22558. Adulteration of butter.    U. S. v. Edwin Manx, "Walter Kruger, and
Herbert R. Scnmltt (Paynesville Cooperative Creamery Associa- 
tion). Pleas of guilty. Fine, $25. (F. & D. no. 31420. Sample no. 
11005-A.)
This case involved a 'Shipment of butter that contained less than 80 percent 
by weight of milk fat.
On May 24, 1934, the United States attorney for the District of Minnesota, 
acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the district court 
an information against Edwin Manz, Walter Kruger, and Herbert R. Schmitt, 
trading as the Paynesville Cooperative Creamery Association, Paynesville, 
Minn., alleging shipment by said defendants, in violation of the Food and 
Drugs Act, on or about May 24, 1932, from the State of Minnesota into the 
State of New York, of a quantity of butter which was adulterated. The 
article was labeled in part: " S. & W. Waldbaum   *    *   *   New York."
It was alleged in the information that the article was adulterated in that 
a product which contained less than 80 percent by weight of milk fat had 
been substituted for butter, a product which should contain not less than 
80 percent by weight of milk fat as prescribed by the act of March 4, 1923, 
which the article purported to be.
On May 24, 1934, the defendants entered pleas of guilty to the information, 
and the court imposed a total fine of $25.
M. L. WILSON, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
