acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the district court 
a libel praying seizure and condemnation of 370 cubes of butter at Omaha, Nebr., 
alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate commerce on or about 
May 25, 1936, by the Linwood Creamery Co., from Wichita, Kans., and charging 
adulteration in violation of the Food and Drugs Act.
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 provided by the 
act of March 4, 1923.
On July 21,1936, the Omaha Cold Storage Co., Omaha, Nebr., having appeared 
as claimant and having consented to the entry of a decree, judgment of condem- 
nation was entered and it was ordered that the product be released under bond 
conditioned that it should not be disposed of until it was brought up to the legal 
standard.
