This case was based on an interstate shipment of butter that contained less 
than 80 percent of milk fat.
On September 14, 1934, the United States attorney for the Western District 
of Wisconsin, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the 
district court an information against Herman A. Curt, trading as Almena 
Creamery, Almena, Wis., alleging shipment by said defendant in violation of 
the Food and Drugs Act, in the name of the Turtle Lake Cooperative Co., on or 
about January 30, 1934, from the State of Wisconsin into the State of Illinois, 
of a quantity of butter which was adulterated.
The article was alleged to be adulterated in that a product containing less 
than 80 percent by weight of milk fat had been substituted for butter, a product 
which should contain not less than 80 percent of milk fat as prescribed by an 
act of Congress of March 4, 1923.
On November 12, 1934, the defendant entered a plea of nolo contendere, and 
the court imposed a fine of $10.
M. L. WILSON, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
