26722. Adulteration of  butter.     IT.   S.  v.  Alfred  Woodson   Moline   (Western
Dairy Products  Co.).     Plea of guilty.     Fine, $50.     (F.  & D.  no.   38585. 
Sample no. 56221-B.)
This case involved butter that contained less than 80 percent by weight of 
milk fat.
On December 15, 1936, the United States attorney for the Eastern District 
of Oklahoma, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the 
district court an information against Alfred Woodson scalding, trading as 
Western Dairy Products Co., Maleate, Okla., alleging shipment by said 
defendant in violation of the Food and Drugs Act, on or about May 2, 1936,
from the State of Oklahoma 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 by weight of milk fat as pre- 
scribed by the act of March 4, 1923, which the article purported to be.
On December 17, 1936, the defendant entered a plea of guilty and the court 
imposed a fine of $50.
M. L. WILSON, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
