24373. Adulteration of butter. U. S. v. Frank E. Clark (Clark's Creamery). 
Plea of guilty. Fine, $25 and costs. (F. & D. no. 33929. Sample 
no. 70757-A.)
This case was based on an interstate shipment of butter that contained 
less than 80 percent of milk fat.
On February 15, 1935, the United States attorney for the District of Ne- 
braska, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the 
district court an information against Frank B. Clark, trading as Clark's 
Creamery, Albion, Nebr., alleging shipment by said defendant in violation of 
the Food and Drugs Act on or about June 20, 1934, from the State of Ne- 
braska into the State of New York, of a quantity of butter which was adul- 
terated
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 must contain not less than 80 percent by weight of milk fat, as 
required by the act of Congress of March 4, 1923, which the article purported 
to be.
On March 7, 1935, the defendant entered a plea of guilty, and the court 
imposed a fine of $25 and costs.
M. L. WILSON, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
