Examination of the so-called heavy sweetened Buffalo corn gluten feed from

Court of the United States for the district aforesaid a libel praying seizure 
and condemnation of 300 bags of so-called heavy sweetened Buffalo corn gluten 
feed, remaining in the original unbroken packages at Atchison, Kans., alleging 
that the article had been shipped by the Corn Products Refining Co., New York, 
N. Y., from Kansas City, Mo., on or about January 30, 1931, and had beenr 
transported from the State of Missouri into the State of Kansas, and charging 
misbranding in violation of the food and drugs act as amended.
It was alleged in the libel that the article was misbranded in that the bags 
bore no mark, brand, or label showing the net weight of the contents.
On May 26, 1931, the Blair Elevator Corporation, Atchison, Kans., claimant 
having agreed to label the product to show the net weight, as required by law, 
and having consented to the entry of a decree, judgment of condemnation was 
entered and it was ordered by the court that the said product be released to 
be properly labeled, and that claimant pay costs.
