On July 12, 1937, the United States attorney for the Northern District of 
California, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the 
district court a libel praying seizure and condemnation of seven cubes of butter 
at San Francisco, Calif., alleging that it had been shipped in interstate commerce 
on or about June 30, 1937, by the Roseburg Creamery Co. from Roseburg, Oreg., 
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.
On August 9, 1937, Bennett & Layton, Inc., San Francisco, Calif., having 
appeared as claimant judgment of condemnation was entered, and the product 
was ordered released under bond conditioned that it be brought up to the legal 
standard under the supervision of this Department.
HABET L. BROWN, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
