On September 28, 1938, the United States attorney for the Western District of 
Wisconsin, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the dis- 
trict court an information against Leo J. Jacobsen, trading as the Roberts 
Creamery, Roberts, Wis., alleging shipment by said defendant in violation of the 
Food and Drugs Act on or about May 5, 1938, from the State of Wisconsin into 
the State of Minnesota, of quantities of butter which was misbranded. The 
article was labeled in part: (One shipment) "Fancy Country Roll Butter"; 
(another shipment) "Johnson's Full Cream Butter * * * Packed By Roberts 
Creamery."
It was alleged to be misbranded in that the statement "One Pound Net," borne 
on the wrappers of a portion and on the cartons of the remainder, was false and 
misleading and was borne on said wrappers and cartons so as to deceive and 
mislead the purchaser, since they contained less than 1 pound net of the article. 
Misbranding was alleged further in that the article was food in package form 
and the quantity of the contents was not plainly and conspicuously marked on 
the outside of the package.
,On November 15, 1938, the defendant having entered a plea of guilty, the court 
imposed a fine of $25 and costs.
M. L. WILSON, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
