21752. Misbranding of  gray   wheat  shorts   and   screening's.     17.   S.   v.   500
Sacks of Gray Wheat Shorts and Screening's. Consent decree of 
condemnation and forfeiture. Product released under bond to 
be relabeled.     (P. & D. no. 31731.    Sample no. 57532-A.)
This case involved an interstate shipment of feed that contained more 
crude fiber than declared on the label.
On November 13, 1933, the United States attorney for the District of 
Kansas, acting upon a report by the Kansas State Board of Agriculture, 
filed in the district court a libel praying seizure and condemnation of five 
hundred 100-pound sacks of gray wheat shorts and screenings at Atchison, 
Kans., alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate commerce 
on or about November 7, 1933, by Black Bros. Flour Mills Co., from 
Beatrice, Nebr., and charging misbranding in violation of the Food and 
Drugs Act. The article was labeled in part: " Guaranteed Analysis * * * 
Crude Fibre, Max. 6.00%    *    *    *   Black Bros. Flour Mills Beatrice, Nebr."
It was alleged in the libel that the article was misbranded in that the 
statement on the label, " Crude Fibre, Max. 6.00%", was false, since the 
article contained more than 6 percent of crude fiber.
On November 20, 1933, the Black Bros. Flour Mills Co., Beatrice, Nebr., 
having appeared as claimant for the property and having consented to the 
entry of a decree, judgment of condemnation and forfeiture was entered, 
and it was ordered by the court that the product be released to the claim- 
ant upon payment of costs and the execution of a bond in the sum of $1,000, 
conditioned that it be relabeled.
M. L. WILSON,. Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
