of guilty.    Fine, $25 and costs.    (F. & D. No. 42599.    Sample No. 21711-D.)
This product contained less than 80 percent of milk fat.
On June 13, 1939, the United States attorney for the Northern District of 
Iowa, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the district 
court an information against Louis J. Ehlert, trading as Fonda Creamery at 
Fonda, Iowa, alleging shipment by said defendant in violation of the Food and 
Drugs Act, on or about March 24, 1938, from the State of Iowa into the State 
of Illinois, of a quantity of butter that was adulterated.
The article was alleged to be adulterated in that a product which contained 
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.
On June 13, 1939, the defendant having entered a plea of guilty, the court 
imposed a fine of $25 and costs.
HARBY L. BROWN, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
