19542. Misbranding of   dairy   feed.    V.   S.   v.   Arcady   Farms   Milling;   Co.
Plea of suilty. Fine, $100 and costs. (F. & D. No. 26592. I. S. No. 
18562.)
Samples of dairy feed from the shipment herein described having been found 
to contain less protein and fat and more fiber than was declared on the label, 
the Secretary of Agriculture reported the matter to the United States attorney 
for the Northern District of Illinois.
On October 10, 1931, the United States attorney filed in the District Court 
of the United States for the district aforesaid an information against the 
Arcady Farms Milling Co., a corporation, trading at Chicago, Ill., alleging 
shipment by said company on or about September 18, 1930, in violation of the 
food and drugs act, from the State of Illinois into the State of Maryland, 
of a quantity of dairy feed that was misbranded. The article was labeled 
in part: "Dairy Feed * * * Protein 16.00%; Fat 3.50%; Fibre 13.50% 
*    *    *   Manufactured by Arcady Farms Milling Co., Chicago, Ill."
It was alleged in the information that the article was misbranded in that 
the statements, "Protein 16.00%, Fat 3.50%, Fibre 13.50%," borne on the 
sacks containing the article, were false and misleading; and for the further 
reason that it was labeled as aforesaid sd as to deceive and mislead the pur- 
chaser ; since the said article contained not more than 14.54 per cent of protein, 
not more than 2.99 per cent of fat, and not less than 15.50 per cent of fiber.
On January 25, 1932, the defendant entered a plea of guilty to the informa- 
tion, and the court imposed a fine of $100 and costs.
