleging that the articles had been shipped from 
Colorado, Tex., in various consignments on or about November 10, November 20, 
and November 27, 1928, respectively, and transported from the State of Texas 
into the State of Colorado, and charging misbranding in violation of the food 
and drugs act. The articles were labeled in part: "43 Per Cent Protein Cot- 
tonseed Cake (or "Meal") Manufactured by Continental Oil Cotton Company, 
Colorado, Texas,    *.   *    *    Crude Protein Not Less Than 43 Per Cent."
It was alleged in the libels that the articles1 were misbranded in that the 
statements " 43 Per Cent Protein " and " Crude Protein Not Less Than 43 Per 
Cent," borne on the labels, were false and misleading, and deceived and mis- 
lead the purchaser, since the said articles did not contain 43 per cent of 
protein.
On December 27, 1928, the Continental Oil Cotton Co., Colorado, Tex., claim- 
ant, having admitted the allegations of the libels and having consented to the 
entry of decrees, judgments of condemnation and forfeiture were entered, and 
it was ordei^ed by the court that the products be released to the said claimant 
upon payment of costs and the execution of bonds totaling $1,000, conditioned 
in part that they shouldmot be be sold or otherwise disposed of contrary to 
law.

On August 21, 1928, the United States attorney for the District of New 
Jersey, 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-

the article had been shipped by H. F. Sawyer & Son, Vinalhaven, Me., on or 
about July 2, 1928, and transported from the State of Maine into the State of
New Jersey, and charging adulteration in violation of the food and drugs act. 
The article was labeled in part: "Three Star Brand American Sardines in 
Cotton Seed Oil Packed by H. F. Sawyer & Son, Vinalhaven, Maine."

sisted in part of a decomposed animal substance.
