21919. Misbranding of bone and meat scrap.    IT. S. v. 60 Bags of Bone and
Meat Scrap. Default decree of condemnation, forfeiture, and 
destruction.     (F. & D. no. 31681.    Sample no. 14145-A.)
This case involved a shipment of feed that contained less protein than 
declared on the label.
On December 7,1933, the United States attorney for the District of Maryland, 
acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the district court 
a libel praying seizure and condemnation of 60 bags of bone and meat scrap at 
Gaithersburg, Md., alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate com- 
merce on or about November 11, 1933, by the Wilkins-Rogers Milling Co., from 
Washington, D.C, and charging misbranding in violation of the Food and 
Drugs Act. The article was labeled in part: " Bone & Meat Scrap Guaranteed 
Analysis Protein 50% * * * Manufactured by Norton & Co. Washington, 
D.C."
It was alleged in the libel that the article was misbranded in that the state- 
ment on the label,." Protein 50% ", was false and misleading and deceived and 
misled the purchaser.
On January 24, 1934, no claimant having appeared for the property, judgment 
of condemnation and forfeiture was entered, and it was ordered by the court 
that the product be destroyed by the United States marshal.
M. L. WILSON, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
