21679. Adulteration of   butter.     V.   S.   v.   William   Madsen   and   Ralph   B.
Young: (Cole Camp Creamery).    Pleas of guilty.    Fines, $20.     (F. & D. 
no. 30198.    Sample no. 3566-A.)
This case was based on an interstate shipment of butter, samples of which 
were found to contain less than 80 percent by weight of milk fat, the standard 
for butter established by Congress.
On June 5, 1933, the United States attorney for the Western District of 
Missouri, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the 
district court an information against William Madsen and Ralph B. Young, 
copartners trading as the Cole Camp Creamery, Cole Camp, Mo., alleging ship- 
ment by said defendants in violation of the Food and Drugs Act, on or about 
July 29,1932, from the State of Missouri into the State of Illinois, of a quantity 
of butter that was adulterated.
It was alleged in the information that the article was adulterated in that a 
product deficient in milk fat, in that it contained less than 80 percent by weight 
of milk fat, had been substituted for butter, a product which must contain not 
less than 80 percent by weight of milk fat as required by the act of March 4, 
1923, which the article purported to be.
On October 13, 1933, the defendants entered pleas of guilty to the informa- 
tion, and the court imposed fines totaling $20.
M. L. WILSON, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
